This recession was CREATED by the DNC and MSM
feeding China, al Qaeda and the Banks (all of them worldwide)
with US taxpayer money.

Plenty of our jobs left under Republican administrations as well; neither party represents the interests of the American people.

It will never change.

We would need to get rid of the EPA, Bureau of Land Management, Interior Dept. and many others.

These bureaucracies have ruined our economy by driving industry out of the country and making what remains marginally profitable.

And no one is talking about obumbler care forcing more manufacturing to leave the country, which it will.

Much of the race unrest we are facing would be eliminated if everyone could find a job.

“Demonstrators in support of fast food workers protest outside a McDonald’s as they demand higher wages and the right to form a union without retaliation Monday, July 29, 2013, in New York’s Union Square. Activists say hundreds of workers have walked off their jobs. They are demanding a minimum wage increase and calling for better benefits. ((AP Photo/John Minchillo)”

Replace all fast-food cashiers with automation. Problem solved.

Fast Food Self-Ordering Replaces Cashiers

Self-order kiosks use touchscreens to replace cashiers. Fast food chains implementing automated self-service
machines include McDonald’s, Burger King, Taco Bell and KFC.

Something Obama&Co fail to understand is that when the middle class is tapped out due to no work and taxes they don’t get to blow money.
They are speed bumps at best.

No, to fix the problem we need to get union and corporate money out of our elections.

I did not intend to list all of the things we have to get rid of, but obviously union influence is one.

But then you have to ask yourself what the difference is between union money and NRA money...or that of the Cattleman’s Association.

I spent 56 years working with, as a vendor, manufacturers that today no longer exist. They were serious employers.

I know what the EPA and other tree hugger Marxist bureaucrats did to those industries.

"...difference is between union money and NRA money."

Membership in the NRA is voluntary.

If I understand that chart, we are producing the same amount of oil today as we did in 1972?

US oil production peaked in 1970. However, demand for oil has increased since then

That chart is direct employment in oil gas extraction. Sorry, the title did come with the chart when I posted.
