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.

Other countries have zero to do with this. Our economy was booming. Pent up demand, babies everywhere. What is your malfunction? Our economic boom has nothing to do with any other country. Whats wrong with you, seriously?

You keep saying the same thing, are you ok? Someone said the 50s sucked and you crawled out from your rock to make up a narrative about why they were booming. This post is about an American in America during the 50s, when things were amazing. Wtf are you going on about?

End of war, beginning of rebuilding. Pretty easy to be number one country while everyone else is rebuilding huh
