So please clarify something for us.
You say that “if a person is willing to work they will find a job.” Now, there are about fifteen million people out of work in this country, but only one million jobs open at any time. Even assuming that half the people who are out of work are lazy bastards who won’t try hard to get a job, I’d be fascinated to know how you shoehorn the seven-and-a-half million non-lazy unemployed people into the one million available jobs. How do you figure that? How can “a person [who] is willing to work” find a job when there are six to 15 times more unemployed people than there are jobs? The math doesn’t add up, John.
I’d honestly love to have this explained.

Easy to explain.
A person just has to be willing to work harder or smarter than others. I do not know of anybody who is willing to work hard and smart that stays unemployed for any length of time.
My son just graduated as a teacher. There are hundreds of teachers who were RIFTed last year, about 100 in his class, but he still had two principals trying to get him to work for them. Then again, he was willing to do what it took to get a job.
