[QUOTE="MrFedEx, post: 937115, member: 12508"] Yes. How many jobs were killed-off or made non-union with deregulation? Libertarians would say it's the free market just doing it's job. Many very large trucking companies and airlines disappeared very quickly. The newly formed companies were generally non-union, with much lower pay and benefits. Here's another question. If you are 40 or 50, what industry do you re-train for, and how do you pay for it, especially since you just lost your job? Libertarians wouldn't want to subsidize re-training, so how do you become a programmer, or systems analyst when you have a mortgage and a family to support? Most Libertarians are in secure careers where they don't have to worry about [I]their [/I]jobs. It's fine to speculate about the other guy and just mouth platitudes about entrepreneurship, hard work, and self-reliance. Unfortunately, the real world doesn't function on platitudes and hype.
