Middle-aged people laid off and unable to find work are taking another way out. They’re killing themselves. Suicide rates are soaring, according to federal data released last week. Especially in economically depressed states and job-starved upstate New York. People in need of work are twice as likely to take their own lives as employed people, and people fired in their 40s and 50s find it hardest to get hired again. That makes boosting economic growth a life-or-death issue for many. But you wouldn’t know it listening to President Obama and Hillary Clinton. President Obama whitewashes reality, claiming the “American economy is pretty darn good right now.” False. The Obama economy is stalled. It grew at a measly .7 percent annualized rate the first quarter of this year. That’s compared with the 3.5 percent rate the US enjoyed for most of the 20th century — what’s needed to sustain employment and optimism.

“American economy is pretty darn good right now.”
Maybe for an aspiring barista
Demographics. Lots of under and unemployed millennials who will work for cheaper than we Gen X guys can.
I think if we took a poll for people who had considered suicide since the Muslim infiltrator assumed office it would be shocking. He has tried to ruin the American dream for others while living it himself. Of course I think it’s intentional. He would enjoy mass suicide among the white population no doubt. The man is pure evil without conscience.
Scratch the surface on those stats.
Middle-aged WHITE people are offing themselves.
Making room for young brown people.
So you see, it all works for the Dems.
“Middle-aged people laid off and unable to find work are taking another way out. They’re killing themselves.”
To hell with that. I took a night shift food service job. In one or two days I make what I used to make per hour. I’m grateful for the job. It will keeping me going and fills my agenda to get through these insane days and outlive all my enemies.
The last one standing wins.
Watch those stats climb off the charts if Thunderthighs gets in the White House...
Then they want to "tax the rich", you know , the investors, capitalists , and productive companies,successful businesses , etc.,
.. the ones that create new businesses !
All this for .7% growth that deosn't even keep up with the population.
Combine that tax money with all the money that the fed.gov is throwing at crony "Green Energy" and "Climate Change" organizations ,
and you will realize that the Treasury is being looted from within , and also Internationally .
A civil war is coming...No way in hell will I go quietly into the night for these douche bags!!!
Agreed! Those who will just roll over and die are non-factors.
This is another reason why this year’s elections is going to be very important.
Planting the seeds of a future revolt.
You watch, this will be used to promote “gun control”.
Trump for President. It will take Trump and years to back track to save millions of the once middle class people.
I was laid off back in February due to oil prices and H1-B workers replacing people like myself.
Luckily due to my experience and abilities I was able to find a job in two months.
I am VERY VERY lucky.
The last one standing wins.
^^^^^ This
People have to get pissed off!!!...The liberal agenda is a damn disaster. When is everybody going to wake the hell up?
Killing yourself is not an option!
When they find my guns...They will all be blazing!
If they really are that distraught, then these sad people really should go postal first.
Take out the faculty meeting at a nearby liberal college.
Then kill themselves.
