    Sorry if I read too quickly and missed something but those charts seem to inticate that participation or those in prime working age has stayed relatively constant and even among those 55+ who are no longer in the workforce only 1.4mm are "discouraged" workers. I don't have the total demographic size but that doesn't seem like much. Was there something in there that I missed that says there are more people than normal who truly want work but can't find it?

    They were factoring or explaining how the process works. The confusion was this decline was happening during the bush administration, so the drop is not from just baby boomers. The reason is the drop is keeping up with the years.

    Also, at the bottom of the article explains that a census shows more older people are still looking for work and the lack of participation is coming more from a separate demographic.

    So I reread it and I'm not taking away the same points as you. The drop among 55+ was not happening during bush years, as the first chart shows. Of course there was a drop overall in 2009, wouldn't you expect there to be during the beginning of a recession? We've now recovered from that recession and the recent decline in workforce population is clearly coming from folks 55+. And of that, only 1.4mm are discouraged workers. Again, that doesn't seem like a lot.

    I agree that the economy could be better and like some of trumps ideas to improve it. And I hate that our debt is out of control. But to say there hasn't been a recovery is just wrong.

    I know what you post on this forum, and it's enough to tell me I wouldn't want to actually know you.

    Ha! I think you win a wish. If one is careful, what you wish for, you can make it happen.

    He's only 5 years older than Trump and 7 years older than Clinton. 74 is really not that old these days.

    The perfect scenario would be Sanders as President and Trump as Vice President.

    Could be possible. The reality is he did say this and he was right.

    I will absolutely admit that Clinton, George and the republican leading congress was the best thing to happen to this country.

    It's interesting watching Trump come up with excuses not to debate anymore.

    Rush said today that all the republican candidates should be given the questions in advance, lol.

    So the debates should only be 20mins long and the candidates should only be asked questions they've had 2 weeks to prepare answers for.

    The good news is I think Carson should be able to stay awake that long.
