New numbers out, and u-3 umeployment is dropping to 7.7%. 220k jobs added. U-6 dropped slightly to 14.5%.  That's the good news.  The bad news is the drop in the workforce participation rate.

overall, my analysis is that even bad government policy can't hold the economy down forever.  

Yah, I know, glass half empty. I'm in the camp thatvt we could have avoided years of pain with an administration that actually gives a hoot.

Short term good news...but drop in workforce participation reflects ominous long term trends...more and more on Social Security disability, which payments will continue for life....and  1 in 7 now using EBT ...and endless unemployment benefits take incentives away to get back in the workplace...this reflects the success of the Obama regime's efforts to get as many dependent on government as possible. Why work? Get out of the workforce, collect a check and get a free Obamaphone..

Glad to hear you are doing good ...... I'm fine .... just got back in the house from doing the driveway ..... will be a busy night I imagine ...... I thought I get on BDC and fire up you righties this morning .

Take it easy out there and stay safe..... now lets the insanity begin !

Snowed in myself.  Remember, in our day..........we would already be out with the shovels trying to make some dough..........wouldn`t we?  My 2 (still living home) are having a "Grand Theft Auto" war on X-Box and will stay in their pajamas all day.

You think Mitt Romney gives a hoot about anyone but himself? Geeesh....and you wonder why you lost.

Nobody "wonders why we lost" billy.................We know why we lost.  Dolts like you that voted for more free stuff.  47% of the people that pay NO taxes (you) voted for the people that already pay ALL of the taxes to pay MORE!

Low information, uneducated, EBT card-carrying, welfare recipients, came out to keep the free stuff coming on the backs of the responsible folks.
