Overall, I remain of the opinion that the deck is stacked against generations behind us.

While the Orwellian talkers on television tout the unemployment rate, nobody ever talks about what kind of jobs those are and if there are healthcare benefits. Then they talk about the wonders of corporate tax cuts — which corps are using a large percentage of for stock buybacks. Thus, the market.

We are being had. And it has been oh soooo easy.

People focus on unemployment, but seldom mention employment rate which is at a all time low.
