I've heard that the official unemployment rate is about 8.1%.
Bull. Shit. And anyone who pays attention knows it's bullshit. They've massaged that number to only show those who are unemployed and still looking for work; those who've given up aren't counted.
The real number is a bit more than double the official statistic: 19%. That's about one in five out of work.
Thank you, Mr. President. You did, indeed, build that. You didn't inherit an economy this weak. That took a lot of very hard work, on your part, between golfing trips. Congratulations.

It's interesting how the miserable economy is still Bush's fault, that businesspeople didn't build their businesses....and yet, O apparently killed bin Laden with his bare hands.
ReplyDeleteOne in five out of work? That's getting dangerously close to 1932 territory.
Yep, isn't it just? I think my family will be okay, regardless, but this is going to really hurt most of the country.
