At what point can one call the chart below parabolic? What can we say but BTFD, if you see one.

And just in case we are accussed of distorting demographic data, here is the same chart indexed at 100% compared to the change in the total population. Demographic crunch anyone?



TOPICS: Business/Economy; News/Current Events
KEYWORDS: economy; obamanomics; realunemployment; unemployment

This is disturbing information. Fewer workers supporting an army of underutilized people who have plenty of time on their hands to take from the productive working class while they are busy at work. Be sure to lock your doors!

US population was 227 Million in 1980.
US Population 1980

In 2010, it was 310 Million.
US Population 2010

That's a 36% increase in Population.

Don't tell me you're falling for all these phony baloney government stats are you?  Everyone knows the real number is twice that!  No wonder the word 'gullible' is derived from the Latin 'gullius' --buyer of gold.

Why work when you can live on the government dole? Free cell phone, no need to pay your mortgage, food stamps, other government benes. America has become the lazy man's Paradise.

Fear not FReeper friend

Nov 2012 is setting up to be the perfect storm of unemployment/underemployment and spiraling prices.

The MSM can only stonewall so long. Folks buy gas and groceries every week.

I’ll confess: I’ve been one of those gullible chumps buying gold since 2004.

Not Possible! The Obama Administration’s BLS just reported that unemployment just dropped last week to 8.9%! That means 804,000 people found work in the past month! (That also means Obama is full of bullsh*t!)
