It's also increasingly clear that today's college grads won't accept "just any job." It has to be their calling, don't you know. It has to be fulfilling. It has to have a certain level of dignity, befitting their station. One suspects that someone with his credentials could get a job, just not the perfect job, the dream job. It might be something "below" him.

But now we make sure no one has to sink to the shameful level of doing a job that isn't one's preferred job. Indeed, we have to maintain them in the style to which they have become accustomed.

Welfare changes people, it really does. I'll never forget when one of my former best friends went on welfare. Her attitude gradually went from "I just want a job, any job," to "I'm not driving 20 miles each way. I'm not giving up my benefits for something that pays less than my previous job. I've got six more months of benefits coming, I'm not doing this, or that, or ..."

I think it's the economic collapse brought about by Obama's mindless and very unscientific attitude toward the coal industry.

He and his supporters are so stupid they think George Bush did it ~ but he didn't. Things turned to cr*p the day he told that editorial board in San Francisco he was going to shut down coal.

We'll look back at this guy and feel sick. Hey, I feel sick about him now.

Today's college graduates are caught in the maw of the collapse.

It's as if you've been reading my son's Facebook posts.

"I don't want just any job. I want a job with ...". "Shut up, dumbass. You want a job with pay."
