I attended a jobs workshop at the county employment office last month and the presenter said there are 300-600 applications for every job posted by that office.

There is a serious employment (and under employed)crisis in many parts of the country and too many conservatives are brushing it off as lazy people that don't want to work.

I seriously fear that if it gets much worse-and it isn't getting better despite the BS numbers-there will be economic repercussions that may eventually cause a deep recession.

What really chaffs me is the pols in DC who want to take care of illegals but don't give a crap about the millions of Americans who are seriously struggling.

I had a meeting with the folks at my county, the caseworker greeted me with a big smile and asked "How's it going", I looked at him and said, well I'm here, how do you think it's going? One of the most interesting things he told me is that they are having a huge problem with businesses not wanting to hire older applicants because they fear they will leave as soon as something better comes along. So I asked where someone would quit to go to when there isn't anything out there?
