| 1. What we boomers came of age with |
|
It was more than transportation -- it was our culture. And not just pop culture. The automobile industry, with good-paying union jobs in the assembly plants and the support industries, fueled our prosperity. Everything from manufacturing brake pads and radial tires to highway construction to the mushrooming of suburbs and even exurbs, the credit and/or blame goes to the American automobile.
We grew up with it, we passed it along to our children, and we expected it to make our retirements truly golden. Something happened. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=o_FSicQWimU  |
