At some point.. You must come to the conclusion that Democrats are screwing this country up on purpose. It's impossible for them to be this wrong this often by accident.

Raylan Wolfe Loc: earth

Obama has outperformed GW by a huge amount on jobs, so what his excuse, was he screwing this country also?

Super Dave Loc: Realville, USA

Your chart has full time meaningful jobs as being equal to part time jobs.

Obamacare and other punitive liberal policies have caused many jobs to shift away from 40 hours.

That's one reason why inflation adjusted payroll is down since Bush left office.

Raylan Wolfe Loc: earth

But the fact is that jobs and the economy are doing much better since Bush left and Obama took office!

JMHO Loc: Utah

Total 110% pure B.S.. Try and RESEARCH SOME REAL FACTS FOR A CHANGE, you biased left-wing POS! The U3 number means NOTHING!

Raylan Wolfe Loc: earth

And Aho continues to prove his stupidity!

GW Bush told the American people that the US economy had been devastated and about to have another Great Depression just 5 months before Obama would take office and save the economy!

It is YOU who is displaying stupidity and just plain ignorance, pal. You're so full of crap Raylan, your eyes must be brown. The economy was pretty good under Bush, especially after he got us out of the Clinton recession. Obama HAS DONE NOTHING to get this economy going, GDP is a dismal 2%, 94 million Americans not working, U6 unemployment numbers over 10% (Shadow Statistics say it is actually over 20%), over $8T added to the national debt (more than all previous presidents combined), middle class wages stagnant, all while the treasury coffers have brought in record amounts of tax money over the past two years! And, Obungler is still running an annual budget deficit close to $400B...Bush's highest budget deficit was $440B.

Raylan Wolfe Loc: earth

Your comment as usual is unsubstantiated!

Fact: If Obama's economic recovery from Bush's economic disaster had not been successful, Romney would be president not Obama!

Fact: Obama saved the economy that Bush destroyed!

Your comment as usual is unsubstantiated! You libtards love to distort facts, and history...nothing new. OBAMA DESTROYED THE ECONOMY, MORON - AND YOU CAN NOT PROVE OTHERWISE, EXCEPT USING BOGUS MADE UP BULLS**T! Like I said, you're delusional and just plain full of crap. Now, you can reinsert your head back into it's normal place...about two feet up your ass.

Raylan Wolfe Loc: earth

Another unsubstantiated comment from a fool who cannot verify his i***tic statements!

You're so stupid Raylan, I think the word was invented when they met you...total moron.

Or one might come to the conclusion that focusing on labor force participation rate is just another meaningless cudgel with which to bash the current administration.

http://www.davemanuel.com/investor-dictionary/labor-force-participation-rate/

Check out that last sentence: "For comparison's sake, the labor force participation rate was around 58-59 in the late '40s."

Here's a more nuanced look at what labor force participation rate means:

But that won't matter....go ahead and bash the administration. I'm sure the President lies awake at night gnashing his teeth over what conservatives think of him. But probably not.

Super Dave Loc: Realville, USA

so.. Focusing on the actual number of people working working is unfair? But focusing on a number that can improve while employment gets worse is better? Really?

working class stiff Loc: N. Carolina

I'm not sure I understand your response. Did you mean the number of people not working?

Really, both numbers are important: labor participation rate and unemployment rate. As long as the context is remembered. I question the use of the LFPR only, because there is a context to the number that you did not explain, which is why I provided the links.

JMHO Loc: Utah

Yeah, like when you l*****t clowns on the left used the U6 number to bash Bush! Remember that? I, and many others here h**e Obama because HE HAS DONE ABSOLUTELY NOTHING TO HELP THE ECONOMY SINCE BEING ELECTED!!!!! The only possible thing you can point to is that phony $875B stimulus package that was a pay off to the unions and fellow Democrats, it produced very few jobs, and most of what was created were only temporary jobs. Since then, all he has done is rake in record amounts of tax dollars over the past two fiscal years, and he is still running close to a $400B annual deficit! Bush only had one year with a budget deficit that high, and ironically that was when Pelosi ran the budget process. Obama has added over $8T to the national debt, more than all previous presidents combined, and he ain't through yet. The economy is still stagnant...rolling along with a dismal GDP of 2%. Middle class wages have declined on Obama's watch, and 94 million Americans are not working...a record.

We have $221 trillion worth of unfunded liabilities and the total net worth of our country is $94 trillion and we have another $18+ trillion worth of debt. That's trillion...to give you an idea of how much a trillion is, start from the day Christ was born and try to spend a million dollars a day. If you did, it would take until the year 2704 to reach a trillion, and we have over $18 trillion in debt! Change the decimal points and work those numbers into your own household budget and see what they tell you. Currently 71% of the national budget goes for entitlements and servicing the debt. When Obamacare is fully implemented in 2017, more will be added to that number. If, and when, interest rates reach pre-2008 levels, the interest on the national debt will be around $1 trillion (it is just over $200 billion now) or about 25-30% of the budget. Thank you liberal socialists!

In short, Democrat WILL NEVER turn this economy around...it isn't possible because of their radical socialist and Keynesian economics beliefs.
