92,447,000 Americans Not Working...
Labor Force Participation Remains at 36-Year Low...
11,918,000 Have Dropped Out Since Obama...
Things are going GRRREAT!
To be fair on the labor force participation rate, a lot of that has to do with boomers retiring and retired people living longer. We have a higher percentage of old people than we've ever had, and that number will only grow larger. Now, some of that also has to do with the economy, I agree.
But since you are so smart and can decipher success or failure. How would you have kept those $750,000 jobs from disappearing in the crash?
Waiting.....

WTF?
Are you even on Earth?

I do not know how I can make NOVEMBER 2014 any clearer.
Which part of "Minus 735,000Full-time Jobs" do you not understand?

Obamacare is destroying your economy, even though Obama panicked and violated the Constitution by blocking implementation of key provisions.

No, I'm thanking Obama for the loss of 735,000 Full-Time jobs.
I'm sure those Americans will be having a Very Merry Christmas.

You are correct to a point. Another component not often discussed is the cash economy.

Oh look, someone who doesn't understand why seasonally adjusted numbers might be important.

and we have a higher percentage of people 65 and older who are remaining in the work force. Your narrative does not work out so well because more elderly are working today than we have been led to believe.

Yeah, there are more elderly people working too. But the number of retired people is still higher than it's ever been.
Lets not be naive here.... Obama is the anti Christ to the far right and can do no good.
