58. This is the reason why you are going to find that a lot of children are
going to come back and fuck these assholes hard... When I was growing up, my parents had a job and the benefits were there. It didn't even cost us co-pays to go to the docs.. somewhere closer towards highschool.. that changed. I worked my ass off.. 40hrs a week and went full time to college, maintained an apartment, and did what I was supposed to. Then the real world hit... no benefits, sucky pay, college loan debt (still paying), and adults telling me to wait my turn.. Well, this was 10yrs ago.. college tuition is thru the roof along with everything else. We don't have a chance. We ask our parents, who are burdened by their older parents, for things like glasses and dental visits as gifts... Its only getting worse every year. I'm glad to know its hitting those who have had their jobs, benefits, and the "pay comes with time and experience" crowd because nothing is sacred.

I graduated the same year asshat took office.. In this short time he has managed to piss off everyone and put a lot of families on the teetering brink of collapse. A few more jobs and a few more homes may just bring everyone to his door.. but then it will be 08 and the dem candidate will feel the full brunt of the housing collapse and be dealing with the war and recession at the same time. That person better be able to take on a New Green Deal to open up jobs, create universal healthcare, do something about the horrible trade agreements, and slam the door on the Feds...
