Why is "unemployment" a concern during the booking Obama economy? Isn't unemployment at 5.0%? Isn't that what economists call "full employment?"

If I were Obama, I would be more concerned with the inflation caused by a labor shortage!

Without the Federal Reserve, its soviet-style central planning, money printing and debt creation - Obama would have crashed and burned in 2010.

I suppose he’s feeling some obligation as he’s the reason they are out of work.

this might sound crazy, but i know people who were on unemployment or ssdi and their new job offers were so low, they didnt try so hard to get them.

for the extra 10k, maybe they would get off the dole.

i know, it shouldn’t matter.

but what people should be like, and what they are, is usually very different.

In other words, take half your pay or get cut off UI.

Government Teat. Let’s keep all the people on the plantation for guaranteed votes from baby mommies and daddies and the scum ferals who have carte blanche to shoot at each other with guns held 90 degrees from true. Then riot and loot when a feral POS gets shot, while getting arrested.

I’ve been on this carnival ride before.

It will end up being called a tax and forced upon everyone under penalties enforced by the burgeoning IRS.
