Perhaps this is why most of us no longer have pensions, many of
us losing healthcare etc. Think about this. How in the 1940's
and 1950's could a single person have enough income to provide
for their family, have full healthcare, a defined benefit plan
etc. And now 60 years later with all the technologies and
efficiencies that we have, 2 people have to work, no guaranteed
retirements, health care, heck now they are trying to privatize
social security for God's sake. Maybe this has a little to do
with it....  Grandpa's generation was a little smarter than ours
it appears.
