Almost 93 million Americans out of work...

No, I meant 92,898,000 Americans are not in the labor force according to the BLS. I didn't mean to be that tricky. If you don't have a job then you're included as in jobless for whatever reason you want to cite. Originally Posted by JD Barleycorn

Take your shitty argument to Obama and his Bureau of Labor Statistics.

It does hit "close to home" with many/most U.S. citizens and they ask: "Where?"

LMAOing, name-calling, marginalizing critics, and pure ugliness is not a "solution."

Gasoline prices are going back up, as predicted by people who know in the petroleum business, and those who were running their mouths about it was a plus for Obaminable when gasoline prices fell will call those who turn it back on them "idiots" and "racists" for suggesting he is to blame for the prices going up again ....

it's what liberals do.

My frustration comes from the FACT that you will never understand because your head is so far up your partisan ass that you can't see straight.. I give you numbers and the source, and you publicly choose not to believe them. That says so much more about you than anything.

Here is a favorite word of the Obama adminstration: Robust Care to explain what that means from the leftie point of view.

That 93 million includes babies, do you see them not having a job as a problem?? That includes seniors, that have retired and are possibly living comfortably on their life's earnings and/or social security, pensions etc. Hell, that number even includes those trust fund babies who've never tried to work a day in their life and never will, because they are doing so well they don't have to. So tell me, JD, what exactly were you trying to prove with that number?
My guess is, other than fueling unfounded hysteria, absolutely NOTHING.

I just get sick of the ones that as soon that there is a small upturn they jump in poor mouthing any numbers. If there was a republican president you would be trumpeting the recovery.

Tell us J.D. if there are 93 million people out of work, why did the republican party vote not extend unemployment benefits beyond 6 months. They voted for the extension in 2009 and 2010.

Why do you believe that it is the sole responsibility for the government to misuse taxpayers money to support EVERYONE without a job? No wonder you're a libtard. If we had a recovery this slow (and it is very slow) then we would be looking for a new candidate moron. We would not be circling the wagons to protect him.

Typical republican. Make error after error without realizing it or actually apologizing for once.The BLS comes up with lots of numbers, doesn't mean you should start a new thread about each one. You have yet to prove the slightest relevance that this number has to anything even slightly political or economical. And you have the gall to defend yourself.

When exactly did I say that? the amount of sense you make by making up bullshit like this is exactly equal to the amount of relevance your "93 million Americans" number has to any issue in our economy: ZERO. Maybe if you said "93 million people in America do not work" or something like that, it would at least make halfway more sense. Then the only question would be "why the fuck is this in the political thread?" Instead your title is "93 million out of work!". Last time I did, I didn't look at a baby and go, "Oh look, that toddler is out of work! What a lazy cunt!"

Company officers, supervisors, engineers, plant workers, offshore personnel, pilots, support staff/secretaries, drivers, and station owners/operators. Some are headquartered in the local area, and others spend most of their time traveling overseas.
