<p>[QUOTE=&quot;medoraman, post: 1576386, member: 26302&quot;]I agree. While I was not in the workforce, I was a weird kid and read a lot about the economy and personally experienced it through my mother&#039;s paycheck. She got large COLA adjustments every year. They were expected by nearly everyone in the workplace. Yes, holding cash sucked, but returns from even a bank account were 10 times what they are today. I grew up poor in this environment and &quot;finding food to eat&quot; was not the concern. </p><p><br /></p><p>Pep&#039;s writeup reminded me of the Soviet Union stories I read about in the same time frame. Are you sure you aren&#039;t mixing up the two countries?[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
