Since the start of the "great recession" 2,000,000 jobs have been created that require college degrees.

your source clearly has an agenda.

while 63% of “Generation Y” workers — those age 18 to 29 — have a bachelor’s degree, the majority of the jobs taken by graduates don’t require one, according to an online survey of 500,000 young workers carried out between July 2011 and July 2012 by PayScale.com, a company that collects data on salaries.

Another survey by Rutgers University came to the same conclusion: Half of graduates in the past five years say their jobs didn’t require a four-year degree and only 20% said their first job was on their career path.

Facts, what about a tanking flusing in the toilet economy. Do you disagree with the experts, are you an expert now!

The facts that we have more unemployed and for a longer period of time, and still going strong, those are facts. People have lost their homes, still losing homes, going into foreclosures, short sales and bank owned properties. Still happening.

Many businesses are closing their door, no profits, businesses are afraid to hire. Facts, what about we are known as a welfare Nation, more homeless, people on welfare, and more food stamps then ever before. Are those facts. More unemployed women then any other time.
I find it amusing, that some people can't see what is going on around them, and that they are stuck in a time warp. And there is a name for those folks too!
Why do you bring beliefs into some thing that is reality, nothing to do with a belief, it has to do with being and living in reality, in the now, and the knowing what is going on.

Talk about Confusion! Do you sincerely feel that this is wondeful, joful teriffic over the top, Hope n' Change, well your sure a rare commodity.
