Yup. Once the size and cost of government/social spending reach a critical mass, there's no turning back. I think America is past that point of no return, but I hope not.
Globalization is exploitation unless World Passport becomes a reality Outsourcing should be linked to caste system in India and human rights in China
Lend her money.You know who she is. She does not have any starting capital, she is just getting by. I would say she she is more a victim of circumstance than anything else. The global unemployment and under employment stituation will not be getting any better in the near future. Things are going to tighten economically up as much as they can without breaking the system outright. The next realastate bubble is already forming in china with their ghost cities and China/India will be transfering their labor to Africa for a cost savings. The large amount of Europeans and Americans will have to wait it out for the next 20-30 years until the toxic debt works itself out of the system. Global wealth condensation will continue to occur and those that are not lucky will be placed in economic peril. Asia and South America still have a chance at proper socio-cultural evolution make it.

I am sorry to say but a Ph.D in political science is no good qualification. What can her country export based on her knowledge of political science? This is the name fo the game: export, I repeat: export No exporting capacity leads to deficits, unemployment and lower standard of living. Nobody will pay a salary anyone for political science work exept maybe a goverment and there are may applicants for the positions. Someone should tell those people to learn a real skill. Learn to build things. Create staff. Sell them to people that need them. This is how the world worked for ages. Socialist policy was an experiment of the last 30 years that basically drove many countries to failure.
Haha. A PhD is political 'science' is not well-qualified, it's a worthless skill unless you want to go into government, political analysis, or a think-tank. Mass-mailing 1000s of CVs is idiotic. 90% of jobs are not advertised, and there is no possible way you can tailor 1000 CVs. Companies don't want a cut & pasted identikit CV, they want you to know about the company and be a good fit there. How can you be a good fit for 1000 places? The way to get jobs is to identify your skills, talents, and interest, then network like crazy, research your target field of work like a maniac, and then speak to *everyone* in that industry with hiring power. If necessary, offer to work for free or do work shadowing, work experience etc, just get yourself known and in the door, then work your nuts off, people will notice if you are good, word will spread. Keep doing that and let it be known you're looking for a position. Even in times like this, it is very difficult as an employer to find excellent, motivated, talented staff. If you are good then you can generate more in revenues than it costs to employ you. If you can do that, then companies will always hire you once you have proven it to them, because you add to their bottom line today, and have potential to add more tomorrow. I guarantee you that this woman has not done a proper job search, like most she just assumes that mass mailing CVs to everyone is the way to go - well guess what, every other unemployed person out there is doing the same. Finally, if employment is so bad right now, then start your own business, instead of assuming other people will pay you a hefty sum each month just because you can write a 4 page CV. Instead of marching in the streets because no one is giving you a free ride, how about some creative thinking, how about some old-fashioned elbow grease. What about the unskilled refugees from African and Latin America, they are far less intelligent and educated, they face class and racial prejudice, they seem to be able to survive in Spain, I'm sure this privileged woman can too.
