A spoiled 23-year-old child with a degree in Oriental Philosopy or LGBT "Studies" is not going to be happy with a job stocking shelves and mopping floors at the local Ditz-Mart.

And as a friend of mine likes to say, "The trouble with college is that it's followed by a Big Long First Period, with a tough attendance policy and dress code."

People with those degrees probably wouldn't be able to find a job in a good economy nevermind a bad one.

A tax code that would be political suicide with the large financial campaign donations.

Not really justification but the advances in technology where every 5 year old and older has to have his own iPhone with unlimited text messaging and people need to up the size of their big screen televisions and no one would dream of living in a less than 3000 sq ft house, but all these do not create jobs for the American people because everything is manufactured somewhere else and housing construction jobs are for illegals only.

How can Americans expect to continue living very high on the hog but allow the jobs to go elsewhere? We don't manufacture those iPhones, or big screen LED televisions and construction jobs no longer go to Americans.
