SIR: What a record this Government has. First the flooding of this country with shoddy cheap imports, then the live-now-pay-later philosophy which, along with modern technology, caused so much unemployment and despair to families. Early retirement on a good pension may make way for the young to get a job and provide a happy life and stability to families again. Mass immigration will not solve things - they are only paid less by greedy employers.
