If prosperity in this country were anywhere near as "hollow" as Buchanan suggests it is, there would be no career prospects for some inside-the-Beltway snot who has never had a real job in his life. When I meet Pat Buchanan at a truck stop somewhere in the Midwest and learn that he's working as an over-the-road trucker for 43 cents per mile, then I'll concede that maybe he's right about this "hollow prosperity" nonsense.
Mostly the same silly gaggle of naysayers squawking because Pat Buchanan wrote the article. They always chant the same mantra, no matter what the topic is.
That's because he always chants the same mantra, no matter what the news of the day is. I've debunked many of his claims enough times that I probably do sound repetitive.
Back in the 1990s he was complaining that high-tech "service" jobs weren't as good as the manufacturing jobs we had 50 years ago -- and now he's complaining that the loss of these jobs is an ominous sign for this country. When he complains about the loss of jobs that he never thought were worth a damn in the first place, he really comes across as a pathological malcontent.
