College grads today have ridiculously high unemployment rates and studies have shown that graduating into such a weak economy has a long-lasting detrimental effect on the earnings of youth. This is the payoff for their loyalty to Obama. Hope and change has become hype and blame. That does not an economic recovery make. Instead of fixing it, he focused on creating the gigantic government takeover of the nation's health care system and now he wants to raise taxes. A lot. Using a squirt-gun to put out a raging forest fire is unlikely to have a successful outcome.
Today, we find out that Obama has gone behind the back of congress and stripped the work requirement out of the welfare program. This action might help Democrats in the long run by ensuring continued dependence on the government dole, but I, for one, hope that our youth are smart enough not to fall for that trap that guarantees multi-generational poverty.
I know that some of the president's social agenda is popular with our youth. I get it. Compassion. Tolerance. Charity. I get it. Hopefully our kids see the big picture before November and realize that their standard of living for the rest of their lives is at stake. I don't know if Romney will go down in history as a good president, but I am fairly certain that Obama's legacy won't be very positive and shiny, and it is already marked as being downright hostile toward our youth.
