It occurred to me to write about union success in garnering waivers from Obamacare, but thought not -- better categorized as hypocrisy than success. Then I considered median income trends and income and wealth inequality. But real incomes are down and disparities are increasing -- can't do that, it would be considered anti Obama and racist. Then I thought about reprising the strategies successfully employed to reduce unemployment. Let's see, converting full time to part time jobs -- a numbers game more than anything else. Nah, nothing to crow about there -- even the labor unions are upset.
Then it occurred to me. Let's look at where Obama's policies have taken us on workforce participation. Settled.
Look at what Obama and his cabinet have done. They've brought labor participation rates down to levels not seen since the Carter administration when women were first entering the workforce in droves. Phones, food, disability, unemployment, you name it, the rolls of every give away program are burgeoning with record or near record numbers of supplicants, still now, years after the recession has ended. Now that's progress.
