I hear Obama is doing everything he can to increase the number of available jobs for golf caddies.

This is why the chamber of crony capitalists insists on an unending stream of illegal workers to do these jobs. Amnesty is just a carrot to keep this exploitable resource crossing the border.

Our overpriced Universities are, but higher EDUCATION is not.

Most jobs want a candidate with a degree regardless. I’
ll believe it when I see people getting hired AT DECENT WAGES. I suppose those “medical jobs” are in retirement homes where one starts at minimum wage or just above.

Here’s how I look at it:

In the past, if you wanted a middle class lifestyle, both spouses worked and mainly knew a skilled trad that was valuable. Being intellectual was for the upper classes with nothing but time on their hands and being a tradesman was respectable.

Only just now have huge numbers of people used education as their main way of moving up in the world and as a result it’s caused a deluge of morons entering higher education if only to get a degree and get a ‘good’ job. Not skilled, not fulfilling, but ‘good’ as in socially impeccable.

Instead of being something one enjoys, it’s all about climbing. now, employers are no longer interested in getting aspiring pampered aristocrats to do their job and do it well, but instead are going overseas and avoiding a lot of the hassle that fresh graduates bring with them all the time. Employers don’t want to pay for Mommy to take a year or two off of work or interested in paying over ten bucks for a switch flipper or put up with a young adult interested in turning their business into a socially correct work environment.

Our economy is unsustainable because people are looking to be taken are of, they are not interested in working anymore. When people show they have a skill on their resume, they will be hired. Bosses can’t afford to pay for a middle class lifestyle when they aren’t getting solid, skilled and talented workers.

Businesses are becoming like abused women who woke up and are walking away, not coming back no matter how much the abuser (US government and former workers) promise to the high heavens to reform and treat them better and change. Business won’t come back until there is real change, not socially engineered drivel.

Obamacare should lead to an increased demand for grave-diggers.
