WOW!! Record 95 million not in work force!!

[imawhosure]

Federal interest rate increases will cause inflation, the car industry already has layoffs scheduled, retail stocks are taking a beating due to flat sales. Face it, Obama has set the stage for a bad economy.

Well we are going to find out how rigged the oligarch's have this economy. Continuing lower interest rates only makes the eventual nuclear bomb that much more catastrophic. Progressives done understand how this works. Sooner or later, massive inflation MUST come and they most definitely will be tied to FED interest rate hikes........even small ones.

Anybody can stop paying their mortgage at any time and these days, be just fine for 5....7 or more years. But eventually, the sheriff is coming to throw your ass out!!

Boomers.

There will be even more retiring...

Unbeknown to us, I think that this is probably why congress critters have allowed all the immigrants in, both legal and illegal.....to help fill this gap of workers they could see coming....

The Trump presidency is guaranteed to increase this number to more than 100 million before he leaves office.

These leftists are lying through their pearly whites, attempting to make excuses for the Obowelmovement participation rate.

Look at what the Government says; that is correct, the leftist government, proving that these leftists have no idea what they are talking about, and are just creating a phony talking point!

My 66 year old neighbor is going to start looking for a job on January 21st. True story.

I believe it, and that is very sad indeed. Although, he may be doing it because after he can collect benefits from S.S. at full retirement age, he pays no penalty no matter how much he makes.

In either case.......I wish him the best. Just think, if he gets a job, maybe we should ask the leftists on here that if he can do it, why can't some of them, lol!

I think low interest rates help us overall. How much foreign debt does the US hold? Interest has to be paid on foreign debt and a low Fed rate means we pay them a low interest rate. I predict deflation rather than inflation is on the horizon.

deflation is much worse for the overall economy than inflation, is what i had recently read...

When I read that, i said to myself, WHAT???


The article went in to say that with a steady inflation, it keeps the economy going because people buy today, what they need or want, with fear that tomorrow, it will be higher in price...

But with a steady deflation, people hold off on buying 'today' because tomorrow, may bring a lower price...

Would you buy a home today, knowing tomorrow or in a couple of months, the home will be worth less than what you paid?

so, this article said, inflation, as long as it is moderate, is actually what keeps the economy going north vs south.

I did projects with a Japanese company in the US and they were under deflation more than once. I look at it differently, my sizeable IRA will buy more stuff in a deflationary economy.

I feel the same way...and it would help us older ones or more established ones with savings already...make it seem like we are richer...but it said that will not help the Nation overall....selling less, then leads to job losses and a number of other bad things....

It seems like they were saying the economy is like Ponzi scheme, as long as more people are being brought in to it, it can keep afloat and increase year after year....

The years when we claim America was Great,

was great because of the Baby boomers and the baby boomer's children, were major increases in the population....an increase of people in the game, more people to make things and sell things to.

 

[DrainBamage]

In a country with a growing population, especially one that is growing in elderly demographics, wouldn't we expect a record number of people not in the workforce every year?

I guess I'm missing the cause for alarmist headline here.

 

[danielpalos]

Since Obama took office........and increase of...........ready for this............18%

http://www.cnsnews.com/news/article/susan-jones/

Look at the graph and see the Obama years compared to all other years going back to 1975!!!

Holy fuck.........this is what happens when you get a progressive running things for 8 years.......a perfect intersection of the incapable and the incompetent.

15 more days s0ns............anybody else feeling that Chris Matthews tingle yet?

Increasing the circulation of capital is what unemployment compensation will do; some on the left call it, "qualitative easing" instead of quantitative easing, since the goal post movement is to effect, a higher Standard of living.

Well......the is none.

This nation needs young immigrant families to come here in good numbers. People in their 20's to 40's ( prime earning years ) with kids already past the infant stage ( costliest stage ) to fill the job vacancies that exist and will continue to exist.

This fact remains in spite of the fears of nutbags. At some point, they will come to grips with it and support comprehensive immigration reform.

I don't know HOW you can even say that with a straight face...?

The economy was in the worst shape of our lifetimes....the GREAT recession, the Wall Street crash AND home bubble busting... What Obama inherited was the worst recession since the GREAT Depression....

What Obama left you with can not even come close to the dire straits we were left by President Bush.... every measure of the economy under Obama IMPROVED.

I am not even close to the one percent and in fact don't like filthy rich people. I am nearing the end of my life and have to spend my meager sum on something because I can't take it with me. I am seriously considering buying the new Dodge Viper, top speed 202 MPH and under one hundred k to augment my new full size Ford pickup. I still have 300k to go with mad money and I don't want to buy a yacht.

Want anything else?

The president doesn't hire the masses for jobs that private companies have moved out of the nation..

But he sets policies/regulations that make it harder on companies which results in such.
Did you know that Obamacare taxes raised $2.3 trillion, that is 2,300,000,000,000 dollars in govt rather than in the pockets of Americans , according to Dem Senator Joe Manchin

Hmmmmm. Why don't I believe that number.

And...what regulation would you like to end first to make life easier for companies in America?

Did you know that companies in America have never been more profitable or mire productive? Huh? Didja?
