I heard a statistic this morning that really gives me concern :
that "96% of black high school drop-outs are unemployed".
I wonder what they will do for income ? /s

It's so simple only a Democrat could fail to see it.
Remove all recent government created impediments and costs of running a business and businesses will start growing.

Is this the reason the DOW is up 100 points at this moment?

It seems what’s good is bad, and what’s bad is good, last week Syria drove the market down a little, this week although nothing changed, the market is up.

I know there is a lot more to it than that, but remember when the market went up on good news and down on bad, you could count on it.

Lying Media Propagandist Scum: Yeah, but just think how bad it would really be if Sparky the Wonder Prez wasn't "focusing like a laser beam" on the problem. We'd really be in trouble then.

The reelection of Barack Obama was a clear indication of where this puppy is going. The Productive Members of society know who’s going to have to pay and pay and pay....

I’ve never understood how any kid could think it wise to drop out of high school.

And those statistics for graduation rates don't include the "Dumbing Down " of the American educational system.

Pearls Before Swine ~:" Welfare, if they’re too lazy to steal."

Or Drug sales , burglary, and other 'property crimes'.
With all the time on their hands , there will be more opportunity to procreate.
Already there are states that are reducing prison population, by Federal mandate, due to overcrowding.
The future , to say the least , is bleak !

Exhibit A: those chilling speeches where he admonished his peeps to "vote their revenge".

OBAMA FOCUS ON JOBS:

November 2009: “This is my administration’s overriding focus.”

January 2010: “We are going to have a sustained and relentless focus over the next several months on accelerating the pace of job creation, because that’s priority No. 1.”

September 2010: “Our No. 1 focus has to be jobs, jobs, jobs.”

December 2010: “My singular focus over the next two years is ... jump-starting the economy so that we actually start making a dent in the unemployment rate.”

January 2011: “My principal focus, my No. 1 focus, is going be making sure that we are ... creating jobs not just now but well into the future.”

November 2011: “The president is focused like a laser on passing the American Jobs Act, on making sure we put people back to work.” (Debbie Washerwoman-Shultz)

November 2012: “Our top priority has to be jobs and growth.”

February 2013: “Our first priority is making America a magnet for new jobs and manufacturing.”
