Miller rightly keeps asking why we need Medicare for all when Democrats gave us the Affordable Health Care Act
Actually it was in 2010, but hey, that was like forever ago.
People 55-64 forced out of the labor force since 2000 is up 49.5%, more than any other age demo
In 2018 over 37 million people age 25-64 were not in the labor force.
Not only did they have no jobs, they were not even counted as unemployed because they were not counted as part of the labor force either.
They literally do not count.
Here are the average millions in 2018 by age tranche who are not in the labor force:
25-34: 7.81 million
35-44: 6.95 million
45-54: 7.93 million
55-64: 14.76 million
65+: 41.25 million.
Approximately 32.2 million of these people do not yet qualify for Social Security, including 9.5 million of whom are 55-61.
And if you want to know why young people are living in their parents' basements in their 20s, you have your answer: Business has not hired the young and inexperienced and has fired the old and higher paid.
Nothing personal, right? Just business.
Effing libertarians.
For people who ought to be working, the rate of dropping out has been twice as high as the rate of joining in since 2000
And how can there be a labor shortage when population is increasing at a rate faster than assimilation to working?
Shut the borders! Turn off the immigration spigot!

Jeffrey Snider: The last 11 years of real GDP worse overall than the Great Depression
Told ya.
In terms of modern calculation of real Gross Domestic Product, the last
eleven years in the United States have been worse overall than the
Great Depression.
Michael Cohen to Cuomo in 2016: Certainly hoped to go into Trump's administration
2016 Michael Cohen Interview Shows He ‘Certainly Hoped’ He’d Be Offered a White House Job:
The hope that Cohen expressed during that interview directly
contradicts what he told the House Oversight and Reform Committee on
Wednesday.
New House lefties tell moderate Democrat Blue Dogs and Republicans to STFU, just like lefty social media deplatforms the right, threaten primarying and draconian rule changes
House Democrats explode in recriminations as liberals lash out at moderates:
[T]he [Democrat] party's moderates - many of them freshmen taking their first congressional votes ... insist that they are not going to be dissuaded from voting with their districts, and many are warning that majority control is at stake."It's this class of members that got elected that are the reason we have the majority," said Rep. Stephanie Murphy, D-Fla., a co-chairwoman of the moderate Blue Dog Coalition. "Many of them come from these (moderate) districts, and their promise to their constituents was that they were going to put people over politics."
What amounts to the second estimate of Q4GDP is out today, and the calendar year 2018 figure is just 2.9%
2016: 1.6%
2017: 2.2%
2018: 2.9%
America has not had a 3.0% real GDP or better year since 2005 . . . fourteen years ago.
Pathetic. Disgusting. An indictment of the policies of both political parties and of American business.
No jobs, no hope, no America I once knew at all.

Sentencing document shows Michael Cohen had administration ambitions
Rush Limbaugh had this right today: Cohen Caught in Multiple Lies Again.
THE GOVERNMENT’S SENTENCING MEMORANDUM:
THE GOVERNMENT’S SENTENCING MEMORANDUM:
[These crimes] each involve deception, and were each motivated by
personal greed and ambition. ... his desire for even greater wealth and
influence precipitated an extensive course of criminal conduct ... .
His actions suggest that Cohen relished the status of ultimate fixer --
a role that he embraced as recently as May 2018. Cohen was driven by
a desire to further ingratiate himself with a potential future President --
for whose political success Cohen himself claimed credit --
and arranged for the payments in an attempt to increase his
power and influence. ...
Cohen privately bragged to friends and reporters, including in recorded
conversations, that he had made the payment ... .
Cohen’s criminal violations of the federal election laws were also stirred,
like his other crimes, by his own ambition and greed. During and after the
campaign, Cohen privately told friends and colleagues, including in seized
text messages, that he expected to be given a prominent role and title in
the new administration. When that did not materialize, Cohen found a way
to monetize his relationship with and access to the President.
