A Youth Misery Index that measures young Americans’ woes has skyrocketed under President Barack Obama and hit an all-time high.The index, released Wednesday, was calculated by adding youth unemployment and average college loan debt figures with each person’s share of the national debt. While it has steadily grown over the decades, under Obama the figure has shot up dramatically, from 83.5 in 2009 to 98.6 in 2013.

Only Republicans care about Legacy ... Democrats just retire and become more popular.

I fixed Cigar's list to tell the rest of the story.

Progressives took a lot of ground.

Health Care for All Americans except for 30 million or so.
Wall Street Reform by giving away billions and creating the next balloon soon to crash. How many have gone to jail?:
Avoiding another Great Depression by hiding it.
Saving a million jobs in the American auto industry by saving Chrysler for the Italians and keeping the rest temporarily propped up selling gas guzzling trucks and sport utes.
Expanding Medicaid without a clue how to pay for it other than hoping to pile the costs on the backs of the young.
Eliminating Don't Ask Don't Tell and making the military safe for corn holers and women who can't pass the physical requirements.
Marriage Equality in a few liberal havens.
Expanding Children's Health by putting their parents out of work or in low paying part time jobs.
Environmental Reform by destroying 40 percent of the nation's generating capacity and piling huge rate increases on the declining middle class.
Expanding Labor Rights to make union thuggery even easier.
Expanding Civil Liberties by making the knock out game safe for the sons of Obama.
Equal Pay for Equal Work as determined by some overpaid bureaucrat. Less work for everyone.
Killed OBL after agonizing over the obvious for hours and after he was found by the Bush appointees.
Ended the Iraq War by taking credit for a treaty negotiated by Bush and restored terrorism there.

The funny part is that almost his entire list was done by executive order, and of course???? that means that the next president will reverse most of that list with the stroke of a pen.

If,, "IF" Obamacare is the disaster that most believe it to be? It will be repealed with the exception of those that are currently on the program they will be phased out and that will happen in the first week of the next president.

The entire Obama presidency could be wiped out in a matter of weeks?

really, i seem to recall a huge battle because the RWNJ's wanted college students to pay twice in interest what they already pay.

and dems, particularly the senator from massachusetts, fighting for students to have the same interest rates as banks...

so i'm going to chalk that up to another correlation but not cause thing.

He sucks, and it's on young people, women, and minorities.

But the older folk, especially old white males, nominated Romney. In other words, every demographic is stupid as fuck, and we're all pretty much screwed.

Yes, anything to drag them into debt for "educations" that are worthless and they won't be able to pay for.

Not to worry, you can just print some more money, right Jillian?

The House had already passed a student loan bill, one that the regime preferred to the Senate bill. :shocked: But those pesky facts do get in the way of partisanship, eh?

Us young people are really getting fucked by this college scam. Government college loans need to end, as they make college unaffordable and leave us in ridiculous debt.

The Iraq war was slated to end when it did, but thanks for doubling troops in Trashcanistan.
