Yes, the population may be expanding, but is the *working population* expanding?

Aren't more people retiring ("baby boomers") than currently entering the work force? That's what I seem to hear as to why the social security system is going to collapse - more retirees and less new workers to pay.

It seems the unemployment number is more important than "all employee" or "all jobs" numbers.
Excellent point.

So I suppose that GW was wrong, 20+ years ago, when he should have been fathering babies as fast as he could.

Seriously, how disingenuious can the Liberals be? "Job creation" . .. how about looking at our low unemployment we are enjoying right now.

Lib's How's the saying go? Statistic don't lie, but liers use statistics. Too true.

For those who are going to jump in and claim 'but those aren't good jobs' I'll tell ya what; START a business that IS a "good job." ....then maybe you'll understand why there are fewer "good jobs" out there.
