11. Thing's are worse now.

It seems like everyone had health coverage.

I was making $11.75 an hour with only a HS diploma doing what undocumented workers now do for $5.00 an hour.

We had ten working, unadulterated amendments to the constitution.

Things were made in America, unions were strong, there were no Wal Marts.

We had a president who wanted for us to become energy independent using renewable resources.

Interest rates were high, but nobody was giving away sub-prime loans, and we could write off interest on our taxes.

Media outlets were less concentrated and more independent.

There was no Fox news!
