well he got our attention when he said the tax cuts would cease for all the corporations offshoring/outsourcing jobs. My question is: Why is this not in effect NOW?
Not watching at all - and my blood pressure is nice and low
Me neither ... I pulled a Scarlett O'Hara I will think about it tomorrow when the media will replay and rerun and review and review and beat it to death. All the media hoopla day after day after day will drive a body nuts.
We need to send engraved invitations to the House and Senate to attend one of the Hog Calling contests they have in the NC mountains.
I think that he was alluding to reinventing yourself. Especially if you are in an industry that has been hard hit; get some education so that you are able to transition to another field.
Also, Americans are generally far less educated than our European or Asian counterparts...relying more on on-the-job training than degrees.
It actually sounded very much like what my site manager started talking about sometime last year...
(wonder if they chatted? )
That sounds good in theory ... I was part of the dot.com implosion. At that time, my father was terminally ill. I decided to withdraw from the work force and care for him. When his time was at hand, I returned to school. Managed a home, worked full-time, managed my father, buried my father, and graduated with high honors.
Because our society cannot read with comprehension, I've been unable to secure a job in the IT sector. My school loans have gone into default.
I have seen the writing capabilities of the so-called college grads of today. They don't know the difference between than and then, sell and sale, lose and loose, and on and on. Many of them don't understand simple sentence structure components, those being a noun and a verb, with a period at the end of the sentence. We won't go into the purpose and functions of a paragraph. That would be way beyond them.
So, you tell me. With school loans in default, and no hope of a lucrative position in a career, of what constructive value would it be for me to return to school? How would I secure a school loan?
I turned it off right after he said he does not believe in big government. I only allow myself to hear one lie per speech, and he got his in nice and early.
Location: Some got six month some got one solid. But me and my buddies all got lifetime here
