What's your opinion on his extended tax cuts, his corporate welfare bill masked as health care reform and the 3 additional free trade bills he's ready to sign?
100% agree. Obama is Bush 3.0

Count me as one of the suckers that thought we'd get troops home etc. etc.

Mammy archetype - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Why didn't you label Clinton, Bush or Carter with racial archetypes?

Totally disagree. In this climate and considering many of the manufacturing jobs are gone, employers are looking for sometype of educational discipline. H.S Diploma or GED often is not enough. Internal training cost and these companies are looking to keep their overhead down. If the long term unemployed are having a hard time finding employement, what makes you believe it will be any easier for a long term welfare recipient?

Because mastering a crossover dribble, xbox and rolling blunts is more important than studying. Our culture is seriously F;d up.

Which is why the US gives out a couple hundred thousand tech visas a year for jobs that pay pretty well.

I live in a town that has a lot of tech vias people and their kids.

At our annual math competition here are the last names of the top 10 finishers.

Agarwal
Aruna
Dasgupta
Dinakar
Ding
Huang
Liu
Liu
Ramanujan
Yurtbay

P.S. My sister has a masters in a medical field and they pay well....can't find employees to hire that speak english well...and the college curiculum is hard requiring lots of science so of course that rules out kids from the US graduating in numbers.

So in summary, what jodipper said was wrong, what was my point.

I never understood WHY...There are so many in this country that have tech degrees and certificates. These companies DO NOT have to reach out to India or other countries for resources. The notation that there aren't enough in the Pool here is crap. You have schools in the Northeast area that focus mainly on the Technical field. I'm sure the same could be said for schools across the U.S.
