I am still waiting for the damned outrage! I am biting my tongue every time I fill up. No one seems to give a crap that we are paying insane gas prices for 5 years. No one cares that unemployment is never going to go below 7 or 8 %. No one cares. No media hysteria over these issues. Amazing how brainwashed Americans are. If the media doesn’t tell them to care, they don’t care.

I know! I don't get it either. (We live in the People's Socialist Republik of Connecticut)

Imagine the outrage if a Republican was in the White House for 8 years...

Do you remember the media attacks on Bush for 5% unemployment and gas over $2.00?

Now its crickets

“No one cares that unemployment is never going to go below 7 or 8 %.”

Use the true U6 data; the U3 data is BS and doesn’t factor-in all the people who’ve stopped looking for work, because there is none.

It’s closer to 14%.
