The American Standard of Living
For many years attaining the American standard of living has been the goal of most of the other people of the world. For generations millions of people from all over the world have come to American to give their families the benefits of our standard of living.
But that scene will be changing in the future. We are now suffering a decline in the American standard of living. We are being told that American wages cannot remain where they have historically been because of the “world economy” in which we must now “compete” for jobs. If that is so, jobs will continue to drain out of America until our wages … and our standard of living … has fallen to the level equal to that of the rest of the world.
Furthermore we are told that the current recession in our economy will experience a jobless recovery. We shouldn’t expect a rise in the available jobs for the American worker until our standard of living gets down to the level of the third world workers. At least then we won’t have to worry about illegal immigrants pouring into our country taking our jobs away!
