If tax cuts create jobs, then WHY am I still looking for a full-time job?

[UrbScotty]

Yesterday I learned that yet ANOTHER position I wanted was filled. I didn't even get an interview.

That's despite the fact that I had a connection with someone in the organization.

I have an internship, plenty of leadership experience, and a lot of skills and experience in nonprofits, advocacy, and communications.

Taxes are as low as they have been since forever.

Put all that together, and you'd think I would be working full-time now.

It's been more than 15 months since I graduated from college.

So Boehner - where are the JOBS?

Oh that's right - you got to keep focusing on non-issues such as where the President was born, when everyone with a brain knows where he was born.

:mad:

1. It's Obama's fault somehow. Bet on it. Hang in there! Your day will come! nt

[UrbScotty]

4. I, too, believe my time will come.

The uncertainty is what frustrates me.

10. I don't blame Obama for the jobs situation...

That's been at least 30+ years in the making. Free trade agreements, outsourcing, deregulation, H1B visas, etc. He inherited the worst possible situation when it came to jobs.

Now if we could just get some of these professional hoarders (job creators) to shake lose with some of their ill-gotten gains maybe we could create some decent jobs for young people.

2. RWers would say it is because you aren't trying hard enough. FDLers would say it is because Obama

hates you.



I say... keep plugging away. It *WILL* get better.

6. I was just wondering about the hypocrisy of those who accuse the unemployed

of being lazy because we supposedly don't want to find work, even though there are enough jobs.

Then these same right-wingers say Obama is at fault because he's not doing enough to create jobs.

Either there are enough jobs, or there aren't enough jobs!

Thanks for the well-wishes!

3. If you were only willing to pick fruit in Texas...

you could pull yourself up by your bootstraps and someday be president of Chiquita Banana!

Sorry, I do sympathize, having taken a very long time to find my first full time job. It is totally demoralizing.

7. I doubt that many right-wingers know much about pulling themselves up from their bootstraps!

I remember when Howard Dean (when he was DNC Chair) was criticized for saying many Republicans hadn't worked a day in their lives.

But there is at least some truth to what he said!

5. Have been waiting 31 years for all that trickle down to start.

from what the Gyper said, we should all be millionaires by now.

8. Same here! (nt)
