For over three years the Obama administration and their media minions have sounded like a broken record by touting this magical economic recovery. After all, how else could the unemployment rate have fallen to 5.5%? I hate to let logic and empirical truth interfere, but please allow me to introduce subtraction - addition’s tricky friend! Today the Labor Department confirmed there are a RECORD 93 million Americans out of the workforce, a RECORD 12 million African Americans out of the workforce and a RECORD 56 million women out of the workforce. In essence, since 2008, a record 13 million people have given up looking for work and dropped out of the unemployment equation completely. But I thought Democratic policies helped the middle and lower class? This is “hope” and “change”; a robust and vibrant marketplace honoring the American dream? Hardly. Yes, there is something seriously amiss when government hires outpace new private sector jobs, business closings exceed new openings, when welfare recipients have nearly doubled from 26 million to 47 million in only 6 years, and the national debt – now a RECORD 18 trillion – has surpassed our ability to pay it; or 100% of our GDP. The only “record” this backwards administration has accomplished is turning a once great nation into a divided, dependent welfare state of redistribution that is more concerned about enabling racism, radical feminism, illegal immigration, Islam and the gay agenda than the Constitutional ideals they swore to protect! Once upon a time our best exports were liberty, opportunity, innovation, and hard work. Now it’s bullshit, envy, and excuses. Thank you, Mr. President…we wouldn’t dare question you or hold you accountable. Bush is obviously to blame for your entire, pathetic life.
PS..."Death to America" is Iran's way of thanking you for a nuclear Islamic caliphate. Thank you for making the Infidel - Christian and Jewish taxpayers - pay for progressivism in more ways than one!
2x welfare? Really?
Yep. There was approximately 26-27 million on gov’t assistance in 2008 and now it’s 47 million. A near doubling. Even Rino Romney pointed that out during the election.
That rate cant last long. The wagon will stop moving soon.
Good rant!
The way this administration figures the UE numbers, if everybody in the country was unemployed, the Unemployment Rate would be 0%
Thank you!
