From: RTAmerica | May 19, 2011

Greencrest Capital Senior Analyst Max Fraad Wolff says that the erosion of unions and benefits, coupled with the inability to recoup from the 2008 repression, are becoming detrimental to the economy. With astronomical unemployment rates and many unable to make ends meet, the safety net that exists to save Americans is ripe with holes, says Wolff.
