Perhaps there is an easy way to solve our nation's economic problems.

Dow hits 11,000. Unemployment @ 5.2%. And we still are in the Depression! Damn! This Meth problem is worse than I thought!

It all depends how you measure the unemployment. By some measures the unemployment during the Great Depression was close to zero.

Unemployment is actually at 4.7%, not 5.2%
