For the first time in history, employment and unemployment rates are both dropping. Only the welfare class is growing.

The lying and the willful ignoring of the economic lies is going to bite hard eventually. This all seems like the worker who embezzles money to go to Las Vegas, loses it all and then goes back to work to steal more money -- for another trip to Vegas so that they can "win big" and pay back the money they originally took. You just get deeper and deeper into the mess, and eventually people will find out that you've been doing a bad thing, repeatedly, for a long, long time. Sympathy will be hard to find, I think.
In the end, no one will trust the government on anything. And maybe that's not all bad.

When more people loose their Unemployment than find jobs, it is a sure sign of a collaping economy.

It will never cease to amaze me just how pathetic the news media is. If this were happening under a republican president you bet your sweet a$$ that people would know all about this.
It would be non-stop sob stories.
I had a job, went on unemployment, now I'm out of unemployment eligibility.
This is a disgrace. The media sucks.

Title misleading, but first sentence is truthful.

I don’t know, but they could have changed the way they count “unemployed”. They would explain this to you but you are just a simple uneducated peasant and do not possess the capability of understanding something as complicated as this.
