Here are some quotes from people in the US during the 1950s.<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>&#8220;I&#8217;ll tell you one thing, if things keep going the way they are it&#8217;s going to be impossible to buy a weeks groceries for $20.&#8221;<\/li>\n<li>&#8220;Have you seen the new cars coming out next year? It won&#8217;t be long when $5,000 will only buy a used one.&#8221;<\/li>\n<li>&#8220;If cigarettes keep going up in price, I&#8217;m going to quit. A quarter a pack is ridiculous.&#8221;<\/li>\n<li>&#8220;Did you hear the post office is thinking about charging dime just to mail a letter?&#8221;<\/li>\n<li>&#8220;The Government wants to get its hands on everything. Pretty soon it&#8217;s going to be impossible to run a family business or farm.&#8221;<\/li>\n<li>&#8220;If they raise the minimum wage to $1, nobody will be able to hire outside help at the store.&#8221;<\/li>\n<li>&#8220;When I first started driving, who would have thought gas would someday cost 50 cents a gallon. Guess we&#8217;d be better off leaving the car in the garage.&#8221;<\/li>\n<li>&#8220;Kids today are impossible. Those duck tail hair cuts make impossible to stay groomed. Next thing you know, boys will be wearing their hair as long as the girls.&#8221;<\/li>\n<li>&#8220;Also, their music drives me wild. This &#8216;Rock Around The Clock&#8217; thing is nothing but racket.&#8221;<\/li>\n<li>&#8220;I&#8217;m afraid to send my kids to the movies any more. Ever since they let Clark Gable get by with saying &#8216;damn&#8217; in &#8216;Gone With The Wind,&#8217; it seems every movie has a &#8216;hell&#8217; or&#8217;damn in it.&#8221;<\/li>\n<li>&#8220;Also, it won&#8217;t be long until couples are sleeping in the same bed in the movies. What is this world coming to?&#8221;<\/li>\n<li>&#8220;Marilyn Monroe is now showing her bra and panties, so apparently there are no standards anymore.&#8221;\n<li>&#8220;Pretty soon you won&#8217;t be able to buy a good 10 cent cigar.&#8221;<\/li>\n<li>&#8220;I read the other day where some scientist thinks it&#8217;s possible to put a man on the moon by the end of the of the century. They even have some fellows they call astronauts preparing for it down in Texas.&#8221;<\/li>\n<li>&#8220;Did you see where some baseball player just signed a contract for $75,000 a year just to play ball? It wouldn&#8217;t surprise me if someday they&#8217;ll be making more than the president.&#8221;<\/li>\n<li>&#8220;Do you suppose television will ever reach our part of the country?&#8221;<\/li>\n<li>&#8220;I never thought I&#8217;d see the day all our kitchen appliances would be electric. They are even making electric typewriters now.&#8221;<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Ah, the good old days.
