60 Minutes segments

What irony. Moments after Paul Ryan was finished pontificating about "In this country, if you play by the rules you will move ahead", 60 Minutes moved to a segment about the long-term unemployed.

Once again we had a stark contrast between republican oblivious platitudes and the ugly reality for those not born with silver spoons stuck in some orifice.

Team Rolls-Royce is utterly clueless when it comes to the American reality for 99% of us.

by blaming Obama and his "failed policies" as they totally forget who got us where we are. My husband and I watched the unemployment piece in horror as we are now included the millions that are unemployed. We just started this horrific journey, and I can tell you, we did everything right. Between the two of us we have two electrical engineering degrees, a computer science degree and a masters in engineering. The GOP can go fuck themselves.
