Papantonio: Generation Recession - PT. 1/2

If youre wondering why voters under the age of 30 tend to vote by a margin of 2 to 1 for Democrats over Republicans, it might have something to do with the fact that they are hurting more during this recession than the baby boomers. Not only are they having to fight the boomers for entry-level jobs, but theyve been hit with higher college tuitions and student loan debt than any generation before them. But these young voters saw hope in Obama, and thought that they might finally get an ally in the White House who would help the country pull itself out of a recession. Mike Papantonio talks about this generational gap in America with investigative journalist Lizzy Ratner.

Dear Pap, You've got to talk about this: We're Outsourcing Food Stamp Jobs To India. Not only are they outsourcing these easy US jobs, but JPMorgan owns the call centers and is getting all the sensitive info on what desperate people own and how they are paying for what they have and what will undoubtedly be sold for pennies on the dollar from people struggling. This is sick. Good article at consumeristDOTcom/5232809/were­-outsourcing-food-stamp-jobs-t­o-india.
