Sacramento Bee ^ | April 25, 2014 | By Phillip Reese

Brian Alunan has nothing to show for the 150 applications he has submitted to Sacramento area employers over the last few months. No bites, no interviews, no job.

Alunan is 29, and lives with his parents. His work history is spotty. His unemployment benefits have ended. The bank is about to take his car.

If every generation is supposed to be better off financially than the one that proceeded it, Sacramento “millennials” have a lot of catching up to do.

Several experts said the economy is the primary culprit. Many millennials graduated from high school or college during the Great Recession and had trouble finding work. Others were just getting started as professionals and were the first laid off during the economic downturn.

Young people should be scooped up and embraced by our side.

Even if they acted dumb.

This is an OPPORTUNITY.

Satanic, narcissistic, and existential culture...

All about the pleasures of the moment.

I fear for young and ambitious kids. They are going to have it tough. Any more, being rich and ambitious is detested and Obamacare is going to kill them financially.

A person can't afford a house when that person is forced to buy a crappy $15,000 healthcare plan. I'd opt out and pay the fine.

And Democrats have a lot of other oppressive taxes planned, ie a carbon tax. I can only get worse.

Very unfair to Hoover. Hoover was a self-made millionaire and a great humanitarian who organized relief efforts to save millions of Europeans from starvation following two world wars.

BO is an incurable narcissistic adolescent adept only at organizing false worship for himself.

BO isn't worthy to empty Hoover's chamber pot.

He can’t get a job at a grocery store temporarily to pay his car payment?

Obama isn’t worthy of shining Hoover’s shoes.

I don’t have any compassion for any Obama voter who’s out of a job. None.
