“Things are looking up a bit.” Wishful thinking. Wanting it to be true doesn’t make it so. The author of this article desperately wants everyone to think that the ordeal is over, and now they can safely vote for the One.

Lack of opportunity, particularly for White males past 55, started before 0bama, so he shouldn’t get all the blame. However, his policies are a continuation of the policies that got us into this mess in the first place, so he gets some of the blame.

RE: Lack of opportunity, particularly for White males past 55, started before 0bama,

Let’s not blame Obama for this. AGEISM is rampant in America. If you’re 55 and over, better pray that you don’t get laid off or your skill sets are in demand.

However, this article is about recent college grads ( where over half can’t find decent jobs and as a result, they have to go back and live with mom and dad ). I can just imagine those kids who have college debts...

Dirty little secret is....main reason companies (particularly small business) are reluctant to hire gray hairs is that just a couple of them on the payroll in a small company can send the group health plan rates rocketing off into the stratosphere.

Granted Obamacare did nothing to address this.
