near full employment, yeah, ok lady go learn how to stop speaking in a jolly way so nobody dare criticize you. Just keep it on topic folks, the oligarchy is doing a great job. 21 trillion in debt, zero gdp growth. These big companies got bailed out and then they sold out and left the country. Wealthy people criticize poor people as 'slack' in the economy and then look at the Panama Papers, those same criticizers of the poor hiding their money in shell companies to tax dodge, what a bunch of phonies, its incredible. Any wealthy person wants to look down on a homeless person or poor person and 'tell em to get a job' why not instead have the courage to criticize shell company using tax dodging phonies in their own class.<br><br>Ron</div></td></tr></tbody></table> <div>
