#1 So the working two thirds are supporting the non-working one third, but the unemployment rate is only 5%? Or is my math flawed ?

#3 Thanks newc. I suspect your Shadow Stats are closer to the truth.

#4 To these stats must be added at least 50% of government employees who produce nothing of real worth or actually destroy productivity with over-regulation.

#6 The administration is deliberately trashing jobs and the economy for profit. Teachers can't pay rent, lose their insurance, Vets and students lose benefits because credits aren't transferable to the state system. I had no idea the Department of Education had so much power but add that to the EPA's fiascos. Several coal plants + CA nuclear plants have closed because they meet new EPA regulations, idling the RR's, further trashing jobs especially in rural areas. Hanjin went bankrupt, showing cargo is slowing the lifeblood of America. Hedge fund traders are nasty selfish vultures.
