So sabre the fact that the economy is different from back in the day. Just like a dollar is not worth as much as it used to be. It takes more money to live because of inflation. I do not think that was a big problem then. The gov did not have social security, didnt build roads, pick up garbage, had a welfare system. How can you compare those economies to the one we are in now.
