73. Bush never says anything the people who lost their jobs after
25 or 30 years with good wages and benefits, and now are trying to live in areas where $10 is the maximum one can find a job.

My sister's plant closed after 30 years. She went to from $16 to ten dollars a hour. Hardly no benefits.

The people she worked with for the 27 years; a lot of them had something they didn't talk about either---they didn't graduate high school. We are talking about 55-60 year old people, where do you find a job now days without a diploma?
