Lol at comparing Obama to Reagan. That's an insult to any person who've served in our military.
According to the Bureau of Labor Statistics, back in January 2009 when
Barack Obama was sworn in, there were 2.6 million people unemployed for more than 6 months. By June 2012, the ranks of the long-term jobless soared more than 100 percent to 5.3 million.
Is it astounding that there are still people who believe the official unemployment figures? The unemployment figure measures only those unemployed who are actively searching for jobs. The Job Participation Rate is an accurate indication of the job market. It's the worst it's been in 36 years.
The Social Security Administration reported that in May 2012, the latest period for which statistics are available, more than 10 million people were receiving disability benefits at an annual rate of about $130 billion. T
hese people, incidentally, aren’t counted among the unemployed – another way the unemployment rate under-states the severity of our current crisis.
I could go on and on but had a couple beers this afternoon and ain't in the mood. If you're better off today than you were before Osama, all the power to you.
