Zeev's Turnips Talk Politics (ZTTP)

[ergo sum]

Okay

Most of those people not working and being added to the non working statistics are taking early retirement. This reduces the number of people who are considered unemployed.

If you want to credit the President with an upturn in the economy then you can't argue the President is not responsible for the economy.

The point is. Most of the people in this country who want to work are working and have been working. These are the people who vote. For these people all this talk of recession etc, is irrelevant. What is relevant to them is whether or not their salaries are keeping up with their costs. Filling up the car, paying the utility bill.
