Look at this chart above that displays the Unemployment Rate from the years 1929 to 1941 (12 years) timeframe.
I am using this chart because as members of both political parties state "...this is the worst economic period since the Great Depression..."
I stand with President Barack Obama and I will cast my vote with him this election year.
What I cant stand with is my generation. Wake up and realize that life is not instant like your internet, delivered in 30 minutes or less like your pizza, and most importantly not given to you on a silver platter because of what mommy and daddy did for you.
After the crash of '29, it took 12 years and the war efforts / production during World War Two, in order to return to near 1% unemployment just before Black Thursday. Eight years of financial mismanagement will not be fixed overnight, in one month, or one presidential term. It takes time to correct the economy...and time I will support and believe in when I vote to re-elect my Commander in Chief.
How do you expect to see financial recovery when as of recent on major news networks, people have "given up" looking for work. Garbage! We as a society have an "undeserved sense of accomplishment" and simply think that we are above entry-level employment post receiving your College Degree and would rather not hold any title less than "supervisor."
Your Part:
Stop the whining and lose this "pop-culture thug attitude rendering this false idea that you are a badass" and have some humility, patience, and believe in the results that just one person can render.
Put your phone down at work and maybe have a productive day for once so that your efforts get recognized. Accept that entry level work is better than no work at all, take pride in that. Dont lose faith in our democratic leaders.
God willing, we may never forget our time in history, when we decided to act outside of our comfort zone and make a difference before it was too late.
