Comrades! It is your patriotic duty to give up on looking for a job!

How else will your president ever get the unemployment rate down to zero?

The Star-Ledger was particularly ebullient yesterday — Unemployment rate dips to 7.2 percent nationally, a 5-year low!

The Labor Department said today that the rate fell to 7.2 percent from 7.3 percent in August. Unemployment remains historically high but is near a five-year low and is down from 7.9 percent at the start of 2013.

Isn't it great? Obama's policies are working!

Sadly though, Americans are not. Working, I mean. Only 148,000 new jobs were added last month, barely 3,000 per state. And buried in the Labor Department's numbers is this little gem: The number of Americans who left the labor force hits another all-time high.

The number of Americans who are 16 years or older and who have decided not to participate in the nation's labor force has climbed to a record 90,609,000 in September.

In January 2009, when President Barack Obama took office, there were 80,507,000 Americans not in the labor force. Thus, the number of Americans not in the labor force has increased by 10,102,000 during Obama's presidency.

Ten million Americans have answered their president's call and are honorably doing their patriotic duty. But it's not enough. Dear Leader needs more of you to give up! If you are still trying to find a job, you are making your president look bad. And we all know what happens when someone makes your president look bad.

The time to act is now. Get out of the labor force comrades, and drive the unemployment rate to zero!
