I Want To Talk Politics

If you love living in relative freedom yet plan on voting for the Clinton woman or the 1930's communist - you show your insanity or complete lack of understanding.

Unemployment rate Feb 2009, just as the President was taking office: 8.3%

Unemployment rate Feb 2016: 4.9%

No, I'm not joking. This is a miraculous recovery from the worse economic crisis since the Great depression, and as bad as it was, it took about 20 years, and WWII spending, to get the country out of the Great depression.

Even if you go THE golden year, when the US was on top of the world: 1955. Unemployment rate for 1955 is 4.9%

When you get to 5% and below, it means that nearly every single person who wants to work, can have a job. Some people cannot work, or will not work.

100 M people out of work? If we would believe this number, and taking into consideration that unemployment stands at 4.9%, that means the US has more than 2 Billion potential worker, and a population of more than 3.25 Billion.
