Duh, aging and the recession both of which Obama did not create account for your participation rate graph. Guess you could blame the Obama duo, thanks to Obamacare
and to Michelle's drive to encourage healthier eating habits for keeping more of the elderly alive longer, but that blame you're gonna have to suffer living even longer for.

Oh, here's the link

But we’ll offer two asterisks for Cruz’s statement.

First, as we’ve noted before, a notable factor in the decline of the labor-force participation rate is the aging of the Baby Boom
generation. As more adults begin moving into retirement age, the percentage of Americans who work is bound to decline.

When we last looked at this question in 2013, Gary Burtless, a Brookings Institution economist, told us he had
estimated that the labor-force participation rate would have fallen in recent years on the basis of aging alone.
