Economy Of the Disillusioned: Generation Invisible

Generation Invisible (Article from Long Island Pulse Magazine

I went for a Doctor's check-up several days ago. As I am sitting in the waiting room dreadfully equating how much this Doctor's visit is going to Cost me now that I no longer have Health Insurance, this Magazine Cover caught my attention. So I picked it up and in all of it's Irony, I chuckled to myself thinking, "Yep, I feel your pain."
Long story short, the article hit home, for me and I'd say for almost about everyone I know in my age bracket. We grew up being told, "You can't get a decent paying job with out getting a college degree." And yet, after investing all of our hard earned money, time, and dedication into obtaining a College Degree in our desired fields of interest, here we are left.... Struggling, with No Jobs in our fields, No Money, and Huge college loan Debt! Talk about disillusionment, all of that hard work and money has yet to "pay off ."
Anyhow, enough with the Negative Nancy talk, because as the saying goes, "Where There Is A Will, There Is A Way."
Thinking positive and being pro-active is the only way out, which is why I feel that it is important to pass this around:
Student Loan Forgiveness Act Petition.
This Petition is requesting consideration on developing a steady Law that will lend a helping hand to those struggling under massive amounts of student loan debt. 
Click Here, for some of the Key Points in regards to this Act.

"Student loan debt has an undeniable and significant suppressive effect on economic growth. The Student Loan Forgiveness Act of 2012 directly addresses this enormous boot on the neck of the middle class and represents a glimmer of hope for millions of Americans who, with each passing day, find that the American Dream is more and more out of reach."
