Without Regret They Would Rather Fret

Even with their BA's, MA's
And Phd's...
They can not return jobs lost,
And outsourced overseas.

Nor can they stall the slide,
Of a nose diving economy.
Yet they are caught up bragging...
About their ivy league affiliations.
With their much sought after,
College degrees.

While the obvious continues to elude them.
A common sense,
Treated...
Like a low class disease.

And without regret they would rather fret,
About exhausting their faltering debt with poor credit...
Living their best,
In the lap of luxuries!
