"Abandon Hope, And Change Your Answer"

So, here’s how unemployment Democrats can do their part to reduce the unemployment rate and help Obama win reelection (all other things remaining equal):

1. 12,500,000 people were counted as unemployed by the BLS out of a labor force of 154,365,000
2. This yields an unemployment rate of 8.1%.
3. 47% of people are Democrats (including what Gallup calls “leaners”),
4. 12,500,000 X 47% = 5,875,000 “unemployed” Democrats
5. 12,500,000 unemployed – 5,875,000 unemployed Democrat drop-outs = 6,625,000 unemployed
6. 6,625,000 divided by 154,365,000 = 4.3% unemployment if all unemployed Democrats gave up looking for work

Thus, if Democrats remove themselves from the workforce, even though they are still technically unemployed (and no longer earning money to spend in our economy), the unemployment rate decreases.
