On Voting Republicans Out Of Office

@Baldimo,

Of course you have people entering and leaving but the BLS uses person over the age of 16. You also have people over the age of 65 dying but the numbers have gone up dramatically.

The percentage of the US population over 65 has gone from about 12% to over 14% and is projected to be 20% by 2050.

Accusations without evidence would be lies, Pinkie. Otherwise we could simply accuse you of being a child molester.

Due to age you will always have people leaving and entering the work force.

There will be no numbers forthcoming from Parados unless they fit his narrative. Other statistics are part of the right wing conspiracy.

Nevermind they are accurate examples and proof of the mess the dickhead in chief has this country in.

So based on this agreement, you can't just say the lower # of people working in this country is accounted for by the older population retiring. So the retiring people should be offset by the #'s of younger people entering the work force, correct?

Destroying the evidence that would prove the charges is what? To me, and many many others, it is just as good as admitting guilt.

@Baldimo,

Your question doesn't make any sense. There will always be a rotation of older workers retiring while the young people get 'new' jobs. It depends on the location of where jobs are created or not based on averages of the country in which one lives, and their skill levels. Great Depressions and Great Recessions impact the world job markets, and how they impact industries based on supply and demand. Economics is cyclical, and nobody in this world is capable of predicting how any country or community will be impacted. Economics is an art, not science. There are just too many variables that cannot be predicted scientifically, and that includes the impact of politics of this world.

No. Nothing of the sort. The number of people reaching 65 each year and potentially retiring exceeds the number reaching 16 and entering the workforce.

From the US Census Bureau -

The please provide us with the numbers of workers 16-64 and how many are actually working. I'l bet you won't provide anything in response to this other than another RW meme that has no numbers.

Now let's look at the other numbers....

Food stamp Recipients up 46%

The number is off by about 10%

Americans in Poverty +23%

I guess if you count from 2 years before Obama took office you could make that claim.
Poverty rate in 2014 - 15%
Poverty rate in 2007 12.5%
That is only a 20% increase.
Poverty rate in 2009 (The year Obama actually took office) 14.5%
Poverty rate in 2008.(Before Obama took office) 13.2%
That isn't a 23% increase no matter how you want to slice the numbers.
Hey, your number is only off by 69% there, Pinkie

Health Insurance +17%
I'm unsure what that number is supposed to mean, 17% more people have health insurance? Or the cost of health insurance is up 17% since Obama took office. I'll assume the latter.
Health insurance costs going up 17% in 5 years is actually one of the lowest increases in any 5 year period since the 60s. Hardly a bad thing.
From 1991 to 2009 the average yearly increase was 5.3%. 17% over 4.5 years would be an average increase of under 3.8%.

Gasoline cost +79%
That's an interesting argument. Obama should interfere with the free market all of a sudden. But the cost of gasoline hasn't gone up 79% either.

http://www.eia.gov/dnav/pet/hist/LeafHandler.ashx?n=PET&s=EMM_EPM0_PTE_NUS_DPG&f=A
In 2008 the cost of gasoline was 3.299. In 2009 it was 2.406. In 2013 it was 3.575. Even if we take the low year, it still isn't a 79% increase.

@parados,

The real irony of ice brain bringing up the increase in fuel cost is not only a joke, but it's idiocy at its height of ignorance.

The average cost of fuel in the US is one of the lowest in any developed and many third world countries. The average cost in the US is $3.69.

Europeans pay almost double what Americans pay, and that's been going on for decades, not just a year or two.

Outhouse float. Very popular. Very popular. Heads up this article contains racism.

Quote:

We don’t feel its right to tell someone what they can and can’t express,” Konopasek told the Journal Star. “This was political satire. If we start saying no to certain floats, we might as well not have a parade at all.”

The parade committeeman noted that the float was a huge hit with most people who watched it proceed slowly by.

The float was so popular, in fact, that the parade judges felt compelled to give it an honorable mention in the awards ceremony.

“So should we deny the 95 percent of those that liked it their rights, just for the five percent of people who are upset?” he asked.

“This was a day to celebrate independence and part of that is speech and expression,” Konopasek added, according to the Journal Star.

or these...

Or the accusation that Bush deserted or used the ANG to avoid service.

I have seen all of these charges and more leveled against Bush and other repubs, all of them without any evidence.

So you admit they are all lies now?

Obama’s Collateral Damage – Small Dead Illegal Immigrant Children

Quote:

The government doesn’t want you to believe your lying eyes. Dead children are washing up on our riverbanks and our tax dollars support the invasion that helped end their lives. It’s only collateral damage. The end justifies the means as Alinsky and his followers would say.

She must have read my post earlier in the day. Do you think Republicans are wading in and drowning them?

I notice you won't place any money on what you claim to believe. That wouldn't be gambling if your beliefs were as real as you claim they are. It seems even you don't believe the **** you spout.
