90,000,000 Americans have given up looking for work

This is the second time in this thread I have seen something like that. Odie used the word "arbitrary."

Incredible claims demand incredible proof.

One would think that the proof would have to be credible, to be proof.

Regardless, the changes in the labor force have reduced the labor participation rate to an all-time low. The proof was provided, you just don't want to see it.

According to the Washington Times, a study suggests the outflow of Mexican illegals has exceeded the inflow for the first time since the Great Depression. The bad news is the reason for this outcome is that under Obama there are not enough jobs, even those that native-born Americans will not do. Mexican illegal immigrants are increasingly braving their own country's drug violence in lieu of braving the bad economy in the U.S.

Incredible claims demand incredible proof.

After the parade of bald-faced public chicanery involved in the CBO's farcical cost analysis of Obamacare, there is nothing at all incredible about claims of government statistical manipulation.

IT's all right there in the numbers. Open your eyes...uncork your head and look. 2 million jobs have just magically disappeared since Obama took office.

The ONLY way the job universe shrinks...is if someone or some organizataion manipulates the numbers.

Now who would want to do that?

The number of jobs available peaked at 138 million just before Bush left office. 132 Million when he turned it over to Obama.

The number of jobs available is virtually at a standstill ever since, but the number of workers increases at a rate of about 1.5 million per year, so there are 6 million more people looking for a job now, than 4 years ago.

We need 150 million jobs to be available to support a population of 300 million people. 155 million would be better.
