[history]
WASHINGTON (CNN) -- Economists didn't expect June's unemployment rate to be much different from May's, which was an already-low 5.6 percent. But in fact, it did fall -- to 5.3 percent. The unemployment rate hasn't been that low since June 1990.

So, to summarize this important info very briefly:
During Clinton's Great Economy of 1996:
Unemployment was at 5.6%
Average wage was $11.82/hr.
Inflation was 3.3%
During George W. Bush's "miserable failure" economy of 2004:
Unemployment is at 5.6%
Average wage is $15.40/hr.
Inflation is 1.9%
What's wrong with this picture?

Another thing these lying idiots don't realize is that unemployment is neccessary in a capitalistic system. Maybe they know it but ignore it.

By the Way, I am going to be calling Hannity and a few other places today. Listen in.
(Try to aswell, better chances in numbers)

What makes me so angry is how this was basically being pushed under our noses.
