I recall Rush "citing" statistics before, not not using them to attack a lib. He knows better.
WTH? My jaw was on the floorboards by the time he was done. I couldn't believe that I heard him cite unemployment figures as a measure of "full employment."
I know better. Many people I know are simply working poor; I fail to grasp the reason for his equivalency just to denounce Sanders...
Because you wrong and he is right.
Full Employment is an economic term. It does not mean “everyone employed in the job of their dreams” as you apparently think it means.

Full employment is considered to be any acceptable level of unemployment above 0%. Full employment exists without any cyclical or deficient-demand unemployment, but does exists with some level of frictional, structural and voluntary unemployment. Full employment is seen as the ideal employment rate within an economy and is normally represented by a range of rates that are specific to regions, time periods and political climates.
A government or economy often defines full employment as any rate of unemployment below a defined number. If, for example, a country sets full employment at a 5% unemployment rate, any level of unemployment below 5% is considered acceptable. Full employment, once attained, often results in an inflationary period. The inflation is a result of workers having more disposable income, which would drive prices upward.

And if you really work and care, what happens when they keep bring in the guarantee job employees? Are the good workers going to be motivated to be the only one actually working?
Bernie’s plan is to provide government jobs by hiring people to dig ditches, pick all crops by hand, weed fields by hand instead of using chemicals, and similar high intensive people required jobs and low use of machinery. And if folks don’t want them, then he can create the American version of his beloved Stalin’s gulags.

If all of the unemployed just formed a DUES PAYING UNION, all problems solved. (/S)
