ROFL!

ILA links to nothing but another angry Op-ed piece.

Filled with little "qualifiers" like:

"We question why the labor participation rate plunged for teenagers and suspect that..."

"We can assuredly assume..."

And you know what happens when you ASSume, right?

As Liberals have pointed out for years, record numbers of baby boomers reached retirement age and retired over the past 8 years, driving down the labor participation rate.

As liberals have pointed out? No economists have pointed it out?

The reason it's relevent is explaining why the unemployment rate is where it is and why there's such economic anxiety with such a low rate. That's fact.
 
Imagine how fast Obama would run away with this election if he were allowed a third term.

Oh I don't know. That fact that he had some really significant accomplishments coming after a Republican President who was the most inept Chief Executive in our nations history after Warren G. Harding may have something to do with it.

Ya know? A politician who doesn't have a self fulfilling prophecy for failed government like his predecessor had. Like Bush, who thought government was the problem, got elected, and proved it.

So, what do you think was more incompetent in Harding's administration: The economic recovery or his initiatives to expand Indian rights and combat lynching? I guess his arms reduction talks were pretty naive. Also, he should have left Debbs in prison instead of pardoning him.

government over-reach is a big problem. It's why it's so huge and unresponsive (hopefully you never have to deal directly with DC bureaurcrts)

why the deflection to Bush? I do give Obama credit for the recovery -i think it was poorly handled
( they repaved my little cul-de sac 3 times with Stimulus money) but that was emergency times.

Other then that....what has he accomplished but poiticizing government?
Transparency?accountability?

You know people say that flippantly and ideologically yet the devil is in the details. Governments big ugly hand usually comes into play because of a specific need that isn't being met or because of bad behavior by bad players forces government intervention. If you're going to play that game and expect people to take you seriously you have to point out the what areas there is specific over reach, the specific consequences involved and the specific remedies that you have for solving the problem and not just some glib anti-government rhetoric.

fair enough. There is WOTUS.
there is HUD telling local communities where to put Section 8 housing-regardless of the existing housing stock.
There is a generalized war on carbon,to the extent nat. gas is treated the same as coal - it's evil.

These are done by the ABC agencies- the regs are unchallengable for the most part, as SCOTUS gives defferance to the executive.

Fortunately, the US Constitution expressly forbids such nonsens. But I bet you and the rest of the brain damaged Liberals would love to see Chairman Maobama dictator for life.

Today President Obama has a 54% approval rating!

When was the last time we had a President with an approval rating over 54% at this point in his presidency?

Oh, that's right it was when Bill Clinton was president, almost 16 years ago.

What? No source?

As for popular opinion polls; they mean almost as much as popular opinion polls in elections.....NADA.

But hey, after even liberal idiots piss and moan how terrible things are with wages, employment opportunities and how divided the nation is, they don't have the intelligence to comprehend that Obama has been President for EIGHT fucking years.

Yes, Liberals are the dumbest, most repugnant hypocrites on the planet.

minimum wage. Minimum wage should be state at most. Preferably should be done by congressional district or smaller.

ONe of the reasons aside from not having any protectionist policies is that our minimum wages are too high accross the country. Yes it might not be enough for a NY dweller in brooklyn but it may be too much for someone in rural idaho.

The ideal situation is that instead of outsourcing to india, the richer parts of the country would outsource to the middle creating a better wealth distribution accross the country.

While I agree with those last couple sentences, how do we do that when the cost is still better for companies to go after the cheaper labor? If we pay middle America the same as those other countries, middle America becomes even more poverty stricken, and if we force corporations to move their workforce here at even current minimum wage we get accused of class warfare.

its where the trumpian protectionist policies come in. Which means companies that do that get rewarded. Companies that dont get get punished.

class warfare it is :)

Yet, 65% of the country thinks the country is on the wrong track. Why do you liberals think that is? Let me guess? GOP? Donald Trump? You would think that if Hillary is a lock they would think the country is on the right track.

Of course, a great deal of the 65% thinks the country is going in the wrong direction because it isn't moving to the Left fast enough.

But you go right on lying about the facts.

After all, it's what you do...it's ALL you do.
