Lag in memory? You think this took place in one year- 2009? Hmmm, what about the 8 years prior, in particular 2000, when the government started with a balanced budget; the start of a war with no exit plan; and the mindset to sabotage anything our current President wants to do to correct our situtation, because the outlook since day one he took office was 2012. Face it, We don't matter when it comes to greed. Let's be fair when pointing the finger!

Many jobs arn't going anywhere, just the employee is being turned from a taxpayer to a dependent. It's called insourcing. The employer hires a contractor who hires illegal aliens to do the work, and the employer fires his employees and pays one lesser bill for his labor. I can simpathise with some employers who rationalize the move by saying, "most of my competition did this years ago and it is the only way I can stay competitive." The IRS, Labor Departments, and INS are in a coma and have been for thirty years, ever since Carter put them to sleep in 79. It has brought the middle class to it's knees, but the joke is over. In 2013, when Barak Obama is writing his memoirs, he can say he was part of the Capitolist Oligark movement that brought down the U. S. with eyes wide open. I don't believe in race at all any more because I now understand that anyone can be a self serving minion of Wall Street. Obama sure had us fooled.

If you calculate unemployment the way it was prior to the military being added into those roles and the way it was calculated in 1984 you now have unemployment in the high 20% range. Figures don't lie but liars figure. Since when do those who are no longer collecting Unemployment benefits because they fell off the far end cease to exist? Do we just role that number into the welfare roles? Is that acceptable?
If you remove the bottom 15% and the top 25% of the population in the U.S. because they are too old or too young to work. That is an increasingly smaller pool of people on which the government is collecting revenue to pay for welfare and the now 45-60,000 Haitians that will be absorbed into the system in the coming month. Let alone the illegals that the democrats want to grant amnesty to who have taken jobs already in The United States of America.
On top of this Obama and the democrats want to raise taxes... ooy!

Droves of people of all ages and backgrounds have flooded my local area schools and training centers. Great--just one problem however: not enough positions avaiable for the graduating students!
The best prospect is if you already have experience!!
How do gain experience if you can't get hired??
