These numbers are so much B.S.

It’s like the “stimulus” program “saving or creating XX million jobs.” How is it that you aren’t counted as unemployed unless you are actively looking (and who says they aren’t looking anyways)? Unemployed is unemployed. Those numbers should be counted. It’s just a lot of card shuffling to keep the numbers low.

Real unemployment number is closer to 25 to 30 percent.

33 percent of my brothers and sisters, adults in my family, are now unemployed. One of them for a year.

My daughter has just graduated from college a year ago, a 100,000 dollar adventure, and has been working at a restaurant as a waitress since then. This kid was in the top 95 percentile in the country. She now takes lunch orders.

We are now in a depression, and they just can't admit it. Obama and Pelosi have turned a recession into a depression.
