POLL: Obama approval at new low... Rate of Americans in workforce hits 35-year-low... 1 Million Californians Having Insurance Cancelled Drudge Report.com *************************************************** In September, the labor force participation rate was 63.2 percent, but in October it dropped to 62.8 percent—the lowest it has been since February 1978, when Jimmy Carter was president. The labor force, according to BLS, is that part of the civilian noninstitutional population that either has a job or has actively sought one in the last four weeks. The civilian noninstitutional population consists of people 16 or older, who are not on active-duty in the military or in an institution. At no time during the presidencies of Ronald Reagan, George H.W. Bush, Bill Clinton or George W. Bush, did such a small percentage of the civilian non-institutional population either hold a job or at least actively seek one. And, thanks to Puppettax, more and more of those that are employed have part time jobs, or have seen their hours cut to less than 30. Of course, The Puppet simply waived his hand a few weeks ago and declared that 30 hours is now full time employment. and he calls this job creation |

It's baked into the ACA.If you're going to huff and puff, try having the facts on your side first, at least some of the time. |

Someone was quoted by Spiegel (sp?) on 98Rock as saying the Federal site would not be ready by the end of November as promised. That for every bug they stomp three more appear. I have worked on software like that. In general this sort of occurrence, happening regularly, is a sign the system was poorly designed or poorly implemented or both. It will take them months to get it working properly if that is true.

He's the one that signed Puppettax, he's the one that decided that 30 hours would henceforth be "full time". And it was because he knew that he was losing the employment battle. In fact, it was his surrender document to that. |

You do realize that Obama had little to do with the writing of the legislation that colloquially bears his name, correct? And that the definition I quoted applies only to the ACA? That would be "wave" his hand. |

Just like he "magically" reduced unemployment from over 8% to 7.8%, by simply declaring "there just aren't as many jobs as there were, so unemployment dropped." |

BTW. That's not how unemployment is dropping. The labor participation rate is dropping and right now it's at the lowest point since Jimmy Carter. Less people in the pool means lower unemployment rates. It's not a good thing either. |

You don't remember when The Puppet was crowing that unemployment was finally "under 8%"? and it had been something like 8.2% the month before, and the "jobs created" numbers didn't match it? He simply said that there just weren't as many jobs, so the unemployment was lower. |

Please show us a link as to how I've got it wrong. |

I didn't say they calculated it differently now, I just said that The Puppet and his Merry Marxists spin it differently.

A GOP president and his band of Ghengis Khans would do it differently? The last GOP President didn't have to. Of course, his was probably actually about 6%, rather than the 4.7% that was used, but if it was very far off, the LR media would have crucified him for "lying". In the case of The Puppet, they simply regurgitate whatever they are told to say. |

Bush's last full month came after 2 full years of Democrat control of both houses of Congress. He signed stuff he should have burned instead. |

While true to a point, the Repubs tried, 11 times, during Bush's 2 terms, to reign in, or even audit Fannie and Freddie, and the Dems refused to allow it. Raines was the boyfriend of a certain Senator, and he didn't want to have to answer questions about what Fannie Mae was doing. |
