How else would you interpret the results here? If it were Boomers that were losing their jobs and getting laid off, we’d be hearing no end to the hue and cry.
Instead it’s happening to folks like me. Yes, I think it’s great that you were able to work for 22 years. I’d love to have the same opportunities as you did, but the stark numbers here show that for many, many of us, this is not going to be possible.
I’ve worked all my life - never took a dime of unemployment benefits, or been on welfare. I’ve had to accept a lower standard of living compared with the folks who do, because I’ve been let go and the only available jobs are part time.
And, I voted for McCain too. I’m not going to vote for Romney. Romney has an opportunity to actually do something to fix the system, but, he just doesn’t care. I thought that by voting for McCain, that it would actually accomplish something - it did, it just ensured that a RINO got elected.
I’ll be supporting Virgil Goode - a pox on both of their houses.
