Mittens should have addressed the issue in his concession speech last November. He should have said: “Good luck finding a job.”
They will be competing with the “Amnesty Class of 2013” too.
What are you talking about? Romney, politically speaking, is Obama. -- If JFK had been running in the election he would have been the most conservative candidate there (except, perhaps, Gary Johnson, who ran Libertarian party; Vergil Goode, who ran Constitution party, or Tome Hoefling, of America's party).
Of some interest in 1951 it was $2500 per year for accountants. But $2500 was about the cost of a 4 year education. So carrying that forward if today’s 4 year education would cost $100,000 then $100,000 would be the starting salary, not $50,000. Today’s students have it twice as bad if they even can get jobs. What happened?
Like the others really had a chance of winning?
Pell Grants and Student Loans...who cares how much tuition is if someone else is paying for it, or if I don't have to worry about paying for it until years later?
My youngest daughter came out of college in Dec. 2009. She searched, and searched for a job and couldn't find one. She finally got a certificate that would allow her to teach English overseas, and is now beginnning her third year in Japan teaching English. I'm not sure when we will see her back here.
Marxists for sale! Get your fresh marxists!
Irrelevant.
As I see it Romney was so close to Obama, politically, that his win would be virtually indistinguishable from an Obama win [policy-wise]. (IE Romney and Obama are only a few cents different when compared to ideologies of, say, JFK or RR which would be [at least] hundreds of dollars different.)
Besides, to say that they didn't have a chance of winning is to say that their votes did not count [because their candidates lost] and yet Romney lost, so then does that make the votes for him not count? -- You cannot have it both ways: either a vote for someone who loses counts or it does not, and if it does not then why vote?
I've thought about doing the same; I do want to go to Japan, someday.
Yeah, it's looking a little tough on the employment market, although better marginally than the last couple of years. I have a nephew just entering college after spending the year after his high school graduation doing commercial house cleaning. I think it turned out to be a fantastic decision, actually - I asked him a couple of weeks ago what he wanted to do, and he said, "Not this." He's looking at a business major. Completely different kid from a year ago.
LOL...Starbucks is hiring. Those Liberal Arts majors fit right in.
RE: As I see it Romney was so close to Obama, politically, that his win would be virtually indistinguishable from an Obama win [policy-wise].
Let’s assume that Romney keeps his promises.
1) He would immediately grant waivers to all states for Obamacare.
2) He would sign a bill given to him by Congress to repeal Obamacare and start from scratch.
3) At the corporate level, the Romney plan would make reduce the corporate income tax rate from 35 to 25 percent.
4) Romney would also permanently repeal the 0.9 percent tax on wages and the 3.8 percent tax on investment income of high-income individual taxpayers that were imposed by the 2010 health reform legislation and are scheduled to take effect in 2013.
5) Governor Romney would have permanently extended ALL the 2001 and 2003 tax cuts that were scheduled to expire in 2013, repeal the AMT and certain tax provisions in the 2010 health reform legislation, and cut individual income tax rates by an additional 20 percent.
6) Would sign a bill that would PERMANENTLY do away with the death tax.
Tell me how that is similar to Obama again?

My frat mate from Stanford also graduated but in 2008 and is now also in Japan teaching English, advanced and pro. The funny part, is that we were joking at what career he could get as an English major. He is now in his 6th year in the Hokkaido prefecture teaching in the local gakuen’ (high school) and has a small business catering to Japanese professionals. Of course he’s popular in the high school there..how many blonde dudes do you see in Japan? Whenever I head to the Philippines, I make sure to drop by for a couple of days and hang out with him.
Lets.
1) He would immediately grant waivers to all states for Obamacare.
Ah, yes, and thus grant a nice method to blackmail the states to himself or any future president: do what I say or you'll lose your waiver!
2) He would sign a bill given to him by Congress to repeal Obamacare and start from scratch.
This is a null promise -- do you think congress is going to do any such thing? Hell, they're exempt from Obamacare so they have no reason to care.
3) At the corporate level, the Romney plan would make reduce the corporate income tax rate from 35 to 25 percent.
He cannot do that -- Congress is in charge of laws, not the President.
4) Romney would also permanently repeal the 0.9 percent tax on wages and the 3.8 percent tax on investment income of high-income individual taxpayers that were imposed by the 2010 health reform legislation and are scheduled to take effect in 2013.
He cannot do that -- Congress is in charge of laws, even tax laws, not the President.
5) Governor Romney would have permanently extended ALL the 2001 and 2003 tax cuts that were scheduled to expire in 2013, repeal the AMT and certain tax provisions in the 2010 health reform legislation, and cut individual income tax rates by an additional 20 percent.
He cannot do that, the President does not have the authority to alter the law, that is the purview of the Congress.
6) Would sign a bill that would PERMANENTLY do away with the death tax.
Mostly meaningless: there would be nothing stopping the next congress/admin form passing a new death-tax; furthermore, congress has no intention of ending any tax.
Tell me how that is similar to Obama again?
They're both statists, and socialists, who have no concept of the proper limits of authority for the position of President. -- How are they different?
The Lower House did just that. It died in Senate.

The Republican-led U.S. House of Representatives, on a near party-line vote of 2 44- 1 85, passed a bill on Wednesday to repeal President Barack Obama’s overhaul of the U.S. healthcare system.

Had Romney won, his victory would have carried the headwinds for Congressional control as well.
And the Obamacare repeal bill would have passed both houses and gone to a President Romney.
