This is again a false argument, births exceed job age. The population adding 13 million people doesnt mean we need 13 million more jobs.
in 1995( those turning 18 last year), there were 3.892 million people born, All those people wont go immediately into the job market. Many will go to college(66% of high school grads go to college), but in bigger contrast, there were 3.957 births in 2013
then there is the fact that old people retire from their jobs or step down to part time.
in 1943( these people turned 66 in 2009), 3.102 million people turned old enough to retire, 2.939 million in 2010, 2.858 in 2011, 3.411 in 2012, 3.817 in 2013, and 3.637 in this coming year.
My argument is simply, that the ratio of births to jobs needed is not 1:1 as you were claiming.
Never mind the fact that this entire post is you attacking President Obama for a recession that started before he even took office.
Should we compare the number of people on welfare now vs then?
if those jobs arent needed, there would be less people on welfare, not more, and someone has to pay for them.
Good news for the nation...so of course the conservatives are trying desperately to find some reason not to believe it. 'You can't trust the numbers!' usually right around the time they've quoted some number that seems to support their argument (like all the people who've dropped out of the work force -- that's a gov't sourced number too). Or 'the source is a liberal liar' -- they never argue *facts*.
The facts are that every economic indicator is improving. Unemployment -- like it or not -- is just 6.1% nation wide. Car dealers had their best August in 11 years. Consumer confidence is up. Exports are up. The deficit is down and dropping. More Americans have health care/insurance. Crime is down.
Just roll with it, guys. Sooner or later things will start to sink again and then you can be happy again.
He's only going down in history to me for being the ass who forces people making 50 thou a year to pay 800 to 1000 a month for a family of 3 to have insurance or get fined. It's ridiculous. You can't even get a good cash price at the doctors anymore, and the expensive plans pay for nothing. OBAMA is taking a sledge hammer to the middle class.
He gained votes for promising what he couldn't deliver just like the rest of them. Then after in office shook hands with insurance corps and mandated their bs.
When I hear Obamas name I only think of my regret for voting for him. I was wrong he wasn't the less of two evils, paying for that mistake now. Sucks.

wow apparently you never finished 5th grade, or you just cant read
population (not just births) GREW by 13 million in the last 5 years
number of jobs created in those 5 years LESS THAN 3 Million
number of PEOPLE working full time jobs...8 MILLION LESS than 5 years ago
EVERY DAY 6000 people turn 65 in the usa
EVERY DAY 13,000 people turn 18 in the usa
even a 5th grader could see the math... too bad you cant
Interesting to see the same RWNJ's attack the source and on other threads scream at others to not do so and address what is in article.
Nope no Double Standard on the right is there?
ROTFLMAO!
