What hope do Politicians offer the million young people who are unemployed in this Government?

What hope should they offer?

Th only hope young people have and indeed older people who have lost their jobs is that ultimately we will come out of the slump/recession. I am beginning to think however that the less politicians try to tinker with the economy the quicker we will be out of the situation. One thing we must bear in mind and that is the hard fact that it is not written in stone that the west will always have the high standard of living it has now i know people do not want to hear that especially now but it is very true

Unemployment is high among American youth because they think they are entitled to things. They go through four years of college with mommy and daddy footing the bill. They have never worked a day in their life and think they're worth $50,000 or more simply because they have a degree. EXPERIENCE is more valuable than a piece of paper from your party years confirming that you did, indeed, make it through without flunking out. Most successful people started out in menial jobs, worked darn hard, and advanced AFTER they proved themselves. Get over yourselves, get a "menial" job to prove that you have some sort of work ethics, and you will succeed. I heard that 2/3 of young applicants actually ask about social media policies DURING THE INTERVIEW! I would never hire someone who asked how much play time they were allowed on my dime - most people won't. .

Wow! you really know your stuff. Your question reminds me of US president JFK - Do not ask what your country can do for you but what can you do for your country. You are probably a lot younger that these guys which means you have a greater stake in the future than these guys. Its your country - go claim it!

As a younger American college student myself, the message I get from the Obama administration is their desire to rape my generation to pay for others. Some younger people bought into Obama's BS initially. It was hard not to as It was all colorful rhetoric that was scripted better than a Hollywood movie.Most have figured out his empty rhetoric and lies bring nothing but problems. The tenured professors still worship him for obvious reasons, but the days of him being able to count on student support are behind him.

Career politicians will always look for short term vote-winning strategies, as opposed to long term visionary strategies. If you argue on behalf of Labour, the Conservatives or the Liberal Democrats, then you need to your head testing. All three parties are built upon career politicians who are only looking to benefit themselves; as a result, our democracy has been turned into a childish game of politics. Personally, I believe the Conservative government will do the following: - Create inflation: Hidden tax on the people -- already happened in the form of Quantitative Easing. Inflation will also erode the real value of government debt. - Banks recapitalised in preparation for a recession, or extremely slow growth -- again, this has been done using Quantitative Easing - When recession hits, consumer spending drops. - Around 70% UK economy built on service sector. - Mass job loss: mass unemployment in private sector, plus cuts in public sector. - Now time for investment in infrastructure. - Plans for infrastructure projects will currently be being processed – By the time they get through the red tape, the mass unemployment will be ready at a cheap wage to be employed in construction projects. - At the same time, cheap labour in private sector + devalued currency = cheap manufacturing industry jobs. Thus, our government will look for foreign manufacturing investment. - Exports become cheaper, again due to our devalued currency.

The people need to take back their government, and the only way to do that is campaign against the incumbents. Urge others to complain to their representatives about the need for social change. The pain is mightier than the sword. Write letters to newspapers before elections urging the policy of voting to be, if they are in, vote them out. That is the only way to shake up the government. The longer they are in office the bigger the chances they are corrupt or self seeking. The young generation needs to realize that the world will not be handed to them. They need to start at the bottom and work their way up, to do their best in everything they do to climb the latter of success. It won't happen overnight. Jobs are stepping stones. It is always better to work than not to work even if it is not the field you're interested in. If the person wants to work as a medical technician but there are no jobs, try to get a job in the kitchen, or materials management, or janitorial staff of a hospital. That is a foot in the door, that they can use as a stepping stone to the job they want. If youth refuse to start at the bottom, then they will be unemployed or underemployed for a very long time.

Sad to day, we should accept the fact that the Hi Tech era has brought about all these new fangled , machines and ideas that elliminates the need for man to do the work which they used to do. Robots are used today in every facet of manufacturing. Computers elliminated the need for man to to get into the very core of science out there in space. Perhaps it is time to follow the late John Kennedy when he exhorted..Ask not what your country can do for you, but ask what you can do for your country".Help your fellowmen,..help the needy, and spread GOODWILL everywhere you go !
