country was absolutely raped by corporate America, banks, Wall Street with politicians from both sides of the aisle in their pockets. I remember in school 25 years ago being taught about globalization and the global economy and asking how is that going to work out for the majority of the population when the jobs many of my friends parents had would no longer exist - and the answers back then were lame, retraining/education for skills that would be valuable in the new global economy, they were even suggesting that we'd be going to a 4 day work week in this new global economy, things would be so good we could have the same standard of living working less.
