More Americans need to return to work." As an unemployed 50+ who was laid off 1 1/2 years ago, I can tell you that jobs are less out there for older workers. I have been to jobs where there was no one over the age of 32 and they were not happy seeing me (an older person). One lady I met recently said she got let go at a temp job but she wasn't alone. Everyone over 30 was let go and everyone under 30 was kept - regardless of how they did their job. Corporations in the 2000's admited that, for every 5 chinses or those in india that were lifted out of poverty, 1 american would be put into poverty. It's a side-effect of globalization and the realization that there isn't enough wealth for everyone. Between homeless on the streets or government dependency, I'll go with government since corporations has declared this war against me.

I applaud you for clearly following a blog which generally goes against your views, and I encourage that whether anyone is left or right oriented. This forum is here to debate and please bring different viewpoints to the table, debating is part of learning and understanding these things.

They could have repealed the Bush tax cuts and there would have been nothing that the Republicans could have done about it. What did they do? Nothing. What's more, they've recently agreed to make 90+ percent of those cuts permanent with the result that the government will take in near record revenue this year despite a weak economy.<br /><br />As for entitlements, not only did they not reform entitlements, they added a widely unpopular and grossly expensive one -- Obamacare. This monstrosity has and will make healthcare more expensive and our fiscal situation much worse.<br /><br />Time to wake up.<br />Che is deadhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04988202144185675100noreply@blogger.com
