My family went through that ... twice ....

Not as much money ..... In the $90,000's until 1993, then BAM .... one layoff and we're on the fast track to poverty ....

We rise up again, on sheer guts and wherewithall ... Only to go through it again 10 years later in 2003 ...


It took two years to get back on track ... but I am still working at reduced wages, and learning to live with less ...

We still struggle ...

Can anyone show me any instance where conservative economic principles have been used in a society that went on to develop a decent standard of living for citizens and families ?


What country at what time ? .....

The only time I know of was the 1930's through 2000, when the efforts by conservatives in the 1990's to wipe out 'New Deal' thinking eventually bore fruit, and wages took a different, less steep climb than prices ... and wages had less and less ability to raise and nurture a family ....
