Look Lumpy, you need to stop saying that this was from 2012 and therefore cannot be talked about.

If you were blaming Obama for these numbers in 2012, then you ought to do one of these intellectually honest things:

1. Credit Obama for current much improved measures you yourself selected as significant in 2012.
OR
2. Admit that you were just full of politico BS in 2012 and that we shouldn't mindlessly blame president for anything and everything that happens in economy.

Then why record number of people are on welfare?

Because the party that controls congress won't lower the income threshold that qualifies people for government assistance.

For instance, why won't republicans change the qualifying amount to 10k. You make over 10k a year, no government benefits. Period. End of story.

You would support that. Right? Why won't the republicans in congress do that?

Because Obama would veto it. See how that works, then liberals would say. See republicans want to kill the poor.

Well no duh. How many times did republicans vote to repeal Obama care? And won't even try to reduce the government benefit rolls the easiest way possible. Change the criteria.

Did you know republicans purposed expanding the EITC? More government handouts from republicans. WTF?

Make him do it. Make him veto constantly then hammer Clinton for wanting to continue his policies.

No, more than likely they know he would sign it and ruin their narrative.

You can talk all you want but I don't have to, have fun. I'm generally only responding to the anal retentives such as yourself, for fun.

No sir, you are straight up degenerate unfit for conversing with adults. Good day.

I guess there are those that took the bait hook line and sinker. The key factor is worker participation in the work force (lowest in over 34 years, then you have the growth in number of food stamp recipients. Oh Thank you Mr President, you managed to knock America down several rungs on the ladder, now we can be just like Europe. Great job blow hard.

It is a key factor because you are a righty. Somehow that's what it takes to believe that economy is hinged on that well forecasted factor.

This graph doesn't include flattening of LFPR for the past two years, but the point is it doesn't matter how good the economy is doing, LFPR would still be on decline due to changing demographics. Conversely, prior to 2000 LFPR was increasing even through recessions as more women joined the workforce and baby boomers were entering prime working age.
