Your non-sequitur is summarily dismissed.Ah, yes, the golden days of Clinton. True, Obama is not Clinton when it comes to adding jobs, but he's no Bush either.Riiight ... because the BLS changed their methodologies when Obama became president.You have no concept of how employment figures are counted. They are reported the same as they have been for decades
Meh. I know people were happy during Clinton and Bush, during Obama most i know have had two or more jobs in any year since 2008. How ever they are counted they are bullshit.
Dont know. but the fact remains, more people are unemployed or are underemployed now then there were 16 years ago. Likely why sone are a bit put off at the prospect of four more years of Bamma.
There were 15.4 million people under/unemployed (U-6 rate) when they first started the current methodology in 1994.
There were 10.5 million when Clinton left office.
There 21.9 million when Bush left office.
There were 25.5 million at the end of Bush's Great Recession.
There are 15.4 million today.

Numberwise, there are 15.4 million under/unemployed, just as there was in January, 1994 ... only now the civilian non-institutional population is 29% larger.
You left a key number out. There are more than 10 million more FREELOADERS using food stamps than in 2008. Those belong to your BOY Obama.
