Naysayers

The crepe-hangers on the Left are out in full force again this morning. Star-Tribune reporter Adam Belz has a front-page article today (3-9-3014) stating that young people are starting from behind and cannot get ahead.

How is this for a suggestion? How about the young man, Gabe Ciuraru, pick up an inexpensive Class A driver's license and go out to the Bakken Oil fields and drive truck for two years. He can save $100, 000, enough to pay for his degree.

How about Democrats joining Republicans in repealing Obamacare; that way young people will not have to pay an expensive fine yearly for not having coverage. That way employers can hire more employees that can work more than 30 hours a week without the employers going broke. That would ripple out as jobs and opportunities for millions of young people.

How about young people borrow enough to go one year at a time, and then get out an work and pay that off. Then they can borrow to go the second year, etc. Until they graduate. It is slow but life is not easy. They must find a way to get it done, and quit whining about how bad things are today. Many in the middle class started off poor with little opportunity.

Democrats, Millennials and Independents should unite to get the government out of the marketplace, and lower taxes and spending. Then, as business picks up, that is the tide that will lift all boats.

This is still the best country in the world. Those that are confident, smart, resilient, hard-working and optimistic will rise to the top and prosper despite hard times.

Young people need to ignore the nay-sayers lamenting that are best days are behind us. These young people need to get going, and go after their dream no matter how long it takes, or how tough the sledding. Each young person must live and work as a yeah-sayer, and where he believes he will succeed, it will happen.
