Not since the one-termer Jimmy Carter was in office, who also got our Embassies Attacked and surrendered to Russia in watching them Invade Afghanistan, has our job force participation been so low.

You think unemployment is "down"? Wrong. the Unemployment rate is only a percentage of those still in the market for a job. In fact more than 1/3 of eligible Americans do not have a job. This occurs when they have lost their jobs and their unemployment benefits run out. They then no longer "count" in the official unemployment rate. While Obama was adamant on continuing benefits...even to the point of threatening a government shut down to get extensions...that was BEFORE he was re-elected.

Now he throws peple under the bus and hands billions in subsidies and tax breaks to the wealthiest Americans while more than ever have to beg the government for a handout.

PLUS his foreign policy sucks. Why did you Dems heave Hillary over the side for this guy?

Remember when unemployment was much lower under Bush and all you heard was that they were McJobs and did not count

When is the last time you heard progressives. Talking about McJobs

Progressives still talk about so called McJobs but now the point is that the wages are too low.

When they demand McJobs pay real money! After conceeding that their eco nomic plans suck and have destroyed not only good jobs but now they are in full frontal attack against anyone working more than 30 hours per week....and then demand that the part timers and burger flippers they created be paid the same as Nurses.

Good plan.
