Let me break this down for you: we've got a bunch of letters coming in from folks who are fed up with the state of youth unemployment. They're not buying the official line that it's just a 'transitory' issue or blaming external factors like global supply chains.

Nobody is going to tell you this on CNN, but these readers are putting two and two together: excessive government regulations and lack of economic opportunity created by liberal policies are stifling young people's job prospects. You see it every day in the news how small businesses can't get off the ground or expand due to red tape.

Here’s what they're saying:

"These regulations strangle small businesses, leaving young people out in the cold. Where are their first jobs supposed to come from?" p>"Liberal policies have created a job market where entry-level positions require years of experience that doesn’t exist yet."

The real figure is buried deep in economic reports and policy papers. It's not 4%, it’s closer to 8% or more when you factor in the hidden unemployment among young people who’ve given up looking.

Who benefits from this? Definitely not you, the average worker struggling to find a job. Big business likes regulations because they can afford lobbyists and lawyers to navigate them. Meanwhile, small businesses are stuck in purgatory.

This is what happens when policymakers ignore the needs of everyday Americans in favor of ideological agendas. But let’s be real here – who's going to tell you this on mainstream media?
