It is obvious, at least to me, that the Democrats are still pointing fingers and assigning blame rather than performing the ritualistic introspection that losers always do.
It is not easy for AMERICANS to lose. We like to win, and we have no time at all for losers. As a result, children learn at an early age, that WINNING IS EVERYTHING.
However, when children grow up, that is to say, leave high school and get a job, they find out very quicky that winning in high school sports is not going to do a damn thing for them.
College is the same way. It is true that college graduates can earn more than high school graduates but that only applies in the early stages of one's career, say for the first 3-5 years.
Usually, but not always, between 25-30, high school graduates can SURPASS college graduates.
I knew someone that started as a cook at a restaurant after high school. Became a waiter, then an assistant manager, then a manager at age thirty, making more than college graduates at that same age. Before, he was 40, he became a franchise owner and was earning twice what a college grad was earning.
BUT... he had to pay his dues for a while...
Is this what he had planned?
I don't know, but he stayed with it hoping for the best and wanting to grow, I believe.
My high school graduate franchise owner did not experience the winning or losing mentality in high school. Therefore, he did not consider himself to be a loser, when after he graduated from high school, he became a cook.
I would have seen myself as a loser if I had become restaurant cook after high school, instead of going to college.
