You guys are super uninformed as a group so it makes it hard to discuss things.
Loud mouths demanding free shit is your big beef? Employment figures have never been this good. Initial Jobless claims. Unemployment. So you are mad at welfare? Food stamps? Social Security? Not sure what the real thing is.

"The Bureau of Labor Statistics (BLS) calculates the number of citizens in the Civilian Labor Force (persons classified as Employed or Unemployed) at 157,833,000 (49% of the U.S. population) and in the Not-in-Labor-Force citizens at 94,610,000 (29% of the population)."
The "Not-in-Labor-Force" is the highest it's been in nearly 40 years. As usual they just moved figures around to make the unemployment figures look good
Notice that figures takes a huge dive during Obama's Presidency.
