Over half the country uneducated? I would rather go back to the sixties than live in Obama's economy. At least one person back then working could support a family.
Yes, but what you don't get is back then, manufacturing was very labor intensive. So was construction, or for that matter, office work before you had computers. (I try to imagine what it would be like to do either of my two jobs without a computer, with maybe just a typewriter.)
Now, the thing is "back then", uneducated whites had things called "Unions" that made sure they got a fair wage. Even if you didn't belong to a union, non-union jobs paid competitively to attract talent.
Of course, the "Obama Economy" you whine about is the cumulation of 40 years of Republican policies of busting unions, free trade deals, as well as hyperinflation back in the 1970's and feminism.
(See, I'm a fair guy, I spread the blame around equally.)
The thing is, nothing Trumpenfuhrer is suggesting will really fix any of those problems.
Now he might be a lot more clever than we all thought, he said those things to get your votes, and then he'll turn around and do things that WILL work.
That works on the assumption he isn't the buffoon he appears to be.
