    Remember the old Seinfeld when Kramer got the illegal Cubans and burned down Susan's log cabin in the woods in upstate New York and during the flames all he cared about was the Cuban cigars?

    Well that is how ofukkup bozo the shithead bama is except he only cares about communism and socialism when everything else around him is on fire.

    Let that sink in.
    That # was around 66.3 in 2007 and is around 62.5-63 now (and for the past year)

    What # would make you feel better after having the economy crater 8 years ago?

    That 62% number also is highly reflective of the fact that we are becoming an older and older society. And baby boomers are now late 60's and 70's and are retiring in droves. People are living longer (presumably a good thing) and therefore are out of the workforce longer and also live longer while disabled.

    Again, there are jobs. A lot of them. Adults that are capable and willing to work can find jobs.

    Young people don't want to work, level of self entitlement is crazy. Most people I know got a worthless degree, in debt and refuse to take a job that they think they're above. Most of them are fukin bums still living at home

    that pay less than they did in the 90's... this kind of sounds like republican nonsense to me - and i know you to be a reasonable guy.

    we outsourced our manufacturing base and changed our economy from a high-wage manufacturing economy to a low-wage service economy. these "jobs" pay starvation wages.

    i'll give you an example of how ****** up it is to a be a worker in the united states: i take a job on a drilling rig in wyoming. it's brutally dangerous work. the pay is reasonable at about 27/hr to start. sounds ok right? wrong! you work 7 12hr days then have 7 off. the one first week works out to 84 hours. you'd figure you were entitled to 44 hours overtime, right? wrong! they bribed the penetrating politicians to say that the second 40 hrs goes towards the second week when you are at home. penetrating wage-theft!

    think about that: they keep the rig running 24/7/365. the workers work 7 straight 12 hour shifts and only get 4 hours overtime; thus penetrating me out of well over a thousand a month. now do the math: 4 shifts, 5 or 6 guys a shift, $1200/month, 14.4k/worker/year, equals an extra 345k/year - per rig - that goes into some rich pricks pocket.

    penetrating canada now has the world's richest middle-class; a distinction we used to own - until we gave everything to these rich dicks.
    http://www.nytimes.com/2014/04/23/up...abt=0002&abg=1

    technology and so-called-free-trade will continue to displace workers (they've already had driverless semi trucks on the roads in nevada). shortly, truckers or cabbies won't exist. how many other jobs will be lost. if your a delivery driver - you're ****** too. this makes the need for a 'basic income' (provide every citizen with enough money to live above the poverty line) more important than ever.

    Only North Korea remains to be tamed by Obama from the axis of evil. It's amazing what Obama did that Bush couldn't even dreamed. First he tamed Libya, then Iran and now Cuba. Next target is North Korea. If he tames North Korea he has to earn another Nobel Peace Prize.

    so the real question is: if you're concerned about jobs why do you support republicans? we could create millions of jobs if the republicans weren't so caught up in partisan politics that won't allow them to do anything to make obama look good - even if it harms regular people.

    if that number is true that is a harsh indictment of the private sector; that it can't come close to providing full-employment.
    The only old people working are the ones who cannot survive due to high taxes and inflation you fukking idiot. Slaves. Get it? Fukking stupid.

    But, but, but the last two years of a presidency is suppose to be lame duck!

    Just when the Repubs settle down over Obama's last executive order, BAM! He throws out another one.

    Come on congress, did you really think the world would wait until you reviewed the Iran deal before
    they voted unanimously for it? Especially as dysfunctional as you are? I need to go to a town hall meeting
    and laugh in his stupid face.

    A. The # of people covered has changed very little since he took the Presidency in 2008
    B. If you call a higher percentage of the workforce not employed prosperity then you have been duped.
    C. Obama is no peacemaker, he created the conflict in Ukraine, he bombed the shit out of Libya, we are still in Afghanistan and Iraq, bombing yemen, terrorizing people with drones, etc.
    D. I'm not sure what you mean by equality, but if it is gay marriage that was the USSC, not Obama.

    It's the worst....Very similar to people who do something really dumb on the road and act like you're the idiot and in the wrong.

    This country is screwed but it's not because of who or who isn't elected president.....Simply too many dumb and ignorant people with zero common sense, zero perspective, and they all think they know everything and are owed something by the rest of the world....Just so many clueless people that you have to wonder how they get through daily life

    For an internship I had during college, I would get e-mails from customers who were in trouble with their mortgage payments.....it was laughable how 99% of the time it was never their fault.....Most of the letters written had the grammar and structure of something written by a 3rd grader

    Truly sad times....Has America always been this bad?

    you're wrong


    my bad, instead I'll just quote you next time you actually say something correct that way I'm not filling thread up quoting you're stupid opinions(not an insult, fact based on math) that you clearly never use a calculator to form.
