Millennials hit 30: It's the economy, not us (Obamas world)

Holy crap. As a baby boomer, I was on my own at 18, married at 21, and started my current career at 25.

[Cringing Negativism Network]

Between then and now, millions of good jobs were sent from American, to China.

Same jobs. Producing the same things. The same people are buying, the same stuff.

Except the jobs aren’t in America now. Now American workers don’t have jobs.

They’re in China. Bring back American jobs.

For the millennial I know it’s them. I’m sure there’s plenty it’s not, but the ones I know couldn’t find work in the Reagan economy because they wouldn’t look.

[Truth29]

A job and a marriage is so yesteryear. After all, in Obama’s America, you are married to the state and the state will pay you not to work and will feed you, as well. All praise to Obama...

I, too, was on my own at 18, and so were most of my friends. We had our own little apartments, jobs and cars. Now my friends’ kids are in their mid-20s to mid-40s and are still living at home. The few who aren’t living with their parents have several roommates. Not one roommate...but three to six roommates! Many of those still living at home are unemployed. Some have college degrees but either can’t find a job or they finally found a job at Starbucks after a long search and are grateful to have it.

This is very ominous, because young people are not going to be able to get married and have families because of this. And then what? Right now they’re living off the wealth of the Greatest Generation and Baby Boomers, and what happens when that’s gone?

The Conservatives need to campaign against the media. Newt Gingrich is good at this. Sarah Palin is good at this. It needs to become a universal trait. Propaganda is a very big deal in this country, and opposing someone like Obama is not such a big deal -- the emperor truly has no clothes. What makes the job hard, however, is that the emperor is protected by a bodyguard of lies comprised of the media sycophants. Those are the real enemies.

New media is what the Millennials use and the Conservatives need to focus there. Rachel Maddow and Chris Matthews need to become national jokes. Take the power from the purveyors of Propaganda and decentralize it amongst the young and connected. The truth will be harder to hide.

[James C. Bennett]

I know a millennial who’s about 30, making over $90,000, a year as an engineer at a large medical devices company, living in an apartment he can afford, but will not commit to marriage or a home.

[Cringing Negativism Network]

Americans really, really need to get with American jobs.

We have been exporting jobs for so very long, we no longer get, that is a way to eliminate our own nation from the lead.

America needs to bring back jobs. American jobs.

Stop buying everything from China.

[umgud]

How the hell are these kids going to support us boomers if they don’t get better jobs? The audacity of them.........

[Mr. K]

today’s crop of young 20’s are still out skateboarding until they have a full beard and beer belly

don’t they chase girls anymore at that age?

[jjotto]

They don’t have to. If they’re hetero, girls and older women chase them.

[SVTCobra03]

Can you please give it a rest?

[Coldwater Creek]

My two eldest granddaughters 27 and almost 30 are doing great. Both graduated college Summa, traveled the world. 30 yo has been married 7 years, her sister 6. Both are self employed, one an award winning wedding photographer, the other an artist who has showings at New York art galleries. Their younger sister (24) another Summa grad is a 4th grade teacher at an international school in Ghana. The Ambassador to the U,N. for Africa children are some of her students. I have four more all on the same path to be productive citizens from day one. Not having a lot of money can be a real blessing. No spoiled children!

Their problem: they were stupid and lazy enough to believe the Leftist propaganda.

If they don't wake up soon, they're going to have a lot more to complain about than this! Instead of living with Mom and Dad, they're going to be living in a Coast-to-Coast Detroit!

ADVICE TO "MILLENNIALS": Join the Tea Party. Go to their meetings and rallies. Shut-up and listen.

You do realize, that the USA is a net-importer of jobs? More jobs from foreign countries are brought into the US than are exported abroad.

[Cringing Negativism Network]

Excuse me, America is currently 17 trillion dollars in debt, and growing.

Millions of American jobs have been exported to China. America meanwhile, is facing budgetary problems, and even a shrinking military budget.

China runs a 300 billion a year, and growing surplus with America.

Now America doesn’t have enough jobs. All our stores are filled with goods made in communist China, and we are not even willing to discuss that perhaps, we did this to ourselves.

No. Sorry I will not shut up. Not while American jobs are being sent overseas.

America needs jobs.

Jobs.

[Cringing Negativism Network]

I say baloney on that claim.

You have some evidence to support it?

[Popman]

Holy crap. As a baby boomer, I was on my own at 18, married at 21, and started my current career at 25.

Same here...

Big difference is I didn't FEEL entitled to a job, a life, a career like many of these whiny crybabies do today...

I know "I" had to make my life, not wait on some other entity like mom or dad or uncle sugar daddy to grease the path for me...

At 22 I was married had two children worked a full time job and went to school three nights a week...

Ask most of these kids today to do that and you get this incredulous look like "are you insane" ...
