This is interesting. I was out of work in my field since April. I started a new job one week ago. I had only not gotten a job after having an interview ONCE in my entire life, but in the last 6 months I had 5 jobs get yanked after the interview for one reason or another.
Whose fault is it? Well, me for not having a marketable skill I would say. Just because you decide to do something for a living and do it for 25 years, as I have, doesn't mean that anyone owes you a job. It is the potential employees' responsibility to stay on top of his/her own skill set, don't try to blame it on anyone.
As far as the state of the economy. The economy started to falter around April of 2000, while Clinton was still President, but, as others have pointed out, the President has little direct effect on the economy. One 'little' thing that happened that had a major negative impact on the economy was a couple of planes were flown into some buildings on 9/11 last year. That was where the major market fall was that we have had little recovery from. In that respect we can blame Clinton. We were offered bin Laden on a platter on at least one occaision and Clinton's indecisiveness and inaction caused bin Laden to remain at large. Since bin Laden was responsible for the terrorist attacks, the terrorist attacks resulted in a falling market, and a falling market is an indication of a faltering economy, since Clinton did not take action against bin Laden, one could say that Clinton was responsible for the falling market that resulted from the terrorist attacks.
If anyone can show that any action that Bush took and how it resulted in a falling market after he took office on Jan 20 last year and prior to 9/11 I would like to hear it.
