Well, I would savor the irony, except that I have one college graduate with a master's degree who is suffering through un and underemployment right now.
I have to give them a pass on voting for Obama - when I first got out of college I made the horrible mistake of voting for Carter. I've not regretted any vote I've made since.
Maybe my adult children will be smart enough to recognize bullshit in the next election.
Yes, the irony is that they supported him, yet now he is more worried about getting money from the Wall Street bankers that fueled the bubble that sparked this recession instead of promoting programs that will truly lower unemployment for all subcategories and restrengthen the Middle Class
Change. Changey Change Change. That we got. Barry had a quote during his campaign that gave me chills: "This is the greatest Country on earth, and I intend to Change it."

ReplyDeleteI love how after we were "out of the recession" the unemployment rate for this group jumped higher than it did while we were "in the recession".

ReplyDeleteAs I recall, 55% voted for Obama.
ReplyDeleteThe unemployment rate isn't half high enough to make sure we don't make this mistake again.
Change. Changey Change Change.
ReplyDeleteThat we got.

...that he has.
"the Wall Street bankers that fueled the bubble that sparked this recession"
ReplyDeleteCompletely insane nonsense.
The government forced bankers, under the full force of the law, to make stupid loans at stupid interest rates.
If you are an American voter, it is your fault, and your fault alone. Look in a mirror and shut up.

ReplyDeleteBut many bankers didn't require much arm-twisting to go along with the scam, either.
As an aside, how much of the lobbying for looser loan standards came from social crusaders, and how much from short-sighted banksters?
