I don't see it that way.

She's been brainwashed into believing skies will always be blue and streets paved with gold in her world. There are 14 million unemployed. Do not tell me there are jobs waiting for all of them or even 10% of them.

I am sick of hard working job seekers being spat upon by those who haven't yet been ground under by Obama's plow. The unadulterated, uncharitable arrogance represented by that sign leaves me seething.

Being frugal and debt free is no substitution for employment. In this economy, savings have and will run out for many.

Those who forget the old adage, "there but for the grace of God, go I," should themselves some day face destitution.

You are full of crap. This young lady has been tought that you should not live beyond your means and always strive to better your self where possible.
Of those 14 million that are currently unemployed; how many of them had jobs that did not produce any thing of real value, you are aware that those are the jobs that are deleted first, are you not? How many of those 14 million priced them-selves out of a job and were replaced by a device that could do the job cheaper, more efficiently and did not take personal time off 3 days a week. How many of those 14 million have absolutely useless degrees in Theater Arts, Ethnic Studies, Women's Studies and the list goes on adnauseam.
Don't tell me these people can't get a job, you just have to train your self for a job that people need done.
Carpenter, Electrician, Plumber, Pipe Fitter, Concrete Mason , Brick Mason, Machinist, HVAC Mechanic, Locksmith, Glazier, Iron Worker, Irrigation Designer / Installer.
I came out of the trades and I could go on like this page after page, not even including the Engineers for design and specification and the Architects that have to put things together.
What your telling me is these people don't want to work at any thing that actually requires work to be done to certain specifications, they just want to do what feels good to them.
If you have even associate degree now days you can get a job, but it has to be a degree in some thing that people need to have done competently. There are employers crying to get good knowledgeable people into shops that work every day, but they are expected to actually work.
It is way past time these kids stopped taking the politically correct and easiest courses just to get a degree and then expect to get hired at 80K a year and a company car for personal use.
GET A REAL SKILL and GET A REAL JOB.
