If enough people leave the workforce, the unemployment rate will fall below 8% and the Progressives will trumpet that their policies are working. Never mind the statistics that we have more than 23 million unemployed or underemployed. Obama was on the Letterman show and couldn't even answer what the National Debt was.

Obama's Misery Index

To give you an idea how bad the jobs report released on Friday is, consider this fact: The employment situation in the country is so bad that economists can’t accurately measure it with the existing tools they use to measure jobs. In other words, we have entered a period in our country not contemplated by economists. They simply don’t have the tools to measure what’s actually occurring in the jobs market.
