Ayup, even here in Texas though we have more jobs than the national average, I see anecdotal evidence of younger people with just high school educations or low math Lib arts degrees having to work two or three part time jobs with little or no chance of advancement just to make a living. One young kid that I know of married his high school sweety and he just recently and reluctantly went on the Texas "Food Stamp" program. There is a considerable amount of anger toward the Federal government and various rouge agencies even at street levels.
