Not sure if you remember the Music Row Democrats. They put out a production about the same time with songs covering all the important issues. Wish I still had it to listen to.

The problem is the business world has given up on the US as a market. Especially what was the middle class. The only business they see here is the high end and the dollar stores.

We've been screwn for about the last thirty years. Those of us that had the skills for manufacturing, or associated skills have been thrown under the bus and weren't allowed to train our youngers.

So it's a new world today and the skills needed in the past aren't of any value? Take a look at the Boeing 787. Ship off all the manufacturing to cheaper labor around the country but when it comes time to assemble it and make it work, it's got to be rebuilt by experienced tradesmen in Washington.
