  • Detroit, NY, Louisiana, unemployment is no joke. We can no longer sit back and wait for the system to do for us what we have been used to for centuries. We must become out of the box thinkers and create our own income streams. Times have changed dramatically in the last 10 years. Change with it or get left behind.

  • This is why we should buy only American made cars and products.

    So true. It used to be if you had a bachelors degree then you had a job. Today it just means you have $30,000 in student loans.

    And the only result from the No Worker Left Behind job retraining program is that they will have an educated unemployed population. There are no jobs. And by job I mean a position that offers benefits and pays a wage you can support a family on.

    sounds like you get it......it's a planned culling of the sheep.

  • @bradz123456 I agree. I have a BA degree and being "educated" is no guarantee that you will get a job. Don't listen to that bullshit that having a degree increases pay or results in a better job. You get a BA than they want an MA, you get an MA and you need a PHD, you get PHD and you're in debt. Having a degree is great but it doesn't equal a job.

  • @fortsmith1 Most of the "foreign" cars are more American than the so-called "American" cars!!! Thank Roger Smith for outsourcing.

  • @Allmyd1 Most of the "foreign" cars are more American than the so-called "American" cars!!!
