Many times numbers and statistics are simply thrown at us. It is almost a mind blurring information overload.

If we take the time to look inside the numbers, what the numbers show is frightening for America.

How bad is the Great Obama Depression and what is it doing to America?

I know I’M depressed. Haven’t been the same since 11/6. The last 4 years sucked...but I had been so hopeful going into this time. That’s why it hit so hard.

I find some good in each day (not in the news, of course)..and have been planning on early next year. One foot in front of the other...

What seems to have caused you to excerpt your blog?

And what made you think your blog belongs in “News”?

Many times numbers and statistics are simply thrown at us. It is almost a mind blurring information overload.

If we take the time to look inside the numbers, what the numbers show is frightening for America.

How bad is the Great Obama Depression and what is it doing to America?

The Great Obama Depression is distorting the American work force and for many Americans in their prime earning years, they are not finding work so they can earn. For many who are approaching senior citizen status, they are in demand.

In November, 146,000 jobs were added to the economy. That is an interesting statistic but if you break the numbers down, it gets even more interesting.

Employment among workers aged 25-54 dropped by 359,000!

The biggest growth in employment demographics was in the worked aged 55-69. Their employment grew by 177,000. Workers 20-24 rose by 62,000.

Looking at statistics in other ways, the full impact of the Great Obama Depression is evident. Since Obama became President in 2009, four million jobs have been added for workers age 55 and over. For those under age 55? They have lost three million jobs. For workers who would be in their prime years (25-54) 2.5 million jobs have been lost!

In short, the American economy and the American middle class are dying under Obama. Baby Boomers are holding on to their jobs longer and longer, putting off retirement. For those who came after the baby boom, the members of the baby bust, Gen X, Gen Y and Millennials, they are facing something no American generation has ever faced before.

For the first time in our history, our children will not be better off than we were. Thanks to Barack Obama and the Party of Treason, the decline of America as a great power has begun. Unless real Americans act soon, America’s decline may become irreversible. But then again, that has been Obama’s goal.

It was a real downer, but a lesson as well.

This should be called “the last generation”, a I honestly doubt we’ll have many more children born of 2 native-born Americans. Not pointing fingers; my wife was imported decades ago as a child (when this country had jobs and opportunity and the new northern urban dwellers made clear they weren’t interested); most of our children’s friends have either one or both parents imported (in a town that is still officially “white”).

A majority of Americans just acted on November 6th and re-elected Obama. Too late to lament the decline, it will continue and worsen. It's time to prepare for what the decline spawns.

Always some good in God's world to keep one from obsessing with what Men do. Yesterday, I was blessed with a couple opportunities to spend about 10 minutes overall while helping 3 separate people in small ways. I was further blessed by the reaction of the older woman who offered payment for helping with her car - I told her she had already paid me by showering God's Blessings on me when she accepted my offer of help - a bit of initial shock hit her face then her eys sparkled and she lit up with a smile - I guess I don't look like a bad guy, but also don't look like one who would carry His Word to folks.

Hang in there and count blessings instead of fretting about the mess the world is in - He has decreed it will happen before He comes back to stamp out the evil that pollutes us all - we can't stop it, only become distracted from our real job of carrying the Good News of the Gospels...
