     I am 43 yrs old now, and when I was 12 I could work two hrs and
     make $6. cutting grass... a 16 oz coke was a dime, a gal of gas
     was 16 cents and a gal of milk was 39 cent...beef was 31 cent a
     pound and breed was less that 15 cent. where were you before
     Johnson ? Oh and wages we so low a family only needed one parent
     working to have a nice place to live and a good car to drive
     and could send a kid to college . Yes low wages add still all that
     before greed and intrest hikes!!!
     need I say more really?
