[QUOTE="Babagounj, post: 919734, member: 12952"] [b]Re: Obamanomics[/b] [URL="http://globalpublicsquare.blogs.cnn.com/2011/12/30/have-the-youth-given-up-on-obama/"](CNN)[/URL] — In 2008, the youth vote helped sweep Barack Obama into office. Americans 18-29 spread the word on social media, energized fundraising and went to the polls. In 2012, the youth vote is moving on and throwing those omnipresent “Hope” bumper stickers and t-shirts in garbage bins. The 18-29 vote is up for grabs in 2012 because youth can’t afford cars to put bumper stickers on and those t-shirts are worn out from too many days sitting on the couch unemployed. The sobering reality: just 55.3 percent of Americans between 16 and 29 have jobs. And earlier this year, Americans’ student loan debt surpassed credit card debt for the first time ever. [/QUOTE]
