The Obamamas of the world rely on economic illiterates like u and jelly in order to stay in power. IQ tests will eventually be needed prior to receiving the ability to vote in national elections in order to repair the damage done from the decline of voter IQ in this country.

TWo things to keep in mind. Hiring in Oct, Nov, and Dec, always spikes up for seasonal Holidays. The other thing is that the Labor Force decline in October, which is why the Unemployment Rate looks like it improved. Labor Force Participation is still declining. The bottom line is the ratio of workers to non-workers is declining and that is very bad for the future of this country, because that means more people getting money from the government and fewer paying into the system. Just how sustainable is that? No matter how many lies we tell ourselves through the Unemployment Rate's bogus declines, the fact is that the structural decline in the number of people earning money instead of receiving welfare is going to kill our government's finances. In addition, the Keynesian policies responses of money printing and endless stimulus will destroy our currency and open the door for China and others to increase their share of the world's markets and take our currency reserve status. When that happens, we're really screwed, because we won't be able to print money and borrow endlessly anymore. Then we'll be forced to go through what Greece is going through. The bottom line is that in 2009, if we had designed a plan to destroy the finances and economy of this country, then the actions we have taken since then have conformed to that plan alarmingly well. We've made every mistake possible.
