Anti-depressants are the third most-prescribed type of drug in the United States, nearly one in four women is currently taking anti-depressants — and one in seven men. But the fun part is that two thirds of the people taking those drugs do not meet clinical criteria for the use of said substance — and almost 40% don’t meet any of the secondary criteria for which it is sometimes prescribed either, according to a study which appeared in the Journal of Clinical Psychiatry.

We must cut the crap in this regard; those who hand these pills out like candy are doing severe damage to the general public and the concept that one in four women needs to be medicated due to mood swings is an outrage. How many outrages such as this do you need, America, before you get off your ass and put a stop to any of them?

I voted for Obama because I wanted to tell my grandchildren that I voted for Obama. And I thought that he would be the greatest president in history.

So of course you can’t blame the government now that our Lord and Saviour Barry is chief!

While June 2015 saw the lowest labor force participation rate in the US since October of 1977, but i guess that’s a Fox News conspiracy, because according to Obama the economy is growing, so no blame there, it’s all fine and dandy folks!

Youth unemployment itself is even worse at near great depression levels, half of college students have to move back in with their parents after graduating, good times.

Don’t get me started on psychotropic prescription medications, especially the SSRI class of drugs, which in patients age 15-25 is known to enhance the risk of extreme violence, either against oneself or others! To quote Karl Denninger, who says further:

Despite these black box warnings and publications related to same there has been zero action taken to curtail their use. But if we’re going to actually do something we have to look at why it is that these incidents have been occurring and what has changed. What’s changed is not hard to determine; these drugs have shown up on the market, and there is a clear documented association between certain subgroups by age in the population consuming them and both suicide and extreme rage. We do not know why that side effect shows up only in that subpart of the population, but that it does is well-established at this point.

Yet they talk about unknown externalities…
