>>One wage earner supporting a family with a middle class lifestyle? That disappearred about 40 years ago. Thanks Nanny State.<<
I have no problem with it — my wife has never had to work a day in almost 20 years (and my ex-wife the same).
Maybe you chose your profession or avocation badly. We are importing H-1Bs left and right for engineering and IT jobs left and right. And NOT because of the lower wages they theoretically get. It is because we don’t have Americans with the right skill set(s). Just for the heck of it, I did a job search for my skill set (IT management for large ERP implementations) and came up with hundreds of possible jobs in about 5 minutes.
And I had some student debt which I paid off as promised. It isn’t the same as people today spending $200K for Graduate degrees in Ethnic Womyn’s Studies (I am not accusing you of that).
But if you do succeed in getting the Nanny State to pay off your student debts, remember to make it retroactive to the mid-1970s.
ps: The Gummint doesn’t CREATE jobs. It just interferes with job creation, Gen X and Millenials voted barry the zero in, they can live with the results.
Gen X’ers voted Reagan in. Your beef is with the Millennials.
Most Gen X’ers were not taken in by Barry’s “shuckin’ and jivin’”. Unfortunately, it looks like the Republicans may just snatch defeat from the jaws of victory.
