$20 trillion man: National debt nearly doubles during Obama presidency
Quoted Text
Spending Under Obama, The FACTS: The figures shows significant spending growth in only one year: 2009, as outlays rose to meet the deepest recession since the Depression … Since then, outlays have fallen, adjusting for inflation and population growth. From 2009 to 2013, they’re down 12 percent … not quite the spending spree that is often suggested in partisan debate.” (Source: CBPP analysis of OMB and BLS data)

The workforce particpation rate is still at a 30+ year low, 62.4%...thats the biggest problem we will have in the years to come. You can brush it off by saying the boomers are getting out of the workforce, but it still doesn't explain the lower participation rate of people aged 25-54.

In a nutshell, the baby boomers have aged and are now finally retiring en masse. After bulging into the workplace in the 1970s, women are no longer the force in the labor market they once were. Younger people are opting to educate themselves rather than work. And a less-than-friendly tone toward immigrants is shrinking the supply for some high-skilled jobs.
All told, it's likely to be a drag on the U.S. economy for years to come.
The U.S. economy has created 11.5 million new jobs during the last 57 consecutive months of domestic labor force expansion. And there were nearly 5.4 million open jobs at the end of May – more than twice as many vacancies as there were six years ago.
And yet Americans are actually trickling out of work at an alarming rate. The country's labor force participation rate – which measures the share of Americans at least 16 years old who are either employed or actively looking for work – dipped last month to a 38-year low, clocking in at an underwhelming 62.6 percent.

The Participtation rate for the 25-54 age group has fell to 80.2 percent, down from 84 percent in the late 90's. As fars as the retirees, they retired from full time work, however, if they are employed part time, as many of them are, they are counted in the workforce. That ends up denting the impact of en masse baby boomers retiring.
