Yeah and gas was $.30 a gallon for high test. Bread was .20 a loaf. I boughta 1968 Camero new in 1968. The payments were 35 dollars and some change a month. A furnished apartment was 35 dollars a week. At the local restaurants a cheeseburger all the way, an order of fries and a small drink was 52 cents. The only problem was those dollars were hard to come by.

We're supposedly in the worst recession since the Depression, yet how many young kids today (say, 18-29 years old) have $500 iPhones (and iPads) and $150+ monthly data plans?
These are same kids who are whining about their college loan debt too.

And a really good wage was a whopping $1.50 an hour, no ATMs and banks were only open a few hours a day, no Internet so leftist journalists controlled the news, etc etc.

Spare me the sentimentality. There are no time machines, all we got is the here & now.

I can remember gas under .20 cents a gal, which was lucky for me, driving a Oldsmobile rocket that got about 7 mpg on the highway!
