Man, I got laid off and I haven't been able to find a job anywhere. It's seems like we'll never pull out of this recession, and in fact it's getting worse. Everything is being outsourced to foreign companies so our government and these corporations are taking away more and more jobs. I'm scared man, really scared.

Step 1: Get into an industry that isn't in the decline and/or move to an area that is not in a recession (the USA is a big place)

Step 2: ???

Step 3: Profit

For all I complain about my 30K a year job, I guess I'm lucky to have it. It definitely wasn't worth going to college though; I should have just joined the Army.

1. Obama hasn't raised a single person's taxes since he took office. The stimulus package, the very first thing he passed when he took office, was approximately 1/3rd targeted tax cuts. 2. He has tried to pass a second round of stimulus. Republicans filibustered.

Things are expected to pick up in about 5 years or so but the characteristics of the job market will be much different. Unemployment numbers will still be very high, but only because most of the unemployed will be low skilled, uneducated people.

He hasn't raised any taxes? How about the 10% tanning tax? What about all the fines in the Healthcare bill? Where are they going to get the money for all this stuff. It is unsustainable.

Your post is intellectually difficult to follow. You start out about being opposed to taxes, then pivot to fines in the Healthcare bill (which aren't the same thing as taxes) and end up complaining about there not being enough government revenue. (Which comes from taxes.)
