Obamanomics: Only 55% of Americans Between Ages of 16 And 29 Have Jobs…
The economic train wreck rolls on.
(CNN) — In 2008, the youth vote helped sweep Barack Obama into office. Americans 18-29 spread the word on social media, energized fundraising and went to the polls.
In 2012, the youth vote is moving on and throwing those omnipresent “Hope” bumper stickers and t-shirts in garbage bins.
Not because of apathy. Not because another candidate generates more enthusiasm. Not because of his character. Not because they think voting is pointless. The 18-29 vote is up for grabs in 2012 because youth can’t afford cars to put bumper stickers on and those t-shirts are worn out from too many days sitting on the couch unemployed.
The sobering reality: just 55.3 percent of Americans between 16 and 29 have jobs. And earlier this year, Americans’ student loan debt surpassed credit card debt for the first time ever.
Rather than develop a lasting initiative to help young unemployed Americans, the President launched “Greater Together” — a campaign tool that offers community forums rather than jobs. Rather than provide a bailout to those crushed by the burden of educational loans, his student debt relief program was pathetic — only reducing interest rates by a measly 0.5 percent.

But most of them will be able to leech off Mom and Dad for their medical insurance, thanks to Obamacare!
So Mom and Dad’s medical insurance payments will take care of that nasty case of Zucotti Lung.
Yeah, kind of tuff out there when all you have to offer is a degree in Wimmins Studies with a minor in Af-Am Queer Lit.
Cradle-to-Grave Agenda from the O-Team…they’ve wanted this from Day One, they achieved their goal.
…at our expense.
Yup, this is the demographic they troll for OWS participants. Wonder what the going rate is.
Hey, we should be thankin’ him! After all Chicago Jesus pulled us back from the brink, among other miracles. Just ask him, he’ll tell ya!
Barry causes the disaster.
Barry blames the disaster on the “rich people”.
Barry causes a Class War / Race War / Civil War.
Barry smiles.
Barry is dragged thru the streets Mussolini style

The reason they don’t have jobs is because that generation, for the most part, suck hard. Obama has nothing to do with it. 45% can still find jobs, how about getting off facebook and twitter and write a friggin’ resume?
Who would want to hire most of them anyways, given the poor choices they have made in the voting booth.
Choo Choo!
And if the train rolls into anther term all of these unemployed youth will be placed in Federal Job Programs AKA Labor Camps.
Hitler built the Autobaun and many died during that great work program.
I predict if he gets another term, he will institute some type of program under the guise of getting Americans back to work. Then he will continue to drain what is left of the treasury.
That’s what happens when you spend your college days getting social engineering horseshit degrees and thinking you’re entitled to a 6 figure salary right out of school.
Look for O’Blamey bumper stickers on crack rentals.
I’d like to see the statistics by Race.
The Black youth employment must be “Depression Era” high, or worse.

as long as mom and dad are still there to fall back on it’s obozo all the way. after all, it’s “racist” not to vote for him.
Hey Obama, if you raise the minimum wage, you can increase the number out of work. I’m sure you will think that’s a plus.
THE WORST PRESIDENT IN AMERICAN HISTORY -
Obama can keep his stupid change its totaly worthless
But don’t worry young ‘uns, the next Keynesian policy will work reeeeeeeel good!
It’s not only Zero, but the likes of John Boehner and Mitch McConnell who’ve enabled this every step of the way. There job is to make sure this doesn’t happen, not get along with him, and help him do it.
Looks like I retired just in time… Hate to be lookin’ for work at 72!
Today’s young people have little to look forward to except for hard times.
Time for bold positive action beginning with getting spending under control…
The other 45% are looting the Food King.
Listen to the call on the INCA DOVE which says NO HOPE,NO HOPE,NO HOPE
