...and millions upon millions who wish they had a part time job. I blame Obama and his masterminds.
Interesting piece on gold this morning in the WSJ. One guy's calcuulations and formula put fair value around $780 per ounce. At the present rate of fall, that price may be reached sooner rather than later. Watch out below, goldbugs.
Glad I dumped....made a good move, for once, in the market

Ah another after-the-fact profiteer. You and the situational Native American should write a book.
Did you see Vette saying that his gold losing 40% of its value doesn't impact him... as a retiree on a fixed income. Nope, doesn't impact him at all.
Did you see the great dustup between Erick Erickson of Politico and Paul Krugman of the New York Times yesterday?
Erickson lamented the fact that the price of milk and bread was going up.
Krugman responded with BLS statistics showing that bread and milk are essentially unchanged in price over the past 5 years.
Erickson, who like most fringe wingnuts has a pathetic need to get the last word in, replied that yes, that was true, but hey, facts don't matter, what matters is people's perception of the facts
That goes a long way towards explaining AJ, Vetty, busybody and trysail.
Really? Because the number of Americans working part time for economic reasons keeps declining, even as the work force has increased. Your narrative about Obamacare pushing people into part-time work is contradicted by reality.
The problem is he's not really wrong about that and it's one place that Dems in general and Obama in particular have done a terrible job of controlling the narrative. It's like they don't understand that perception is reality.
Very true. I've called out a number of folks here about their slavish devotion to The Narrative, long after facts have proven them wrong.

It's not a small segment of the labor market either. In May, a record 2.68 million workers filled the temp ranks, according to Labor Department statistics. That means roughly the same number of people are working as temps as there are in the airline, real estate and mining industries combined.
"We're seeing just more and more industries using business models that attempt to change the employment relationship or obscure the employment relationship," Labor Department official Mary Beth Maxwell told ProPublica. "In the last 10 to 15 years, there's just a big shift to this for a lot more workers -- which makes them a lot more vulnerable."

Temp workers aren't the same as workers working PT for economic reasons so I'm not sure why you're posting this.
But over the past year temp workers have gone from 2.5 million to 2.68 million, out of a pool of 136 million workers. You'll have to excuse me if I'm not shocked and outraged by this.
You can't change the fact that there is a record number of temps, but keep trying StinkyMORON.
1.9% of the labor force is temps instead of the usual 1.6%. America is doomed.
They must think we are stupid
Biden: Obama Has “Moved The Country From The Worst Recession Since the Great Depression To 38 Months of Private-Sector Growth”…
Really? Because the first-quarter’s GDP growth was a microscopic 1.8%.
1.8% last quarter compared to -6.8% when Obama took office, a gain of +8.6% GDP growth. And the CBO has a -.7% figure allocated to the impact of the sequester due to hundreds of billions in lost private sector demand.
Fix the sequester and we have a more reasonable +2.5% GDP growth figure.
Pass an infrastructure jobs bill and we're over 3%.
