Furthermore, the BLS anticipates that the problem is likely to worsen in the coming years. They project that participation rate will drop from it's current 62.9% to 60.9% by 2024. This appears to be baked in to the trend toward automating some skilled labor jobs and moving others offshore.

I have noticed that it is finally dawning on some of my non-union, southern countrymen that being non-union and southern does not necessarily protect them from being outsourced. Alas, the denizens of the boardroom really are insatiable. Well fancy that!

Tell me; What fool undertakes the errand of trying to satisfy the insatiable by reducing himself and others to peasantry?

Since you're throwing stones, maybe you can tell me how the current occupant of the White House has done?

Nor does being in a union and northern.

Not much, although significantly more than the GOP.

All he could given the GOP's obstructionism.

Another off the shelf response. The GOP has given Obama nearly free reign. The first two years the didn't have the votes to stop the Dems on anything. Later, the GOP dumped the Speaker of the House because he was perceived as too cozy with Obama, got a new Speaker, and that one has been busy staying out of the Dems way as well.

Sorry, but Obama has gotten most of his agenda pushed through, including a $1 Trillion stimulus which was supposed to get the economy going again (remember the summer of growth that never happened?). And his biggest obstacle in his first term was likely with the left flank of his own party, particularly on healthcare reform.

You posts are worthless, whell. So far spun from reality as to constitute disinformation.

Can't you see that it is Obama's fault that the baby boomers are reaching retirement age. Those death panels turned out to be worthless.

Speaking of "off the shelf" responses.:rolleyes: It was much less than two years. The Republicans refused to seat Al Franken, for one thing.
