All businesses are getting screwed except for hospitals that will now be collecting more than 4% of their total billed charges.

What are the percentages when adjusted for population growth?

I do not know, but our growth rate does not come close to matching the increasing percentage of college students. I'll try to provide the link, but I'm not sure if it will be valid by the time you check it:

World Development Indicators - Google Public Data Explorer

How much of that enrollment puts the tax payer on the hook today, vs back then?

I don't know, but I don't see what that has to do with the labor participation rate. *shrugs*

Unemployment is still more than 3% higher since the democrats took congress in '06.

:lol:

And Bush took a 4.2% unemployment rate and turned it into a 7.8% unemployment. In other words, this comment of yours is ridiculous. Democrats controlling Congress in '06 had nothing to do with with the economic recession which is what caused the high unemployment in 09 and 10.

When the poll is not in your favor, you will trash it....

When the poll is in your favor, you will treasure it .....
