Instead of asking why Congress has not funded the extension, perhaps the question the idiots in the media should ask is why there is such a serious lack of jobs in this country.

Of course, that wouldn't be politically expedient for the left.

As far as “lowering ones sight” try getting a menial job out here. For every one position open, there are thousands applying.

If you have an advanced degree in engineering, you are competing against others with even more experience, AND the added fillip of H1B visa candidates shoveled into the country and working for much much less. In fact, so much less, they can live five together in order to make ends meet.

It is always more comfortable to comment from a position of relative comfort and security on the failings of others actually experiencing the hell out here on the jobs front.

Spot on post.

I have applied to some companies just to see if I could get into a “safety” job. I have started my Master’s yet I applied for jobs at local grocery stores just to see if I could get in. Never got a call for even an interview.

Anyone who thinks people are just sitting on their ass hasn’t a clue. Some may be. But the vast majority are not.
