Standard of living

I still got copies of some of my original writings that surprise me. I see where more and more people are looking for free food, including free meals . Other things I read in the paper that I wrote is that as the educators got more and more degrees it seemed like our education system seemed to go down hill. Things like history, geography, penmanship, and of course music seemed like disappear from our education system. It also seemed like as the Industry got more and more profit jobs were lost. The other thing that I noticed was as the stock market was used for the retirement system, it also seemed like people's standard of living went down. Is this ideas just my imagination or am I dreaming. Apparently the stock market is used for profit taking instead of growing the industry to make more jobs and of course increase the standard of living. I will admit that without social securty, medicare where woul the older be maybe like back in the 30's the older would die sooner, suffer more and maybe for what it is worth is the medical care for the average citizen would also decrease. Everything has it's purpose in life. Soembody has to help in increasing the health of the people since just the profit approach will not bring up the standard of living. Just some thoughts wrote them,
