with the new 96 weeks of unemployment pay I intend on retiring at 63 and drawing unemployment for the last two years before my ss kicks in.

one in six men who are 25 to 54 will not be working," Lawrence Summers, the president's economic adviser, said the other day.

I hope those are the ones that voted for "hope and change"

[EGPWS]

One of every five men 25 to 54 isn't working.

What is the ratio of want to work/refuse to work males between 25 and 54 is?

I've been unemployable my entire life. Tried working for someone else once. Yikes! Thank you high school economics teacher that pointed out, if you are working for someone else, that is exactly what you are doing. Much better to work for yourself if you can manage yourself.

I've pulled out the self-butt-kicker a few times. Better me giving myself a kick over a mistake than getting the boot from someone else.

Maybe he just wants men to go back to school and get a competitive edge....or not.

OK. 17% unemployment for prime working years is acceptable to Presidential advisors and administrative policies?

Good to know.

I’m not sure I believe this.

I was in college studying business when Carter was in. They were saying the same things, that we had to get used to double digit unemployment, the new norm, the new Laffer curve etc.

I’ve always looked back on that as socialism setting low expectations of the economy so people wouldn’t be angry and shocked when the bad situation rolled on years without end because of liberal policies and agendas.

Fortunately the people didn’t buy it and voted in Reagan.

ALL THE MORE REASON TO BOOT ALL ILLEGAL ALIENS OUT OF THE UNITED STATES.

If I were some mealy-mouthed incumbent politician or smug political insider and I read that it was likely that an army of 10’s of millions of men in their prime were going to be unemployed for the next 5 years based largely on the crap done by government over the past several years, I would be scared shitless.

Isn’t this the goal of the left?

Unemployable man

[RckyRaCoCo]

Sidelining a huge part of an entire generation of men would waste human potential, create economic misery for their families and fuel political discontent.

Notice how they added that little tidbit at the very end....

Oh what a tangled web we weave, when first we practice to deceive!
