Unemployable At 50 Fate Of Present And Future Workers

136. But people are waking up.

Data from newly registered voters between the ages of 18 and 24 here in California show that six percent are going Green Party, while an additional 21% decline to state.

I have had friends ask me why I am so disgusted by people at the top in the Democratic Party. The people that are "Democratic Party leaders." Until a person is threatened with losing their job, or they get behind enough in their mortgage situation, they believe the headlines - about all the great things the Democrats are currently done for the middle class.
They don't get it - that our jobs are outsourced under both Dems and Republicans.

Eighty percent of what any presidential administration gets done involves the appointments. Although it is a very popular meme that what is going wrong in this country has to do with the Republicans, I keep asking people, So please NAME for me the Republicans who forced Obama to put Geithner into his spot at Treasury. Or who twisted O's arm so he had to re-appoint Bernanke. Just name the Republicans who forced President Obama to appoint Mike Taylor to FDA, and give Monsanto's famine foods full steam ahead approval. And who is it that twisted Obama's arm so he had to appoint Valsick to the top spot in the Agricultural Department? I have been asking these questions since late November 2008 - and so far, no one I know has named a single Republican!

I do notice that the moment that someone I know gets laid off, and they soon have time to investigate things, not just reading the headlines, but really spending time investigating. And within six months of poking around on the internet, they come to the same conclusion that I came to five years ago. That the Political Class doesn't care - and the only way to make them care is to start really considering things outside of the box.
