The 2011 Depression

[delldude]

So if I post the exact same video (unedited by the way) and and the exact same numbers from another site, one that meets your approval, then what? They are correct?

Really?

You are better than that my freind.

 
It doesn't matter who's site it is.
 
5% of the workforce under Bush does not equate to the same 5% of the workforce under Obama.
 
The workforce number has changed quite a bit between the two administrations.
 
BLS

Ah the George Soros/ Hillary Clinton created website.
 
You're overlooking one little thing. Under Bush, the 5% rate had something like 96 million more people working, under Obama that 5% has 96 million less.

96 million is 5% of almost 2 billion.  Not that many people living in this country, let alone in the work force.

You need new batteries for your calculator.
 

 
The 102.159 million Americans not working in December is not the all-time record of Americans not working. That all-time record was set in October, 2013, at 102.896 million. The employment-population ratio that month was an even more pitiful 58.2%.

You know what began in 2008/2009? The first baby-boomers started turning 62.

"In a nutshell, the baby boomers have aged and are now finally retiring en masse. After bulging into the workplace in the 1970s, women are no longer the force in the labor market they once were. Younger people are opting to educate themselves rather than work. And a less-than-friendly tone toward immigrants is shrinking the supply for some high-skilled jobs.

All told, it's likely to be a drag on the U.S. economy for years to come.

The U.S. economy has created 11.5 million new jobs during the last 57 consecutive months of domestic labor force expansion. And there were nearly 5.4 million open jobs at the end of May – more than twice as many vacancies as there were six years ago."

Yeah and due to economic conditions, decided the hell with it and threw in the towel. Many would have still been working.

Information is so readily available.

"As mentioned previously, the labor force is made up of the employed and the unemployed. The remainder—those who have no job and are not looking for one—are counted as not in the labor force. Many who are not in the labor force are going to school or are retired. Family responsibilities keep others out of the labor force. Since the mid-1990s, typically fewer than 1 in 10 people not in the labor force reported that they want a job."


That's just a tidbit... Those interested in learning vs. throwing hyperbolic crap at the wall can look at the link, or any number of other sources of unbiased information.

"Since the mid-1990s, typically fewer than 1 in 10 people not in the labor force reported that they want a job."

It would be enough, and serious enough, to talk about that 10%

Does Obama get credit for getting us out of the 2011 Depression?

No, a full scholarship to West Point.

Like everyone else who read the poster?

If we are out, why hasn't the Fed raised interest rates?
 
Oh.....its going to leave a recession on O's legacy.

 

[Ifly2]

They will, probably next month, certainly before anyone finds anything to actually file any charges against Hillary with.

[Veritas777]

That is patently false.

 

[Ifly2]

Ok,
We'll all believe it is patently false
As soon as you post credible data to support your declaration
