Breitbart Big Government reports that, according to the most recent release of the Department of Labor Bureau of Labor Statistics, only 47% of American adults have full-time jobs. That is p*** poor.
Yes, many of us are retired, and some indeterminate number more are willing stay-at-home parents. However, 8 million are working part-time while wishing to work full-time. Millions more are unemployed, often for long periods, and still looking for work.
A discouraging number have dropped out of the workforce and no longer seek work. Many of these have found other ways to live - disability, food stamps, WIC, the underground economy, crime, etc. Many of the young live with parents or other relatives.
An economy in which less than half of us must support all of us isn't adequate. There is no way the government can relax and say, as it seems to have done, "Everything is fine, problem solved."
It is not fine, Washington, the problem is not solved.
