While travelling last week (Miami) a Cuban friend and I were talking about the election. We were both amazed at the way immigrants from South America, Central America, and the Caribbean flee leftist nations only to lean heavily towards the same policies here.
Anyway, he mentioned the spanish TV stations were obnoxiously pro-Obama. So, I decided to watch Univision & Telemundo that night.
I didn’t even make it to the actual news. Obama had commercials on constantly. All of them were touting his record of adding 4 million PRIVATE SECTOR jobs.
I can only assume those are not net jobs, or just some outright lie.
There are fewer Americans working now than when Obama took office.
The workforce has collapsed in numbers from all the discouraged workers who can’t find jobs.
So they live off of retirement they took out early and have to pay taxes on, they take SS at 62, they go on disability, they re-enter college and get more student loans, move back in with parents they once left, are supported by family members who still have resources, etc.
People are surviving however they can.
But remember this:
Fewer people are working now than when Obama took office almost 4 yrs ago.
Never forget.
