    Is it just me, or do all the green usernames commenting on this with such unbridled enthusiasm smell of "Voting Ring" and/or astro-turfing?

    It's always great to see how America responds when times are tough. I have no doubt that the great minds of this country will put things back on track. This is the perfect example.

    Unemployment + employers who can't find the right people to fill open jobs -> opportunity. Cool to see this approach to the skill gap!
