I Work 2 jobs just to stay ahead!! I really thought the GOP had it this tone but I guess I didn't realize how many free loaders there was. In all honesty though, I'm kinda glad Obama won, and I'll tell you why. His second term is going to leave this country in such a mess that it will probably put the democrats out of the white house for a LONG time! After they get done ruining this country we the people will have to fix it, and it won't be with democrats in power!

The GOP really needs to wake up and either continue to embrace being religious nut jobs or try to minimize that image. I know a ton of guys my age that were very put of by comments made by GOP people over rape, and birth control. This is not the 1940s where everyone is religious, and while I did vote GOP, I am very upset by how much they brought religion into this race.

Religon is fine, but separation of church and state is paramount.

I'm 23, voted twice for President and the guy I've voted for hasn't won yet.

People my age are looking for handouts, it really is sad. I stopped going to community college and decided to start working instead for out family construction business because we weren't doing so well. Don't regret it but maybe someday I can go back but right now all of my friends are graduating and hugely in debt with no job offers. Or they just had mommy and daddy pay for everything they ever needed and are fine with sitting around. Most people I know graduate purely to graduate with whatever they have to most credits for and its pathetic.

When the country is completely broke and handouts stop some people are really in for a surprise.

Moat of the young people didn't have parents that expect responsibility. The best thing that I could ever so for my son was to teach him how to work. Now is has one degree, a full time job and working on his business degree. He doesn't think like most young people either.

Good to hear that there is some faith in the younger crowd but even that age group can and does see what im saying. People need to wake up there is no free lunch!

I couldn't agree with you more. They said Obama had a majority of the female vote over Romney, and I am betting that some of it had to do with his rape and birth control comments. Had those topics not been at hand, Romeny very well may have done better. In today's generation there are far less religious people than in previous decades so as soon as they bring church into state it turns many young people away.

Guys the deficit is so far out of hand now it is almost impossible to recover from. I read some stats on the national debt a couple days ago and it seems very bleak that we won't get out of our debt without a fight or a sellout. Last year as a nation our money spent was more than the US combined net worth on paper. Now who really knows for sure? But the stats I read were scary as shit. 5.76 trillion from Washington to Clinton. And now bushy jr and Obama have added another 10 in just 12 years? Wtf is going on?

It's just not the presidents elected that add to the debt but congress and their pork barrel spending to get bills passed.

What's odd is there is no accountability.

It is all in how you are brought up. I am 22 and like Cornell and probably the vast majority of you on here, was brought up within a family that expected me to be a responsible person. School, work, sports practices, etc.

I had to mindset hammered into my hat-rack from the get go that if I start something then I damned sure better stick with it. IMO, that is what is right. I see kids anymore, even some of my own family members, that feel like this country owes them something and over their dead body will work for something.
Instead of actually busting their ass and working for what they *think* they want, they expect it to be handed to them on a silver platter. It is an utter shame and I am seeing it more and more everyday.

I know I am only 22 but good hell children, pull your heads out of your asses and get some fkn sunlight. The "American Dream" ain't going to fall right in your lap, you must, and God forbid you do, WORK at it. I could rant on and on about the pethora of issues the youth today but I'm gonna stop clucking away now.

Carry on.

Everyone wants to cut spending, just not in their district since it is clearly their "turn" to get the funding that the other guys have been. It goes back to how congress has a 20something % rating, but yet each congress man has to have at least 50% to get reelected

Just like everyone is for raising taxes on the "rich" as long as those rich are the people that have more money than I do.... everyone should pull their share, just as I shouldn't have to pay to float welfare, people who are smarter/are willing to take more risk shouldn't have to pay more than their fair share to float the gov't for me.

You're probably like me also and have those family members who think your parents gave you everything and that's how you got where you are. I have family members that treat me like I was spoon fed, when in reality my old man made me start working when I was 13. Like you I was brought up the same way, you start something, you finish it plain and simple. My little brother had a much easier life, and reaped the benefits of me working my ass off, if I had money to buy something and I bought it my mother would cry foul and buy something the same or equal value for my little brother. Guess what this hurt him in the long run, he doesn't have a job, and he has never held a steady job either. Me I'm doing just fine, I have a son of my own now and hope that I can pass on the values my father instilled into me. I have worked since I was 13, I got laid off after 9 years at a company and drew unemployment for 9 months so I could finish school, as soon as I got to my last semester of school I jumped right back into the work force.
