Fox Reports That 98,000,000 Americans Out Of Work

[gipper]

It could be fuckin true with the way the numbers have been manipulated over the years. Once you count person not working different that person's not seeking work for more than two weeks (seriously) then we may actually have 98 million out of work. I don't know why we don't count unemployement the way we use to which is a person who has been out of work for a year. That seems to make more sense and more accurate. Of course, politicians will have to answer to that which is why making the numbers look good may benefit them.

The only way America can have 98 million out of work is if you count babies and seniors.

Wrong. It is the number of Americans over the age of 16 not working.

If big ears were an R, this would be a huge story.

I was an R for thirty years.....then the party turned into a rich man's tool. I wouldn't vote for another Republican if they were born with golden ass holes.

You are terribly uninformed. Both parties are tools of the wealthy. If you don't know that, you don't know much.

You don't know that cankles is completely owned by the .1%?

I was a Republican for thirty years. I voted for Eisenhower, Goldwater, Nixon three times and even Reagan the first time. When I spotted his agenda, cutting tax rates for the rich, continuing to spend like a drunk sailor and borrowing money from foreign banks I didn't show up at the polls for twenty years. There was essentially no debt till the Republicans began to slash tax rates for the rich:

[edthecynic]

LIAR!

 

[edthecynic]

Job growth didn't begin until republicans took over congress.

Then the GOP Congress owns the 98 million not working.
Thank you.

 

[edthecynic]

It is the number of Americans over the age of 16 not working.

Which includes students who didn't drop out of High School at 16, Students who went to college, stay at home spouses, retirees, the disabled, family caregivers, etc. none of whom want a job.

 

[rightwinger]

What does Bush have to do with the fact that almost 100 million Americans don't want to work under Obama, when they can get free gold teeth and spinners for their car?


.

Never saw a retiree with spinners on their car
Gold teeth? yea

 

[imawhosure]

If that's even close to the truth nobody had a job under Bush:

I get so tired of these feeble excuses from all you lefties of who/whom is working, and who/whom is not.

Why don't all of you just look at what the government says instead of making stuff up? You tout your 4.9% unemployment rate that the government feeds you, but then ignore when they tell you who is and is not working along with percentages from the past.

So here, I went and found for you what the government actually says, and it doesn't back up your assertion on which groups are, and are not working!

Civilian labor force participation rate by age, gender, race, and ethnicity

What is your point, if you have one?

 

[sealybobo]

If that's even close to the truth nobody had a job under Bush:

They count kids, seniors stay at home parents and the disabled

Funny you guys said bill sucked when his economy rocked. You said bush was good when he wasn't and you aren't happy that Obama fixed Bush's mess

Nope, just to expose the complete stupidity of the 98 million bullshit.

 

[mudwhistle]

they count over-time as another job

LIAR!

Didn't you know that?
Also, people that work 2 and 3 jobs are counted as 2 and 3 separate jobs.....giving the impression that it's 2 or more separate people doing those jobs. Many people have to do more than one job to pay their bills.

Another fun fact that Democrats pushed at us was that collecting welfare and disability gives people time to do other things.....like painting and sculpting and voting for more Democrats..... and voting for bigger government.

 

[mudwhistle]

Trust the government's numbers?

Bureau of Labor Statistics Data

Well.....it shows only 94 million.

I saw that, regardless it's 90+ million, when you get that high "what difference does it make?!?!!?"

How does that work?

These numbers come from calling workers not employers. If you are called and asked if you are working and say I am working three jobs, they do not record three people working

I think you are just making shit up

I know it is a lie, and you know it too!

but Obama said that economy was booming as if it was 1995 in the SOTU address,,,,was he lying?

What difference does it make?

If we have people who are not in the workforce because they are supported by parents, a spouse or a retirement check....why do you care?

 

[rightwinger]

1995....Clinton years
Those were good years

Looks like we need another Clinton
