It seems to me you're deflecting, the number of people who dropped out of the work force(gave up) are never recorded in the U3. Every year for many, many decades of this number steadily increasing and somehow the so called "unemployment" rate never reflects this... Something stinks.Of course the real number has sucked for many, many decades. The federal government can not look bad, can they? They have to look like they are doing something, that being nothing for the people but something like busy work.Any businessman knows about U6, and that the politically correct progressives always use the U3 to cover for the federal government from both sides of the isle...Certainly not in public school... Lol
Read the question again, Rustic.....
Read the question again, Rustic......
U3 has been the headline number for decades.......
What comes to business the federal government is amateur hour
Let me know when you find yourself willing to answer the question.....
Brainwashed blame the poor...The USA is the only modern country in the world where full time workers live in poverty and have no health care (750k bankruptcies a year, most HAVE insurance - crap insurance!)After 30 years of Voodoo: worst min. wage, work conditions, illegal work safeguards, vacations, work week, college costs, rich/poor gap, upward social mobility, % homeless and in prison EVAH, and in the modern world!! And you complain about the victims? Are you an idiot or an A-hole?What a pile of crap. Did you notice our infrastructure is falling apart under idiotic Reaganism? Your town could be Flint any day now, cars get thousands of dollars of damage from potholes, our airports and ports etc etc are a joke compared to other modern countries. Brainwashed functional morons...Bad idea but they been trying to tax everything they can to pay their special interest projects and cronies.
If the deadbeat moochers got off their fat lard asses and worked you would have money for infrastructure.
You know, when someone comes off with calling these people victims, I have to think that you have never actually known any groups of people sucking off the system, or you are one yourself and fear losing your free ride.Brainwashed blame the poor...The USA is the only modern country in the world where full time workers live in poverty and have no health care (750k bankruptcies a year, most HAVE insurance - crap insurance!)After 30 years of Voodoo: worst min. wage, work conditions, illegal work safeguards, vacations, work week, college costs, rich/poor gap, upward social mobility, % homeless and in prison EVAH, and in the modern world!!

The Demise of the American Middle Class In Numbers.
Over the past 30 years the American dream has gradually disappeared. The process was slow, so most people didn’t notice. They just worked a few more hours, borrowed a little more and cut back on non-essentials. But looking at the numbers and comparing them over long time periods, it is obvious that things have changed drastically. Here are the details:
1. WORKERS PRODUCE MORE BUT THE GAINS GO TO BUSINESS.
Over the past 63 years worker productivity has grown by 2.0% per year.
But after 1980, workers received a smaller share every year. Labor’s share of income (1992 = 100%):
1950 = 101%
1960 = 105%
1970 = 105%
1980 = 105% – Reagan
1990 = 100%
2000 = 96%
2007 = 92%
A 13% drop since 1980
2. THE TOP 10% GET A LARGER SHARE.
Share of National Income going to Top 10%:
1950 = 35%
1960 = 34%
1970 = 34%
1980 = 34% – Reagan
1990 = 40%
2000 = 47%
2007 = 50%
An increase of 16% since Reagan.
3. WORKERS COMPENSATED FOR THE LOSS OF INCOME BY SPENDING THEIR SAVINGS.
The savings Rose up to Reagan and fell during and after.
1950 = 6.0%
1960 = 7.0%
1970 = 8.5%
1980 = 10.0% – Reagan
1982 = 11.2% – Peak
1990 = 7.0%
2000 = 2.0%
2006 = -1.1% (Negative = withdrawing from savings)
A 12.3% drop after Reagan.
4. WORKERS ALSO BORROWED TO MAKE UP FOR THE LOSS.
Household Debt as percentage of GDP:
1965 = 46%
1970 = 45%
1980 = 50% – Reagan
1990 = 61%
2000 = 69%
2007 = 95%
A 45% increase after 1980.
5. SO THE GAP BETWEEN THE RICHEST AND THE POOREST HAS GROWN.
Gap Between the Share of Capital Income earned by the top 1%
and the bottom 80%:
1980 = 10%
2003 = 56%
A 5.6 times increase.
6. AND THE AMERICAN DREAM IS GONE.
The Probably of Moving Up from the Bottom 40% to the Top 40%:
1945 = 12%
1958 = 6%
1990 = 3%
2000 = 2%
A 10% Decrease.

