Anyone who has dealt with recent U.S. college graduates will tell you that this country simply can't educate enough capable, responsible people to keep our economy running on all cylinders.

Wrong. There are plenty of US graduates and even foreign US graduates. Companies want cheap labor and avoid even training.

There’s a reason why that dingbat Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez was working as a bartender at the age of 28.

If I’m an employer I don’t want to train you to do every step of your job. You paid a fortune for a college degree ... didn’t you learn anything?

Absolutely concur. I remember maybe 20 years ago, companies would routinely train entire departments on new software packages.

Then Neutron Jack Welch and McKinsey sold the sheep-like, greedy executives on "offshoring."

Microsoft's Brian Valentine declaimed, "Think INDIA ! Two for the price of one!"

And companies expect employees to come in with 10-yrs experience on technologies which have only been around for 3 years.

Indians will play the game and lie about it.
