If the adult participation rate was the same as in December 08, the unemployment rate would be over 10%. Food stamp recipients are at an all time high and the number of people living below the poverty line are at an all time high

I certainly find you funny.
The overwhelming majority of people recognize things are much better today than at the peak of the recession....and getting better each month. And when the recovery is finally complete Obama and The Dems will get all the credit because the GOP had to be dragged kicking and screaming the whole way...all the while crying about food stamps and birth certificates and abortiion laws.

People like you who advocate getting rid of the minimum wage don't carry much weight in the argument of poverty and food stamps. As for employment, I learned in 3rd grade Math that 11% is a bigger numer than 8%... So I've come to the bold prediction things are getting better. Hoops must have had a different 3rd grade Math teacher.
Ps...the last time we had 7.9 unemployment was the 2008 presidential campaign. The republican campaign in that race told us that rate wasn't so bad and we had become a nation of whiners for complaining about it....and Hoops was so outraged by that disposition that....he voted for that candidate.
