What you're saying is true now, and it was also true under previous Presidents. Unemployment has been undercounted in the United States for a while, and the plunge in employment predates Obama - although he certainly is responsible for the lack in upturn.


Weird, the chart of government employment coincides directly with your chart. So let's recap. Republicans chant to cut government spending for 6 years. Government spending is cut, which reduces jobs. Now, Republicans are screaming about unemployment and workforce participation.
So "do this, do this, do this" it happens, now it's "your fault, your fault, your fault". Awesome. -

"But the terms of the bailout were so severe that Greek living standards plunged. Formerly, middle-class Greeks were forced to beg and live without heat. Unemployment surged to 25 percent, and – this is key – youth unemployment reached 60 percent (both figures have dropped only slightly in the last four years). Despite large cutbacks in public spending, services and workers, Greece’s economy and debt problems have gotten worse."

If more Americans wanted to mow lawns, build houses, clean houses, or work in restaurant kitchens, the demand for illegal labor wouldn't exist.d2d said:
The "FUCKING SYSTEM"? Obamacare killing full time employment. Now, Obama just issued 5.5 million work visas to illegals to kill everything else. But it's NOT Obama's fault? It's either George Bush or the Fucking System. OBAMA IS THE FUCKING SYSTEM!dnc said:

Un-fucking-believable. Instead of addressing the problem in front of you, blame Bush? It never gets old, does it?HeretoBeatmyChest said:Since the 1980s the government has tweaked the way economic stats are reported. Its like grade inflation in school. Each administration has tweaked the reporting criteria a bit more than the last guy. Remember, the right wingers were bragging about how great the Bush economy was when it didn't jive with reality.
This link shows what unemployment would be if you calculated it the way it was done decades ago and included non-full time workers (i.e part time & those who dropped out of labor force).

Of course, if people understan what unemployment numbers actually count, it's not really a huge problem.

I don't have a party and the issue in Greece was that the government controls too much of the economy hence the crash when they could no longer extort enough taxes to support the utopian society they had built with other people's money. The Germans had to bail them out.2001400ex said:

It's happening in Brazil and Venezuela now, a couple of countries your dear leader who isn't responsible for anything admires and would like to be like.
But still.... the next good point you make without stepping all over you tiny dick will be the first. You're getting schooled by a drug addicted psychopath.
Good effort good job -

Oh wait they do but somehow millions of illegals drove down wages. Odd, Obama said they raise wages.
Can't figure it out - is he lying or stupid? -
Nice rant. But if we did the same austerity measures here, we'd have the same issue. Think about it, let's just cut government jobs and our programs to pay for housing and food for the poor. And cut taxes on the rich. Ohhh yeah, almost forgot, we need to increase military spending too.RaceBannon said:
