Akst: Suffering a Labor Day hangover

We spent most of Monday with friends, chillin’ and grillin’ while our kids played. It was relaxing, exactly how Labor Day should be.

I hope you enjoyed Monday, because here’s the hangover: My early prediction is that no matter who wins the presidency, by the end of the next presidency, Labor Day will cease to be a nationally recognized holiday.

I also think that no matter what happens with the economy (let’s say it continues to recover slowly), working Americans are going to continue to get the finely crafted, made-in-the-U.S.A. shaft.
