Bob Herbert is writing about and who may NEVER find full-time meaningful work again.  It's a scary prospect, but our leaders have NO intention of improving the job market, as they are a bunch neoliberal thugs.

But there is no chance, given the embarrassingly dysfunctional political environment in Washington, that any of the bold steps needed to ease the jobs crisis and brighten the nation’s future will be taken. The politicians have abdicated their responsibility, thus insuring that the long dark night of the American economy will continue.

That's because these idiots and cretins are all bought off.

The U.S.A. may very well be on its last legs.
