An 18 year old who supports Obama? That's like a pig voting to put the butcher in control of his future. If Obama has his way, an 18-year-old American will live in a declining, once great nation, without the same opportunities his parents and grandparents had.
Obama is on pace to add more debt than every other President combined and you know who's going to really pay the price for that one day? The kids just entering college and the work force now. Obama's working hard to create a substandard medical system -- and he's killing jobs. Just look at these numbers...
The number of young Americans without a job has exploded to 53.4 percent — a post-World War II high, according to the Labor Dept. — meaning millions of Americans are staring at the likelihood that their lifetime earning potential will be diminished and, combined with the predicted slow economic recovery, their transition into productive members of society could be put on hold for an extended period of time.
The number represents the flip-side to the Labor Dept.'s report that the employment rate of 16-to-24 year olds has eroded to 46.6 percent -- the lowest ratio of working young Americans in that age group, including all but those in the military, since WWII.
And worse, without a clear economic recovery plan aimed at creating entry-level jobs, the odds of many of these young adults -- aged 16 to 24, excluding students -- getting a job and moving out of their parents' houses are long. Young workers have been among the hardest hit during the current recession -- in which a total of 6.9 million jobs have been lost.
