On this day in 2008, there were 50.829 million Social Security and retirees.
On this day in 2011, there are 66.350 million Social Security and retirees.
The difference is 15.521 million not employed in 2011, and not calculated in the number of the 2011 unemployed or the 2008 employed.
Out of the 15.521 million SS and retirees not working in 2011, who knows how many were listed among the 2008 employed. Even if it was as low as 10 pct, it would still mean 1.55 million less unemployed in 2011.

Other than poorly forming an opinion and repeating it in a new thread each time, with incorrect numbers, you just want everybody to know the numbers that you incorrectly quoted and calculated aren't yours. It was the debt clock, people! Don't shoot the math-challenged messenger for having opinions about stuff, and stuff!
Dear Rickoshay75,
Please stop being a shitposter. Aspire to be more. Dig a little fucking deeper. What is it you are going to say with your life? Vida loca or vida poca?

I've already eaten crow. What else do you want, blood?

Hey, thanks for asking. What I would like is for you to dedicate a single thread to your debt clock updates, and then just update that thread, rather than start a new one each time. I'd like you to double-check your numbers before you post. I'd like you to bring up a subject that you find fascinating or amazing and then expound on what it is you find fascinating or amazing. I'd like you to offer some underpinnings to the basis for some of your opinions, like some links to other people who have interesting things to say on the subject. I'd like you to respond more directly to the topic. I'd like you to say things that are intentionally funny, and share a sense of humor. I'd like you to go to the Say Hi, Gracie thread, and introduce yourself, say something about yourself, like:
I'd like those things. I'd like to see that you posted and then be interested in what you had to say rather than an interest in what milk-toast train wreck you've accidentally served up, or non-sequitur you've offered.
