I don't think our economy can ever really be healthy again given the debt we've racked up. And we will never handle our atrocious debt until we address our corrupt monetary system. At the heart of this is the Federal Reserve. Watch this and pass it on. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=c5Yf3FCZ5FY There is a reaon our economy is so horrible.

Moved to a new state and am now living with my boyfriend who should not and cannot continue to have to pay everything because i just plain can't get a job. I'm over qualified for retail survivor jobs... so I lie on my application. But then retail stores just plain don't hire full time. So even if I could get a job as a cashier someplace... I'd only work enough hours to maybe pay for my car payment/ car insurrance/ gas.... and my half of rent/electric and such is out of the question... not to mention charged to the limit credit cards from being unemployed and student loans that will hit in just a matter of months. Any other jobs either don't exist or they just ALL want 5 years professional experience.... which is impossible for someone who just graduated and has been working part time retail jobs since high school. AND internships are unpaid or only for college students so thats out of the question.... But the fact of the matter is that jobs don't care about education in the least bit if you don't have the real professional work experience to back it up.

I shudder to think of what it will be for the 2010 grads based on the pathetic jobs report that came out on Friday. If I were in their shoes, I'd look for a job abroad. My company http://www.pathtoasia.com, helps Americans move to Asia. Check us out and receive a free consultation. The unemployment rate for recent college grads (2009) is about 25%.

FRankley I do no see much employment opprotunities available right now. The counsoulers at my high school always told us to get in to the "Med-ED" professions because that was where all the jobs are currently being made. But with this healthcare bill being passed I forsee the collapse of our hospital industry which means no medical jobs for college graduates. The same goes for education, most teachers quit within the first year of employment and with the ever growing number of high school drop outs and illiterate students there just does not seem that much of a lucrative buisness. The same goes for engineering and software employment. Because of the large abundance of Chinese and Indian labor tech firms and aircraft enginnering companies would rather hire these foreign students becuase they have a better work ethic and they have no liabilities unlike the American graduates. These guys will work harder for less money and their presecence impedes American students from gainig employment status. As for myself, I am not sure what to go to college for any way. My funds are nearly depleted and my father wants me to take out student loans to continue my education. I constantly argue with him becasue I know that the student loan industry is just another big bank scheme such as credit cards and home loans. I told him I might as well take out a loan on a $300,000 house and max out three or four credit cards rather than take out student loans. I will benefit in the long run if I do not take student loans. There are several reasons why tutition is skyrocketing. First is the growing demand for limited space in the colleges. Thousands of people are applying to colleges in an attempt to keep up with the jones and any one from high school graduates to middle aged people and retirees are joining in record numbers. Secondly, you take a local or state university and they have to have all kinds of bells and whistles in regards to sports. They have to have huge stadiums and tracks and what not. This stuff costs money, both for the college and the sponsors who charge the university. The bills for this stuff are then redistributed towards the students in higher tuition bills.

It becomes even more bleak when you consider student loan debt. It's one thing to graduate and lack the ability to find work. It is an entirely more malicious prospect when you add $30 - 40,000 in debt into the equation. The government estimates that the average graduate leaves university with $20,000 owed, from experience (myself and friends) it is much higher. The problem is that institutions of higher learning do not have any incentive whatsoever in lowering tuition. Why? Because if they raise it, students will simply take out more loans to cover the difference. What we have in higher education is eerily similar to what occurred in the housing market: loose lending standards and too much access to easy money. You want the cost of higher education to go down, tighten lending practices. This may sound hypocritical coming from someone who funded their secondary education via these practices, but inevitably it is the only way to force colleges to bring their tuition rates in line with reality.

Thanks to years of all right and some left politicians letting the greedy corporations ship all the good jobs overseas this is what we are left with. All so a bunch of greedy CEO's can get a bigger bonus. There is now a small number of "haves" and a huge number of "have nots". Socialism is the answer, capitalism is the problem.

What? He didn't? That's right, he refinanced with 10 year bonds to get his bogus surplus.

I told her that this generation of babies that were being slaughtered at will would rise up and demand that she be terminated. That prophecy was years before our current financial implosion and long before Obamacare. Now we see in today’s news that Obama has appointed Dr. Donald Berwick, an outspoken admirer of the British National Health Service and its rationing arm, the National Institute for Clinical Effectiveness (NICE). We are rapidly approaching the day that my generation is going to be killed. The law of sowing and reaping is God’s law and my wicked baby boomer generation has done a lot of sowing!
