[Sensei Ern]

Looking up Tenoxil. Don’t use it if you take lithium, or drink beer. Or, eat rhubarb, or drink wine, or eat rice, or bran.

Or a couple dozen other things.

The interaction warnings are listed as moderate, meaning, you probably will get sick and may need to be hospitalized.

(I don't think that I've posted this here before. I'm retired. I have lots of time on my hands.. and boy do they show it.)

This is the month of the State of the Union. Get ready for an avalanche of lies and bullshit from the Obama Administration and MSM employees.

I have attempted to

• find the appropriate federal government data,
• format it for print here
• provide links to the original, and
• help prove that the Obama Administration and MSM employees are liars.

Labor Force Statistics from the Census Bureau Current Population Survey (CPS) and other federal sources.

What do these government figures show? For me they document some economic truths with links to the original federal government data that will easily refute the lies of the Democratic Party President. cont'd below

See below for table information.

^*,**One & Two: Source: to find the tables go here Data Retrieval: Labor Force Statistics (CPS)

HOUSEHOLD DATA Table A-7. Employment status of the civilian population by nativity and sex, not seasonally adjusted [Numbers in thousands]
Employment status and nativity. Then

• select Employed under Foreign born, 16 years and over and
• Employed under Native born, 16 years and over

Scroll down to "Retrieve Data"

The data that I include above are from the month of December except for 2014 where November is the last month with data available.

^***Three: For the Census Bureau income data go here. Choose "Consumer Income Reports (P60)" then choose "P60-249 Income and Poverty in the United States: 2013" (pdf file).

U.S. population and US Census clock, Dec 22, 2014 319.47 million [End]

The employment-population ratio measures the economy's ability to provide jobs for a growing population. The employment-population ratio is a measure of economic performance that answers the question, "What proportion of the working-age population is employed?" The ratio tracks "net changes in the number of jobholders relative to changes in the size of the population. Because the population is continually growing, a rise in employment may or may not appear as an increase in the employment-population ratio, while a decrease in employment will always be reflected as a decline in the ratio."From here.

[End]

The civilian labor force participation rate -the proportion of the working-age population that is in the labor force, either working or looking for work - functions well as an indicator of secular trends; it has risen more or less steadily since the mid-1960's, as growing participation among women has more than offset declines among men. The overall participation rate, however, is difficult to interpret during recessionary penods, because it demonstrates no established cyclical pattern; the labor force can either expand or contract in response to worsening economic conditions, as the unemployment of one family member may spur another to look for a job or may influence others to refrain from entering an unpromising labor market. From here.

[End]

The unemployment rate. [The concept of unemployment is fuzzy.] To be counted as unemployed, a person

• must be without a job,
• be available for work, and
• have actively sought a job sometime during the month; or
• must be on layoff expecting to be recalled.

To be counted as employed, a person

• must have worked at least 1 hour during the week for pay or profit (or at least 15 hours as an unpaid worker in a family business), or
• have a job but be temporarily absent from it.

In other words, being employed is an observable experience while being unemployed often lacks that same concreteness. [Plus] The employment-population ratio is calculated using a much larger numerator and denominator than the jobless rate and is thus subject to less statistical error.From here.

CENSUS BUREAU, BUREAU OF LABOR STATISTICS SOURCES

Recession National Bureau of Economic Research, Inc. Cambridge MA 02138 US Business Cycle Expansions and ContractionsLink from BLS SPOTLIGHT ON STATISTICS THE RECESSION OF 2007 – 2009

The NBER does not define a recession in terms of two consecutive quarters of decline in real GDP.
Rather, a recession is a significant decline in economic activity spread across the economy, lasting more than a few months, normally visible in real GDP, real income, employment, industrial production, and wholesale-retail sales.

[End]

There are tons of data available.. and yes more than the tables are needed; for example, government manipulates the unemployment rate, the CPI, and the GDP. So we have to look to see what their latest trick is.

I've combined several tables into one. Most of the tables were obtained here: go to Bureau of Labor Statistics (BLS) Labor Force Statisics from the Current Population Survey (CPS). Make your selections. I chose quarterly data.

I took the fourth quarter data from each table and combined them into the main part of the table above. For the year 2014 I took the third quarter data and marked the data with (III).

[End]

Examples

• from November 1982 (IV qtr) to March(I qtr) 2001 there was one brief recession;
• from Reagan's year 1981 the "not in labor force" increased from 61,933,000 to more than 92,000,000 in 2014 (of course the population increased and I think the percentages remained about the same);
• in December 2007 there were 123,524,000 native-born workers and 22,810,000 foreign-born workers but by November 2014
• there were 122,558,000 and 25,108,000, respectively;
• there were 118,281,000 full-time employment in December 2008 and 25,836,000 part-time jobs but by November 2014
• there were 118,797,000 and 27,724,000 respectively; while
• Reagan's first year (December 1981) full-time employment grew from 82,799,000 to 91,297,000 by December of the sixth year (1986);
• I noticed that temporary jobs started to increase during the Clinton years.

That last point I noticed because I remember people saying things like "Yeah I know Clinton created lots of jobs.. I have three of them."

I recall also that

• the term "jobless recovery" (from the 1990 - 1991 recession) was invented to describe the first few of years of Clinton;
• (1993)99,952,000 full-time and 21,282,000 part-time
• (1994) 101,003,000 full-time and 23,465,000 part-time

Notice the big jump in part-time employment. Actually the first three years of Reagan had a similar pattern.

But what happen in 1994 followed by a big increase in jobs in 1995 and beyond? Ans: the election of a Republican Congress and that the Nation's first 1960s Marxist-Alinsky campus radical, psycho spoiled brats' administration backed off trying to "Bring it all down, man" so quickly.

For Reagan the first year of increases in full-time employment (almost five million new jobs) was 1984 and it continued on from there.

Obama claims creating ten(?) million jobs.. which brings to mind what I said about Clinton's jobs above.. only for Obama's ten million apparently temptorary jobs we say, "Yeah he created millions of jobs.. I've had seven of them while they lasted."

My brother did the same. That is why I only shoot one handed.

I don’t think you did. I would have remembered ignoring that much data.

Lmao, but it is great stuff

[Carriage Hill]

Guns are plentiful now and prices are still dropping; they f-ed-up.

If you’re using it for in-home self-defense or CCW, get 125-145gr HP (hollow point) for good stopping power and minimal wall penetration vs FMJ (full metal jacket) for target practice. Crimson Trace makes the best laser/light combos. Holsters are like underwear; no advice on that subject. YMMV. (I use Galco FED 212 paddle leather holsters for the Glock and 2 Kimbers, and a Bianchi leather quik-draw shoulder holster for the 6” Colt Trooper MK III .357 magnum.)

Not only does Buffett make big bucks from railroad oil shipments, the libtard billionaire left-wing financier Steyer makes huge bucks from his railroad oil shipments. Neither want the Keystone XL to be completed.
