>>>With 4.7% unemployment, better jobs are out there waiting for qualified employees.>>>
Umm ok. And YOU have fallen into the rightthinking idea that just because the umemployment rate is 4.7, that these are jobs that pay enough to be OFF the government welfare system.
If someone is in a job that doesn't pay them what they want, they are free to go back to school, take job training, take courses online, etc., etc., etc. If people are "trapped," the snares are of their own making.
I'm sick of the victim mentality of too many people in this country, aided and abetted by the liberals constantly telling everyone how cr@ppy everything is. We've gotten to the point in this country that as soon as people don't have everything they think they deserve, they start looking around for someone else to blame.
If people aren't happy with their situation, they need to look in the mirror for the cause.
