Congratulations,college grads.
Four years ago,you handed Democrats the margin of victory needed to win the White House.
For the past four years,you have been able to insulate yourselves from the ramifications of that choice.
With room-and-board and health care financed by mom and dad,theres been little reason to worry about things such as rising gas prices,falling home values or a stagnant job market.
Thank God!This has left you plenty of time to get outraged about really important issues like paying for Sandra Flukes birth control!
But when the parties are over and the graduation gowns are put away,you are in for a rude awakening.
Even with diploma in hand many of you will have trouble finding a job.
Many of you who do find jobs will find yourselves dramatically underemployed working only part-time or working as receptionists or waiters while interning on the side. Even those of you who find work commensurate with your degrees will earn less (after adjusting for inflation) than your counterparts of a decade ago.
Hey, you may not have a job or an apartment, but at least Obamacare has made it possible for you to remain on your parents health insurance until the age of 26!
Of course, in the long term, youll be the ones paying for the massive increase to the federal debt caused by Obamacare and by the presidents refusal to take on entitlement reform.
Maybe now youll see the 2008 Obama campaign for what it really was:an indulgent fantasy in which the major conflicts in life simply dont exist.
Because as an 18-year-old college student, voting for Obama might have been the cool thing to do. But four years later,having the means to support yourself would be a heck of a lot cooler.

I am not sure we’ll see a lot of contrite college grads. They were not taught how to connect the dots.
The dots they were taught to connect lead them to “the government needs to come up with a job for me”.
Don't worry, you'll pay back that $300,000 in student loans with that Political Science degree in no time.
Jimmy Carter educated quite a few members of my generation. Not everybody. Not even close. But enough of us to get 8 years of Reagan and four years of a RINO who still looks positively statesmanlike compared to at least two of the occupants of the white house which we’ve had since.
They’ll be focused on getting their student loans cancelled. And vote for the bozo who promises to do it [Guess who].
We live in a “Scooter Store” Society: “I got my scooter, and at no cost to me!”
Awesome. Luckily I wasn’t drinking when I saw the pic/caption.
“Don’t worry, you’ll pay back that $300,000 in student loans with that Political Science degree in no time.”
Repeat after me. “Hi, I’m Rachel from credit services. There is no problem with your credit card at this time....”
They will never be able to follow the cause and effect
LOL! Yeah, those ads always tick me off.
