Is this such a big deal? 300 years ago, the average age was 30 odd, so people got married in their teens. As lifespans increased, more time was needed for education, etc, so in the 20th century this was pushed back to the 20s. Why is it a surprise that, with lifespans increasing now and education open to all, that folks are marrying later, etc?

You should be more concerned about twenty years ago than three hundred. Twenty years ago a high school drop out could get a job in construction, trucking, or manufacturing, and still do pretty well for himself. Well enough to own a car and afford some type of housing, by the age of twenty.

One by one these jobs have been outsourced, or filled by a wage suppressing immigrant, lowering the expectation and living standard of many Americans. Such is not suppose to be the case. In raising the boat of third world nations we have sunk the boats of many average Americans. Meanwhile those that stick it out through college are finding their jobs outsourced and their options limited.

Why do you think so many people my age are enraged, we know what has happened, we know America is being stripmined, and youth who has never known anything else, raised in the fed propaganda camps, have no clue of how badly they have been robbed.
