So that's worse that disrespecting POW's and draft dodging with fake bone spurs in his heels. Ok.

Side note, Unemployment Rate dipped to 4.6% - http://data.bls.gov/timeseries/LNS14000000

We'll see what happens under a Trump admin/R Congress. Trump did say -
'The Economy Does Better Under The Democrats'

News Flash: Trump's an a-hole New Yorker.

I didn't vote for Trump b/c he's a polite politician. I voted for him b/c he's not Hillary, not John McCain, not Mich McConnell, John Boehner..

As for your unemployment numbers, you're posting Gov bullshite.

Thing are better despite Pres. Obama sinking BILLIONS into solar companies only to have the Chinese buy them at discount when they go bankrupt.

Our economy is better b/c of higher energy production. States like Indiana and Texas leading with business friendly policies.

I don't think we'll be seeing many US companies replacing their IT depts. with H1-B visas workers under Trump.

Southern California Edison IT workers 'beyond furious' over H-1B replacements

Fury rises at Disney over use of foreign workers
A restructuring and H-1B use affect the Magic Kingdom’s IT operations

Or forcing manufacturers to make products that have no market:

Or dumping billions into pet projects ( well maybe, but MX will pay for it. )

Scandal free indeed:

Pres. Obama had a chance to reform immigration and passed. In the meantime, he's used the subject to accuse republicans of being racist and xenophobic.

I'm pro immigration and would support a generous immigration policy. I'd just want American interest put first.

Not the corrupt import of low wage workers the D's, R's and Chamber of Commerce support.

Obama Admin. Admits It Failed to Check Some 175 Immigrants Against FBI Databases
In another embarrassment for U.S. Citizenship and Immigration Services, some 175 immigrants were approved for citizenship even though their names weren't properly run through the FBI's databases for background checks, The Washington Times reported.

The Obama administration admitted the breakdown in procedure and a halt was ordered for approving all new citizenship applications last week. Homeland Security officials blamed an ongoing process of digitalization for the problem, which affected about 15,000 applications.

Earlier this year, USCIS admitted it had mistakenly given citizenship to hundreds of criminals whose records went unnoticed, because the agency wasn't properly checking their fingerprints.

And just two weeks ago, Fox News' Tucker Carlson reported that the Department of Homeland Security acknowledged that tens of thousands of green cards went missing, which could be improperly used by terrorists, criminals, and undocumented aliens to remain in the United States.

Only 175?

So I have 1, 2, 3, people literally get upset with the low 4.6% Unemployment Rate, lowest in like 10 years, lower than when Obama took office. They probably realize it's going to go back up under Trump and they will twist themselves like a pretzel in the future when they try to explain how a higher Unemployment Rate is better than a lower one.

You're delusional

You're delusional

Will use this quote in the future when it goes back up and you do exactly that. Like a pretzel.

Unemployment rate is 4.9 percent, but a more realistic rate is higher than that

Now go google participation..

You seriously can't read a chart or link even after I posted it? It's was 4.9%, it's now 4.6% - http://data.bls.gov/timeseries/LNS14000000

Then you used a CNBC link from last month, not this month. You already got the graphic up for yourself, saves me some time.

If there was a Republican President in the White House right now, the reactions would be different. That's how you anger some Republicans/Conservatives, post positive news about America. If the roles were reversed and some Democrat President handed over the worst economy since the Great Depression to an incoming Republican, so bad the Unemployment rate went all the way up to 10%, and when that Republican left office, it was 4.6%, you Republicans would be happy about that.

Hmmm.. sound like you don't want to face reality. That's OK, let me help you.

PARTICIPATION RATE

Just ignore there are less people working but we don't count those b/c they've been unemployed so long.. or are working 2 or three part time jobs that aren't counted..

 

[JB Lions]

I understand how that works, works the same way when it was 10%. Little kids in preschool can understand simple stuff like 4.6 being less than 10. And when it goes back up, I want to see you posting in this thread the same stuff. Be consistent with it across the board.

You're full of shite.

 

[JB Lions]

Your chart is sh*t



You're full of sh*te.

It's not my chart, it's the official one. You really don't know this? As far as the second part, you know it's true. You guys would be giddy as hell if this happened under a Republican President.

Italy referendum exit polls suggest clear victory for 'No'
Renzi will resign midnight their time.
Which means, damn, no government for Italy for a bit.
Vote dropped the value of the Euro vs the Dollar.

I saw an article talking about the oldest person, who is 117 years old. The article mentioned she ad lived through 90 Italian governments, lol. Probably an article from The Onion, but still funny....

BO: Joe, we need some good news. The unemployment numbers look like shite.

JB: Hey Bro, why don't we just stop counting people without jobs?

BO: Joe, you're a genius.

Thanks for the link from the Conservative News Service.

What part of those factors are included in past numbers do you not get? Look how hard you're trying. Like I said, when it goes back up, don't disappear from this thread. I want to see the same posts from you. What will you be saying then?
