The economy in the 50s was booming. America never had it so good. Do you people even read?

Was booming because everyone else was blown up and rebuilding.

Canada was booming too. My parents said the 50's were awesome. Best days of their lives.

Perspective is everything. I guess if your country was bombed to oblivion in WW2 times would be hard. Bad people suck. Good people need to put bad people down. That's life.
