- “In the five years that President Barack Obama has served as president, the unemployment rate for workers ages 16-19 has not fallen below 20%.

- “Americans now owe more on their student loans than they do on their credit cards. With debt now growing at a rate of $2,853.88 per second, it will surpass $1 trillion in 2012. And neither taxpayers nor consumers can afford it.” – CNBC The College Debt Crisis
- “If you’re under 25, by the time you hit your prime earning years, you’re likely to face bleak long term economic prospects because of our massive debt load along with the crushing taxes that will be required to pay for it.” – 5 Groups of Obama Voters that Are Crushed by Democrats.
- “Occidental College sociologist Lisa Wade, who did a qualitative study of the hook-up culture among 44 of her freshman students (33 of them women), concludes that most of them ‘were overwhelmingly disappointed with the sex they were having in hook ups. This was true of both men and women, but was felt more intensely by women.’ The psychiatrist Miriam Grossman reports that the vast majority of women who have a hook-up experience later regret it. Wade confirms that the women she interviewed felt ‘disempowered instead of empowered by sexual encounters. They didn’t feel like equals on the sexual playground, more like jungle gyms.’” – Ricochet
