Here is what your son needs to do. Go to Military Sealift Command, it is a federal agency that works
for the us navy. He needs to look for a job there..I suggest start as an ordinary seaman....it takes
a few months to do the paperwork, physical, but unless he has a criminal or drug history he will get hired. He will make about 40 thousand his 1st year. He will work, and work hard, but he will make money. He can
make AB and his salary will go up to 50 a year or higher.

He should do this job for four years and then quit and go to Full Sail. He can save enough money to
pay his own way.

MSC is a good job for people that don't mind hard work. You can travel around the world, see something besides the USA.

Good luck!

Whats your alternative ? Romney /Ryan ? Now thats like throwing away everything we have worked for. Romney is totally out of touch with the People, he is a joke, you know that, you just won't admit it. Ryan, he is scary, Romney will loose just because of Ryan. You do not touch Social Security and medicare.Its the third rail in Politics. period !




The middle class has no faith in Obama to let go of any money it doesn't have to.
When he is gone the clock ("time") wil start clicking towards healing.

The middle class has run out of its own money that the government has already spent. There is nothing left of which to let go.

You are quick to blame somebody, like a frustrated person who strikes out at anything or anybody. Most of us middle class people have got on with our lives, get a life, please! There are jobs for those wanting to work, quit blaming our President when the alternative has no plan at all, real joke. Obama will see 4 more years, and most people will be happy, the economy is on the mend big time hang in there !

You no not of what you speek. I am in the business of distributing Large capital goods equipment. We never have been busier , in the last 40 years ,!Companies are buying, shortage of skilled workers, and there are not enough truck drivers. You consider this before you make a statement about the economy.

You're a great example of your own post.
You've been "striking out" all over this thread.
Yes, you.

I have a good job and have maintained one through all of this.
Plain facts are everything has gone way up and people do not have confidence in the economy nor Obama.
They are not spending except as needed in order to keep some extra security due to that.

If there are jobs for those willing to work than Obama ought to be telling his ever growing public assistance supporters that instead of making it look like Obama is not doing his job by having a good plan to end this as he promised.
They are making him look awful bad, or are they just "messing" with him?

Are you saying my statement about our industry ( trucking) is not true ? That there has not been an increase in capital goods spending for machinery and equipment / which would indicate a growing demand ? I stand by what I have said. Furthermore, Obama has addressed the available Jobs issue many times. Its common knowledge that there IS a shortage of skilled workers, its also common knowledge that there is a demand for more truck drivers, who, carry the goods to the marketplace correct ?
