The Obama Recovery Is So Darn Good…

Labor force shrinks againThe recovery is so damn good that more people stopped looking for work than found a job in January.  Around 157,000 became employed while 169,000 people left the labor force.

Since Obama came to office 8.5 million Americans have left the labor force.  That means that there are 8.5 million fewer jobs in the country than when Obama took office. (Real  unemployment is 14.4%)

Yeah, we’ve got a lot more paper pushers in the government, a lot more government spending, and 8.5 million fewer consumers earning their own income, instead of needing to live off of yours.  Everyone who can do basic math knows how well that is going to turn out.  Good thing the government schools don’t teach that the way they used to.  Math, I mean.
