Repeating the FDR economic legacy. Maybe this is why Obama is trying to distract with a dumb war.

Summer’s over. The seasonal help is being let go.

Just in time for the government to inflate the next "seasonal" hiring numbers. Christmas is just around the corner.

Most seasonal summer entertainment/travel related places probably had most people still on payroll at the time of this survey.

[This is terrible news for the economy. The airwaves blanketed with war talk would be a big benefit to Obama.]

What was an embarrassing diplomatic snafu for Obama is now being fired up—going to Congress for their vote—into a huge distraction from the economy, the IRS, Benghazi, etc.

won’t even own their own damn smokemobiles.

And then, same as education, since the Fed has given money to automakers in some way shape or form, they'll demand annual driving maximums on mileage, fuel usage, tracking devices continually on, etc., etc.

One of the advantages of advancing years is to be able to see that the idiocy will not end within your lifetime, so you take stupidity and tragedy with a grain of salt. I live well. Other people are completely F’ed up.

I hear what you're saying, but that is completely depressing.

Got behind a school bus on the way to work the other day.
Most of the parents waiting for the bus with their kids were middle aged white men.
Nobody is working, I guess.

I think even those numbers are inflated, just as the government U3 and U6 numbers are artificially low. We are in Great Depression territory and have been for some time now. EBT, TANF, Section 8 and Obamaphones keep it looking like we’re in 1992.
