So far i-node has changed from citing Obama for high gas prices (then they came way down), then for high unemployment (then unemployment came way down). The stock market doubles, and now i-node cites a long term trend, the number of people choosing to not seek employment. The percentage of people choosing to participate in the labor force was both higher and growing gangbusters when unemployment was at 9.6% in the 80s. I can pretty much guarantee you when this long term trend changes, i-node will state either that it is an irrelevant statistic, or that it would have turned around faster under the Republicans (you know, the folks who tanked the economy in the first place) were in charge. Inode is a good partisan and ideologue. That means he speaks with forked tongue most of the time. The Labor Participation Rate is like the Benghazi issue............its this amorphous stat that fluctuates over time and may or may not have any real meaning. So its become another way to try and discredit the president. I am so tired of their bile and prejudices.
