- The employment and unemployment numbers came in today, and they were horrific. The unemployment rate is now at 8.1%. But even more disturbing is this data point: Labor force participation dropped to a 30 year low at 64.3%. As reported here yesterday, employers added only 115,000 last month to their payrolls {It's actually 5000 lower than predicted}. And the real U3 unemployment rate is now at 11.6%. Almost 30 million are out of work. Zero Hedge and Breitbart

- What politicians have shown support for Occupy Wall Street? The list includes, but is not limited to, Nancy Pelosi, Dennis Kucinich, Russ Feingold, Bernie Sanders, Louise Slaughter, and Keith Ellison. In fact, in Oct. of 2011, this headline appeared on ABC News: "Democrats Seek To Own 'Occupy Wall Street' Movement." So Democrats support thugs, misfits, felons {including rapists) and cowards. It's all you need to know about this generation's Democrats.
