General Election 2015

[Kirkland Laing]

"Who holds this 'popular view' ?"

The reason for over half the percentage drop in the labour force participation rate since 2001 is the huge increase in the numbers of the retired population as the baby boomer generation start to retire.

Uh, you apparently.

People 55 and older are working more

...arguing with yourself? Wow you won't even agree with yourself when debating me, amazing, the Denial is strong with you.

This means that 16-55 unemployment is increased as older people aren't retiring like they used to

Unemployment is only increased when the people in those age ranges are LOOKING FOR WORK. Ask the Obama Administration and they'll tell you that despite 93 million people dropping out of the labor force, the unemployment rate is a paltry 5.5% according to the Bureau of Labor Statistics.

Kenyan socialism and liberalism

Kenyan? No, this has nothing to do with Africa, Keynesian economics perhaps...and yes they are in fact complete horse shit. Socialism does not work it leads to rampant waste and fraud and quickly becomes unsustainable especially when the takers outnumber the makers. Liberalism...that plays a part in the culture of course, because if I'm looking to work, provide for my family, and achieve then I'm a bad guy, I spoil it for all the poor saps out there being lazy for a living.



So I guess the question is now...who do you wish to argue with more, me or yourself?

Yes, it's a "popular view" because it's actually correct. It's popular among people who look at the facts and understand them. And you're not understanding any of the stuff I'm explaining judging by the questions you're asking.

And even if I do manage to explain it to you it'll only fall off your little shelf in a couple of days anyway.

It's the "popular view" not the correct view. But hey, I won't stop you from carrying water for your boy

Firstly the labour force participation rate has been falling since 2000, so I'm carrying water for Bush and Obama. Secondly it's a simple fact that half the fall of the rate since then is entirely due to the huge number of baby boomers retiring over the 2000-now period. It's a "popular view" among people who can read and understand the facts because it's a fact.

[Kirkland Laing]

Will have something to say about UKIP and what have you when I get a minute.

Resorting to the UKIP approach of dealing with people who disagree with you isn't going to help you win the argument.

Numbers are about as fluid as the policies of political parties. No party is going to use numbers that paint them negatively, and will choose their numbers with care, therefore, while there is often one set of numbers that show one thing, there will be another set of statistics that show the polar opposite. Numbers may not lie, but they can be used to paint very different pictures depending on agenda and political leaning.
