  • Now you seem to be vomiting as many other links and statistics you can in this thread that you think make Obama look bad. All while getting further from the original statistic you posted.

    I'll try to remember to look through it all later. Or maybe Chris will.

    Yeah good luck with that. One OP, one counter.

  • The Blaze's "report" is utter nonsense:

    First of all, the total US population (FY2015), from newborns to the oldest American, is around 320 million people. If you subtract out the number of citizens who normally don't fully participate in the workforce anyway - those under the age of 18 (73,645,000) and above the age of 70 (31,693,000) - this leaves a maximum possible workforce (ages 18-70) of around 214,662,000.

    So, if the Blaze's "report" is to be believed, and 100 million people are not participating in the workforce, that would come out to an unemployment rate of 46.6%. To put that in perspective, that would place the US within the top 10 countries with the highest unemployment rates, somewhere between the Republic of the Congo and Bosnia and Herzegovina. Or, to put it another way, even the highest unemployment rate of the Great Depression, 1934, was 25%.

    Funny how some of these claims become dubious when you bother to actually look into them deep enough.

    But, the conservative zealots eat up whatever garbage the Blaze spits out and believes it like it's gospel.

    In light of current developments I'm thinking of doing a Fake News audit of this forum for 2016. See who has posted how many in new threads during ... and how big the gap is between cal and "field".

    Would you be interested in helping? Maybe a few other "flaming libs" could join in as well to distribute the load. There's only about 56 pages of treads started in 2016.

  • Well, libs will be starting them when Trump is in office, like the eight years of Bush's presidency.

    Have a nice day and quit whining, only 5 weeks away !

  • You really don't know anything about how to win, do you?

  • I voted for Trump, Hillary athletic supporter.

    You mean the gap from 1 to 2? Or like military spending, the gap between 1 and 'the total of everyone else'?
