How much lower can the labor participation rate get!?! We are already at JIMMY CARTER levels of long term unemployment?!

What can be done about this crisis?!?!

Did Obama blow it by ignoring the economic crisis of 2008 and passing horrible law that uses unprecedented federal penalties to link every single job to the expensive costs of comprehensive healthcare coverage controlled by the federal government???

Should he have listened to Republican alternatives for healthcare, like John McCain's proposal to delink healthcare from employment, allowing people to buy their own healthcare insurance affordably without any involvement of employers?? It would have been a 10 page law instead of the 3000 page law that killed the economy!

I'm doing great, and most of my friends and family members have good careers. Stop blaming Obama for your failures in life, and get a job and move out of mommy's basement.

Recessions have consequences my friend, I survived DADDY bush's and RONNIE Ray Gun's recession, I also have survived the "village idiots recession as well.

Just be grateful the country did not end up in a depression.

Without President Obama, we may very well ended up in a depression.

Corporate America is currently sitting on over $4 TRILLION.

Maybe they should start being "job creators", huh?

Its true some people are doing very well, such as the medical industry when you walking in an emergency room and get charged 300 for them to talk to you, if they take you in and you say hi to a doctor and your released then you can count on a 1500 bill and if any real work is done get ready to file a chapter 13 to save your behind.

True the workers at GM are doing fine after Obama seized the stock holders assets and gave them to the movement and the workers, a lot of stock holders were little old lady now trying to live off a government pension since Obama gave their life savings away to young healthy people who ran down GM because they were greedy and don't care about anyone else, I will never Buy a GM after that and prior to that I owned many GMs, I would buy a Toyota first or a Ford.

government workers are doing great too a 200,000 a year with the benefits they get, while the rest of us live off 20,000 to 40,000 a year
