Your chart nails it. But, remember, the private sector is doing “just fine”.
Yes, it could be revealed and talked about.
But inside the Beltway, it would cause a furor.
1. Immigration needs to be curtailed - both legal and illegal. When the economy isn’t generating jobs, we’re just not able to absorb immigration.
2. We need to end the “free trade” charade.
3. We need to take on the financial sector with fire and sword. The fraud is rampant in the financial sector, and now it has reached levels where perhaps the only way to break apart the banking cartel(s) is to use martial law.
Too many people asked themselves these questions:
Why am I working when that guy/gal is sitting around all day?
Why am I paying this money into Social Security when I’ll never see a dime of it?
Why am I paying taxes so politicians can buy poor people’s votes with it?
Why struggle to do an honest day’s work politely while the crooks and the rude thrive?
Why speak up when I’ll just be shouted down?
Yeah, but remember, from Obama's perspective, this is a feature, not a bug.
The nation’s workforce expanded by 189,000 in June, 85,000 were added to social security’s disability rolls while only 80,000 unemployed found jobs, and Obama calls it a “step in the right direction”. Anyone who thinks he deserves another four years must be getting all their news from MSNBC.
“Long-term joblessness is particularly bad because skills erode or become obsolete, leading to permanent losses in income.”
That one jumped right out at me. I guess I hadn’t thought about the fact that NOT having a job for a very long time makes you less employable in the future. Reminds me of the days when many SAHMs were forced back into the workforce under President Carter, to keep their families afloat. My Mom, included.
Scary times for us all.
