Progressive Ideology : Youth Uneducated And Listless

Welcome to the real world of the progressive socialist Democrats : Life is more then just have to find a job and being responsible, it's really just about feeling good about yourself, living the good life while others toil.

And it's not just that there aren't some jobs to be had for all of these young people to get their foot in the door of self sufficiency, it's living the education that has been forced on them from grade one of the public educational system, to being a stay at home teenager out of school.

They have been taught, and they understand, for the most part, life is bigger than just earning a living, supporting the capitalist slave owners, it's about the community and how one can achiever self esteem by being part of social groups that focus on helping others, rather then being personally degraded in the work force where lesser individuals are demanding results from your labors.

Maybe it even larger then this, maybe they just don't see the worth of having pride in a job well done. Of course it doesn't help that our government has seen fit to force more then 24 million adults out of work with an economy that leaves little hope for future prosperity.

"Hope and Change" that was promised by Mr Obama was a lie - he never intended to provide a future for anyone, this was just a tool to compromise everyone's integrity, leaving them floundering,  bewildered and easy targets for "fundamental" transformation. And when they re old enough, voters for more of the same.

Nearly 6 Million U.S. Youth out of School, Work

Almost 6 million young people are neither in school nor working, according to a new study. That's almost 15 percent of those aged 16 to 24 who have neither desk nor job, according to The Opportunity Nation coalition, which wrote the report, says the Associated Press.

Other studies have shown that idle young adults are missing out on a window to build skills they will need later in life or use the knowledge they acquired in college. Without those experiences, they are less likely to command higher salaries and more likely to be an economic drain on their communities.

• The coalition also finds that 49 states have seen an increase in the number of families living in poverty and 45 states have seen household median incomes fall in the last year.
• The dour report underscores the challenges young adults face now and foretell challenges they are likely to face as they get older.
• A young person's community is often closely tied to his or her success.
• The Opportunity Nation report tracked 16 factors -- Internet access, college graduation rates, income inequality and public safety among them -- and identified states that were doing well for its young people.
• Topping the list of supportive states are Vermont, Minnesota and North Dakota.
• At the bottom? Nevada, Mississippi and New Mexico.

"Their destiny is too often determined by their ZIP code," says Charlie Mangiardi, who works with Year Up, a nonprofit that trains young adults for careers and helps them find jobs.
Just look at some of the nation's largest cities.

• Chicago, Houston, Dallas, Miami, Philadelphia, New York, Los Angeles, Atlanta and Riverside, Calif., all have more than 100,000 idle youth, the Opportunity Nation report found.
• In Mississippi and West Virginia, 1 in 5 young people are idle -- higher than their older neighbors.
• Mississippi has an overall unemployment rate of 8 percent, while West Virginia posts about 7 percent.
