    Lull.

    Sure those statistis are bogus.

    But then that is life.

    Like it or leave it.

    That's why I am where I am and you are still trying to find your niche.

    Take my advice.

    Make the best of what you have.

    It could be worse.

    Yaar Ray I have had it over here! its going to be the 4th straight year of on and of unemployment! Very very tight job ( engineering) market! 4th straight year of economic uncertainty. 4th straight year of net loss of jobs! Total destruction and/ or outsourcing of manufacturing and enginering sector, and drastically reduced IT potential!

    but anyway its time to go to the land , 'down-unda'

    Australia is right now how the UK was in the 50's and how the U.S. was in the 60's..............If you know what I mean, when you probably rememer the compulsions o emigrate to any part of the CW specally if yu were from INda/ Paksitan and were educated

    The only other alternative is to do what those sardars and gujju do! open grocery stores/ Dunkin Donuts/ Gasstations!.............Thats a rough life budy! pumping cheese 24/7/ 365! No thanks!

    He may even miscalculate and slide these weapons off to terrorist groups to invite them to be a surrogate to use them against the United States. It’s the miscalculation that poses the greatest threat-John Kerry

Blaming them for their condition is cruel.
    There are an estimated 500,000 homeless vets from the Vietnam era.
    500,000 homeless vets is a large number, somethings needs to be done about them. Maybe some senior retd generals need to start some form of support system to generate employment.

    Cheers!...on the rocks!!

    Agreed on this point, it is not the govt.s responsibility however.