I already have health care, why should I pay that much to get less, and even more to the point, why should I pay that much to get the same care that some worthless leach has?That's for health care instead of higher health premiums duh...not according to your boy bernie, he said that the middle class would see a 5000 a year tax increase, then there is your currenty boy bammy, he wants to raise the tax on fuel by another 22 cent, do only rich people drive or is there some slight chance that the middle class and poor have to put gas in their car too.The Dems ONLY want taxes on the bloated rich and giant corps, dupes.No more taxes asshole.

Do we need to talk about Obama’s $10-per-barrel oil tax proposal?
'Obama aides told POLITICO that when he releases his final budget request next week, the president will propose more than $300 billion worth of investments over the next decade in mass transit, high-speed rail, self-driving cars, and other transportation approaches designed to reduce carbon emissions and congestion. To pay for it all, Obama will call for a $10 “fee” on every barrel of oil, a surcharge that would be paid by oil companies but would presumably be passed along to consumers.
There is no real chance that the Republican-controlled Congress will embrace Obama’s grand vision of climate-friendly mobility in an election year—especially after passing a long-stalled bipartisan highway bill just last year—and his aides acknowledge it’s mostly an effort to jump-start a conversation about the future of transportation. But by raising the specter of new taxes on fossil fuels, it could create a political quandary for Democrats. The fee could add as much as 25 cents a gallon to the cost of gasoline, and even with petroleum prices at historic lows, the proposal could be particularly awkward for Hillary Clinton, who has embraced most of Obama’s policies but has also vowed to oppose any tax hikes on families earning less than $250,000 a year.'

I say no to the idea, and in another thread I pointed out that Texas drive pays thirty-eight cents a gallon just in taxes and he want it to go over sixty cents in taxes per gallon?
So right now I drive a truck that has a twenty-four gallon tank and let round up to forty cents a gallon for taxes and that is $9.60 in taxes for me per tank and now he want me to pay $14.40 in taxes per tank?
I also fill up twice a week because of my travel so that would be $28.80 per week in taxes and that is $1497.60 in taxes per year he want me to pay on top of other taxes?
No thank you...
Those roads you drive on......do they require any kind of maintenance?
Let the local municipalities decide how to fund local needs. There is no reason a farmer in Iowa should pay for major infrastructure in California.Do we need to talk about Obama’s $10-per-barrel oil tax proposal?

As a matter of fact they do. I also currently pay a gas tax, and a license fee for each of my vehicles, which are supposed to go into road and bridge maintenance. Let's not forget the ever present tolls, now even found on the Interstates for the Lexus Lanes.Do we need to talk about Obama’s $10-per-barrel oil tax proposal?

not in Maryland, there is no maintenance on roads in Maryland, I have an off road 4x4 and some of the roads around here are actually damaging to the truck. Destroyed a 500 dollar rim om my wifes car a couple months back when I drove through what can only be described as the grand canyon.Let the local municipalities decide how to fund local needs.

Those "interstates" are maintained by the states.

that is what the original state gas taxes were for, but the mingled into general and now claim they don't have any. But the illegals get many free burrito.
State's bear only part of the burden of servicing and/or expanding interstate highways......

I think the bloated rich is anyone that makes more than I do. My pay should be the cutoff for not paying taxes. If I make more, the cutoff moves. Just as long as Im not being asked to pay, everyone else is fair game.The Dems ONLY want taxes on the bloated rich and giant corps, dupes.No more taxes asshole. You thieves steal enough of my check.
What's your definition of bloated rich? Or giant corp?
How high should we raise taxes on them?
Repairing them requires construction workers. Which have been going through broad across the board layoffs.Do we need to talk about Obama’s $10-per-barrel oil tax proposal?
