The unemployment rate is a deceiving as the budget deficit/national debt.

All the libs crow about the phantom “budget surplus” that Clinton left behind. They don’t mention that the national debt he left behind was 5.7 trillion dollars.

Me might see the “unemployment rate” drop in coming months. That’s because as people run out of benefits and are not hired somewhere, they simply disappear.

The “news” people confuse unemployment rate with number of unemployed people.

Lets not forget the fact that small business owners who go under are not included in these numbers either.

Well, when people look around them, even bleeding heart liberals, they don’t see unemployment dropping.

When Carter was in there, I thought he was doing a pretty good job, that it wasn’t HIS fault the country was tanking. I was 17 years old.
