A young woman was being interviewed on tv about her college debt. She said she was going to graduate with honors in May and just realized in mid April she was $50,000. in debt. Huh? She also stated she would have to give up her dream job and get a different job to pay her bills. When questioned about her dream job, she stated it was registering voters. The interviewer quickly ended the interview.

A young man hired for a construction job after a recommendation from a shop teacher quit after 2 days stating he didn’t want to work that hard. We’re raising a lot of cupcakes that still live at home with Mommie and Daddy because they want new cars and want to start out with everything.

People who legally immigrate into this country with barely anything manage to educate themselves, create good lives and aren’t afraid of very hard work because it’s still better than from where they came.

We’ve become a country of we can’t vs we will.

May I add another?

"...why should I..."
