12. This is because our wages and benefits are now patterned after non-union workers wages and benefits

I am old enough to remember when it was the other way around and Americans' standard of living was improving every year. Back when we had strong manufacturing unions.

I can remember a time when the big news stories of the day were about decreasing class size and adding teachers in our schools rather than increasing class size and cutting teachers like it is now.

Anyone else old enough to remember those days?

Don
