The high cost of deregulation: Joblessness, bankruptcy, debt Since deregulation of the trucking industry in 1980, more than 100 once- thriving trucking companies have gone out of business. More than 150,000 workers at those companies lost their jobs. Since deregulation of the airlines in 1978, a dozen airline companies have merged or gone out of business.  More than 50,000 of their employees lost their jobs. Since deregulation of the savings and loan industry in 1982, about 650 S&Ls have folded, with at least 400 more in serious trouble. The bailout will leave taxpayers stuck with a half-trillion-dollar tab.

- I've heard the term elective surgery, but I'm not sure what it means. Is it just a procedure that you choose to get, like a nose job? – Heather. Though the name elective might imply that this type of surgery is optional, that's not always the case. An elective procedure is simply one that is planned in advance, rather than one that's done in an emergency situation. A wide range of surgical procedures can be considered elective. Cosmetic surgeries fall into this category, but so can things like ear tubes, tonsillectomies, and scoliosis surgery.
