Well, I haven't updated it for a while But I say exactly the same thing in the UK, of UK workers. I grew up in an industrial town, and have seen what happens when people say manufacturing is "past it", and it is not pretty. When Rover closed, they said go work in Tescos. But the jobs are not comparable; one pays minimum wage, the other more than enough to pay for University tuition....

Also, Milton Friedman's theories are interesting, but a wholesale free market with no Government interference would be a disaster for the common man. This is what Thatcher tried; Blairs skill is melding the good things that capitalism does with the good things that social democracy does. I'll go back to reading Maynard Keynes now. Now he really was a genius!
