More shallowness. As everyone with any economic sense or intuition recognizes, Obama's policy has hindered, not helped the jobless recovery, which persists even today. As is evidenced by the fact that wage growth is totally stagnant even as the "official" unemployment rate has dropped (which should, of course, trigger wage growth). The reason is the labor force participation rate at a 30 or 40 year low. And getting worse.

Maybe you should notify Andrea Mitchell and NBC of your tremendous chart? Nobody believes with it, not even the lapdog liberals in the yellow press. NBC’s Mitchell Makes Painful Admission: She Agrees with ‘Partisan’ Reince Priebus NBC’s Andrea Mitchell struggled to get something off her chest during Sunday’s Meet the Press, regretfully informing her fellow panelists that she agrees with “partisan” RNC chairman Reince Priebus’s claim that unemployment is far worse that the White House would have Americans believe. Priebus had just spoken to Chuck Todd about Friday’s new jobs numbers, which saw unemployment drop to below 6 percent. The RNC head said that figure hid the true number of Americans out of work, noting that a record number have simply given up and dropped out of the labor force altogether. “You know — I’m not echoing Reince Priebus, because he is obviously partisan, and that’s his job,” she said haltingly. “But if you look at all the reporting from the jobs data on Friday reported that participation rates are at historic lows, decades lows. Fifty-nine percent are not involved in the labor force. That’s just not a sustainable recovery.”
