[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Dems say, "Look 8.2% unemployment rate, its getting better!"

Theres a record 88million out of the workforce
Only 120k jobs added last month.

This is not an upward recovering economy. [/quote]

Well what kind of crock of shit number is 88 million?  I'm one of those because I choose to SAH.  So because we are doing so well that we only need one income, I contribute to your statistic of doom.

Here are the real numbers:  http://www.bls.gov/news.release/empsit.t16.htm

As you can see, there aren't 88 million people looking for work.  There aren't 88 million people even if you include those discouraged from finding work.  Not 88 million people even if you include those working fewer hours than they want.  Nowhere close.

So go ahead, throw around a number which includes families who are doing great, include people who are retired.  Great logic twister.[/quote]

To blindly explain bland economic numbers with distorted logic that there are families doing great out there who only need one income earner is a clear demonstration of the goggles you wear.  Your link very clearly shows that there 88million people out of the workforce.  Dont confuse yourself about unemployment rate-- which is based on the number of people actually looking for work and number out of the workforce.  Without a doubt, the numbers are not great (but not horrible), short of predictions, and a sign of slowing recovery.  Of course, thats just my opinion...

you can look at the markets response to the news (stock market was closed, but futures trading continues)-- S&P as well as Dow Jones futures dropped through the day.  Feel free to investigate for yourself on WSJ, FT, or Bloomberg-- none of which are as optimistic as your happy family sitting at home with a single income earner. [/quote]

I'm not blindly explaining anything.  I gave you a chart that shows you exactly how many people want to work.  I gave one example of why the 88 million is absurd.  Your Grammy is in that number.[/quote]
