LOL! Sure it's 5%. And I just filled my truck up yesterday because gas is soooooo cheap that I couldn't afford NOT to do it. I mean 27 cents a gallon. Loaf of bread a nickle. Man, times are good thanks to the benevolent lyin' king. /s

The lie continues unabated. The actual numbers show that the actual labor-ready population who are chronically unemployed is approaching one third of the total U.S. population. The new jobs were taken almost completely by illegals and foreign workers and that is IF they weren’t shipped overseas.

The labor force participation rate -- a measure of the number of people who are employed or are seeking employment -- was unchanged at 62.4 percent last month, its lowest since October 1977.
I'm sure it did drop. They probabaly used some accounting trick to make it static. These numbers are about as genuine as Hillary's smiles.

Problem is, I was being serious. The auto industry is booming right now. Feast or famine, I get it. Right now? Feast.
