A guy that was kicked out of a college where he was only carrying a 2.3 gpa in spite of cheating every day is a natural for the republican candidacy. I hope he doesn't continue to spend all his time getting even with teachers just because he was stupid enough to get caught cheating. :ohno:

Wasn't kicked out of college and he had a 3.8 GPA..

The only segment of the labor force in which participation is rising is the 55+ segment. Clearly, they are not retiring. When you factor in their rising participation, the declining labor force participation rate is far worse.

First, the 55+ participation rate isn't rising.

But, also... interesting you'd choose to look at 55+ instead of 65+... you know... people at a more common retirement age.
