Let's set aside those who didn't have opportunities or lacked the capacity for more due to health or other reasons.
I know college educated people, in technical fields not 'the arts', who are in low paying jobs or looking for low paying jobs just to have an income.
One was illegally fired due to age; he was an electrical engineer in a supervisory role and now listens to headhunters say, "I believe my client is looking for someone younger."
Another is young, fresh from his education but hasn't field experience yet thanks to the Obama economy.
Another became a full-time caregiver when his family needed him.
Yes! It's all their fault. They deserve to suffer, to lose their homes, to eat off the street like stray dogs. Maybe the evil, inhumane conservative stereotype the Democrats put out really does exist in the flesh.
To those "I got mine" Freepers who troll topics playing the blame game on Americans who have been forced to turn to assistance programs, can't find work, are underemployed or have been wiped out by the economic meltdown I say, "HIRE!"
And, surprise, surprise, not a single one of them steps up.
Deserve to suffer? No, I didn’t say that. I don’t wish suffering on anyone. But did they make their bed? Yes, they did, and now they lie in it. Can’t get hired? Hustle and open a business. I have a five year degree in architecture. It proved to be useless. My firm collapsed when everyone stopped building. I hustled, bought a food truck, and now own three restaurants. I could be working some lowly job and complaining about obama, like many people do. Obama sucks, but we have had bad and great Presidents in the past, but hustle knows no political affiliation. People got rich under Reagan, and some even got rich under carter. I got rich under Bush and obama, and I give neither of them an ounce of credit.
