“Historical fact: Handout-happy FDR “won his biggest landslide victory after his first term in office during which the unemployment rate was never less than twice what it has been under Barack Obama.”
I have read that if unemployment were calculated the same way it was in the 1930s, it would be over 25%.
Possibly so. I do know current unemployment figures include only those applying for unemployment compensation and don't show job-seekers whose benefits have expired or who've given up their job search.
