I know why Trump et al use the 90MM BS. I don't know why supposed liberals do. Since I hope they don't really think every frail senior, quadriplegiac, family caregiver and student should be working at a paid job, the only possible conclusions are that they want to make Obama look bad, or to vindicate laziness or incompetence in those who should and could be working but are not doing so by choice, pretending that they would be competing with many more people than they really are for each of the 5MM+ open jobs.
