Labor Participation rate at 63.5%, Unemployment 8.1%

I already provided the relevant metric in that other thread (it's not a favorable comparison, BTW) and explained why the average labor force participation rate over the past 20 years is silly.

Don't you have some fear mongering about non-existent inflation to do or something?

Your house lost value so when bread costs 50% more it isn't inflation, gotcha.

Yours is exactly the same one that SF brought. It's actually quite funny. It is like looking at a quarter from the face side and the other guy says it isn't a quarter because "Look! this is a quarter and it has an eagle on it, not a face!"

Bread costs 50% more? You're fucking nuts, Damo. Here's a chart of CPI for food at home since 2009:

Uh, ok.

Regardless of who wins in November, the period of November 7th-Dec 31, 2013 is going to be the window of opportunity to get things done before the politicians start worrying about mid-terms. The two parties must come together and start resolving the long term issues. The constant short term stop gap measures must stop. We get bad numbers and the markets go up because they know more short term stimulus is coming??? It is an insane bubble we are creating right now.

Maybe you can write some letters to all those Republican stooges in Congress who have blocked every single thing Obama has tried to do to improve the economy.

He'd compare it to whatever he thinks makes it look better. The number of ants in the hill behind his house, socks in his drawer with no holes... So longer as it compares favorably.

I think anyone who has followed your posts over the pat few months can state unequivocally that you've proven that the level of nicotine in your bloodstream is inversely proportional to the level of hyperbole you practice.
