[quote=SD Realtor]Cannot say I disagree with you Mike.
However I am not so sure that a few of our unions will take that stance… run that by the UAW or the teachers unions and lemme know what they think.[/quote]
Call me crazy, but I’ll bet most union workers would be more than happy to go back to 1995 (pick a year) wages IF prices for everything were to return to those levels as well. The truth is our purchasing power has taken a tremendous hit over the past few decades. Though we might be making more today, nominally; we are worse off than our counterparts have been since WWII with respect to purchasing power, IMHO.
