Another 188 billion dollars down the drain as they pay the dregs...I'm sorry, the "long term unemployed"... to play XBox all day.
Funny...thats nothing compared to the trillions spent to save the bankster deadbets, and they do far less to boost the economy than the 'long-term unemployed' do
I like Obamas' grand design: Soften up the common American by giving them just enough to get hooked, then bring them under the govt. thumb to serve millionaires like house servants.
Of course, it only works if you manage to climb aboard the "SS Sucks-To-Be-You".
Bon Voyage Commoners!
But yeah, there are no opportunities or jobs for those willing to get an education. Right.
The problem with that statement is that "education" has nothing to do with skills anymore, it just means go screw around for 4 years and get a degree in puppetry. You'd laugh your ass off at my "education" but hey I make money because I have skills.
Tell ya what, how about a trade? You give me property, and I'll give you a clue.
It's absolutely true that people would have opportunities if they'd get off their rear ends and learn something useful. I'll give you 4 present-day examples:
The Seattle Times has called me no less than 4 times in the last 8 months because they're looking for a Sr. Network Engineer. I've no interest, I've already got a great job (2 if you count the company I own), my skillset is beyond what they need, the money doesn't match up for me etc.....but they have had this job open for EIGHT MONTHS. They keep calling me because they can't find anybody (In Seattle, mind you, a mecca for techies) to fill the role. A friend at Expedia keeps trying to poach me away, and he's had four positions open since June that he's been unable to fill (it was 6, but apparently he FINALLY found 2 people). Not all of them senior level. Indian Headhunters keep pestering me about a gig at T-Mobile since July. I field at least 1 headhunter call a week about that gig. It's only a couple of steps above entry level (which puts it so far below where I'm at, I wonder why they even call), but again, they can't fill it. And I field at least 2 calls a week about new AT&T openings, and have every week since about February.
These are jobs that have been open for a long time that the companies simply can't fill. These are all 80 (T-Mobile)-175Ka year jobs that have sat open for AGES because there's nobody to take them.
But yeah, there are no opportunities or jobs for those willing to get an education. Right.

Argument deflection fail.
Here's a hint: When your only counterargument is to try and shift the focus of the conversation to something else, kyou've already lost.

With all due respect, GAisGreat . . .
What do the "long-term unemployed" do to boost the economy?
