Everyone should read “Working” to understand how mess up the country has become. The politicians have been selling a false picture of life in the US for years, and people need a hearty dose of reality. Every time I read about the 1950s as a “golden age” in the US I want to puke. There were no “good old days”.

I loved my grandfather’s response to someone asking about the “good old days” – You mean World War I, the Depression, or World War II?
