Reply #2: But hey, things have gotta improve, right? [View All]

President Obama is promising job retraining. Good to know that my friends who are laid off while in their fifties after amassing not one but two bachelors, plus a master's degree, in social work or psychology, will now get some training!! Same goes for people I know who have been in the sciences -when their jobs shipped to Singapoore, they were left jobless, while those with HB1 Visas were considered more hireable.


Of course, because my friends are of an age wherein anyone who hires them might have to start paying more in terms of health insurance premiums, and that is something most employers will not do, then what the Presdient should be doing is everything he can to bring about Universal Single Payer Health Care. Doesn't seem like the people around him have mentioned its existence though.
