Trump Says "Real" Unemployment Rate is 42%

[eagle1462010]

My mom's retired, I'm retired, my brother works, his wife is retired, my two sisters work.

So there's 50% Trump unemployment right in my family circle, lol.

And btw, that would 0% unemployment by normal measure.

You retire in your 50s now? Kinda like Greece retire at 48....You certainly get around for a retired guy..I guess That Viagra is wonder drug

Just for your info:
Greece's retirement age is 67.

And in 2012 they ranked as the hardest workers in Europe...

I was surprised too

Not all were at the age of 67..............Pensions from the gov't were at lower rates..................Greece borrowed it's ass off for the Olympics and were just hanging on from that debt when the crash occurred and couldn't get back on it's feet................and so it doubled down on the problems to insolvency......Since they and Europe foolishly went to the Euro..............they couldn't print more of their own money to deflate their currency to do as most of the world is doing now.............China, Japan, and ourselves print the currency out the wazoo or we'd all be insolvent already..................The EU just holds the cards for the currency manipulation.................Spain, Portugal, and Italy are all in similar boats...............Only a couple of countries in the EU don't have to borrow to pay their bills.

NYcarbineer is correct. Eagle is blowing a gasket. Tell both sides 'ABC", Anybody But Clinton, Anybody But Cruz.

Perhaps you idiots can create some more 30 hour work week jobs with something similar to Obamacare...............Again, Idiots wrote that clause and put millions in that group as well............But hey............they are employed right..............just that they need a second job to get 40 hours because of the BS Obamacare that you shoved down the people's throats.

The lies just keep on coming. No matter how many times GOP hate radio propaganda is exposed for the lie it is, gullible suckers like you swallow their bullshit and beg for more.

The number of people working PT for economic reasons has gone DOWN since Obamacare was passed.
That's right, there are almost 3 million LESS people working PT for economic reasons today then when Obamacare was passed!!!!!

In some ways yes.................Obama got elected the first time to the anybody but another Bush Campaign...............and of course the Black Vote.............with Hillary it will be the 1st Woman Prez...........campaign................and stop the War on Women................

I've already stated Ben Carson would garner the Black vote should he be the candidate...............and that would hose over the DNC strategy........It would take away from the Black vote and give the GOP the advantage................He's for securing the border...........He's for a simplified tax system........He's against the Iran deal........He's for not gutting the military...........He's for reducing the size of the Gov't..............His only problem is he's SOFT SPOKEN and that may not be great against the CORRUPT MUD SLINGING CAMPAIGN of Hillary and the DNC...............They don't really run on the issues............we already know where they stand on the issues as they are the same as always.......................They bitch at other people's Ideas and give no substance in return............Just talk in circles and promise Free Shit while promoting Class and Racial Warfare in this country. It's normal..........With illegals vote early and vote often and we'll make you a citizen and give you free shit.

the urge to demean is strong in the leftists...

they can't help themselves. You see any of the Democrats running for President talking about jobs, unemployment, our broken Immigration, boarders etc., things that are IMPORTANT to the American citizen? No they talk about how much FREE stuff they think their Subjects should receive VIA from the TAXPAYERS. like free college, free housing, etc. so they resort to he old standard of smearing, tearing down, the other candidates. typical dirty politics

It's what they always do................There plan for the border.............bring us more voters...........
Even though the Unions want it.............no tariffs because they want cheap labor as well and MORE VOTES.
Economy.............raise minimum wages and raise taxes.
Then the usual War on Women.........Black Lives matter.........and Universal Health Care..............

Their tactics are the same. Their Ethics are the same. They openly lie and violate the Constitution and then cheer about it and the average citizen wanting to keep all the hand outs will still vote for them. They've run places like Detroit into the ground. Business is leaving California in droves.............They want to Detroit the entire country with their stupidity.

Then the RINO's like them want to appease the Chamber for cheap labor...............We have the most corrupt politicians money can buy now, and they will continue to screw the people until this country economically implodes.

Agree with everything. this Federal Government and many STATE governments now are so corrupted, we the people don't stand a chance. But when you have a Citizenry that isn't Informed or Engaged this was bound to happen, I guess. Will the people wake before it's too late.

We already have this FEDERAL government under Obama FORCING us to purchase something or be FINED. what country are we living in. the federal government is suppose to protect us not freaking going around FINNING us for not buying something. We have STATE Governments that is suppose to be in charge of most of this stuff.....but his Federal Government has now grown into A MONSTER that is getting ready to CONSUME us with their Demands for more and more Money .......it's all fxxked up

As I stated a long time ago he put the lower % in the same answer..................You can't sell me that this isn't a miss speak situation............

It was not a mis-speak, Drumpf got it from his MessiahRushie who got it from David Stockman who pulled it out his ass.
Admit it, Drumpf is too stupid to know how dumb Porky is who is too dumb to know how stupid Stockman is!

[edthecynic]

I don't believe Trump intended to quote that 42 % number..........If he keeps using it.........then maybe I'll agree.............The first number given in that response was more accurate....................the 22% or so figure

You never believe the truth, and 22% is no more accurate than Drunpf's phony 42%.

Even using the few figures he cites, I'm trying really hard to determine how he arrives at the idea that 134 million people are out of work.

Don’t forget in the meantime we have a real unemployment rate that’s probably 21%. It’s not 6. I’s not 5.2 and 5.5. Our real unemployment rate–in fact, I saw a chart the other day, our real unemployment–because you have ninety million people that aren’t working. Ninety-three million to be exact.

If you start adding it up, our real unemployment rate is 42%.

Donald Trump Explains All

You know what he is doing, if you don't I do....

He is blowing away the PC police, he is confusing the hell out of the think tanks...

He is erratic ... He is not going to do what he says. Its just hyperbole

 

[Wyatt earp]

Trump understands the media real well.

The best defense is a great offensive
and that's what he is doing.

You can try to pick apart every word he says

 

[eagle1462010]

Trump understands the media real will.

The best defense is a great offensive
and that's what he is doing.

He's tapping into the people of this country that are fed up with Washington...................

WOW! Outdated charts are supposed to support your lies?
There were 9,233,000 working PT for economic reasons when the ACA was signed and there are 6,325,000 now.
There were 138,751,000 total employed when the ACA was passed and 148,840,000 now, which is even more than were employed at the height of the Bush bubble of 146,595,000 total employed.
That's right, there are more Americans working now than ever in the history of this great country that Drumpf and the Right hope to destroy.

That chart is actually misleading as it combines both those working PT for economic reasons which is decreasing with those who ONLY want PT work which is increasing.
