Began -- question from first time vote Jeremy -- As Tony year old college student all they hear from professors neighbors and others is that when -- -- -- of little -- to get employment.
Can what can you say to reassure me but more importantly my parents -- -- to -- sufficiently support myself after -- graduate.
All right is worries at least I think I think -- wasn't justified and here's why.
According to Northeastern University 53%.
Of college graduates are unemployed or under employed.
At a new report out today shows the class of 2011 the most recent college graduates now face an average of 26000 dollars in student loan debt.
With numbers like this why should any student -- recent grad who vote for president Obama's reelection.
Joining us now -- -- is the -- directive for young that Democrats all of America.
I'll give you thirty seconds -- from the get go give me thirty seconds on why new graduates.
Should vote for President Obama go.
Absolutely for thought thank you for having me on how can they not vote for President Obama.
Representing young people -- the -- to see -- the first question was on a young person with the economy looks like for them.
And if we're looking for reasons to vote for President Obama clearly his answers worked because Jeremy the student has come out today that he is no longer undecided.
And you think -- by President Obama.
President Obama has worked very -- and he's worked very hard you have -- Give me a single order -- reason why he reasons -- in my comment my take on the middleman out of student lending.
He would increase pell grants for about ten million students.
Romney's plan on the other hand would actually.
Double life don't you think and it all into not a second wait a second the -- -- -- -- -- address.
The question of jobs 53%.
Of recent college graduates are underemployed all unemployed.
And -- -- direct result of president Obama's economy.
Don't you think that they want to jobs that the gotta repay -- -- student led don't you think they want to get out barrel war couldn't get jobs so why should they vote for President Obama.
He's also going Johnson they want jobs and we're and we are and a society wherever they -- this economy from President Obama where all day.
The jobs -- on the incline it we they've -- when the president talks about the situation the economy when he took over he's not excuses he's -- -- context.
And he's building out an economy from the middle class out.
In an economy that is built collapsed so we talk about college students the jobs are coming back but -- -- present.
Yeah admitted -- non apology this -- ideology isn't what four years of college pays for my kids are going to trade school could you're out thinking that you're entitled to something can't have anything.
And your student loan you're hoping this president comes back so that he forgives all that we had his -- is coming from that's not because you think is -- And create jobs for -- and present president I don't know Bob Edwards in the community colleges and trade school.
-- that options President Obama said himself that his solution to creating jobs was to bring -- manufacturing.
Jobs back to the US.
So when you have these college graduates they -- going to work in a manufacturing plant under President Obama that's his solution is that what people are going to college for.
And we think we're talking about two different things that when young people come out of college with massive amounts of debt they wanna get good paying jobs and pay back that debt.
And also hopefully the -- wasn't huge to begin at present Obama has also said that the work with universities to make sure they were looking at long term signaling -- rates well twelve dollar I jobs I would believe that would be our people you know and college is not the -- -- for everyone.
Knows not everything you know and everything you -- colleges trade -- look -- -- asked I don't want out of the White House what we want absolute and expanding growing economy.
You've not told me how President Obama is gonna expand this economy because in full years he has not.
One and -- -- have a cup president Obama's gonna and it I think we've.
He made the -- -- the debate.
And we continue no we didn't talk about my -- -- scaled on the economy will I've given how I gonna -- -- -- -- gives me I will give you.
And uninterrupted twenty seconds and you tell me exactly.
How this president is going to really create millions of new jobs and a second go.
But is -- we're talking about an economy that is built.
-- the middle class out.
Not an economy that is top talent ex president of a governor Romney is only talking about until he's only talking about from the top down that is an economy that got us into this problem in the first place -- going to be talk about manufacturing jobs.
When governor Romney was what when he was the governor of Massachusetts.
Massachusetts -- may.
-- -- at twice the rate you can -- they're gonna get -- gone after that Mitt Romney you haven't told me a single detail how President Obama could.
Increase jobs by the million in the second -- you have not told me.
A duty -- -- get another twenty seconds because I've got it you want what I thought governor Ronnie told us but it wasn't the government dot -- he creating jobs.
-- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- --
