the Obama Reich to claim 7% unemployment when it’s closer to 11%.

There are approximately 185 million employable people in our population, if 92 million have left the workforce wouldn't the unemployment rate be more like 50%?

It’s amazing to have a reasonably honest article from Dana Milbank...but notice how he subtly suggests that Fox News is one of the administration’s “Republican critics.”

It certainly appears to be a smoke-and-mirrors Administration.

This will inevitably be a drag on economic growth, as more people decide government handouts are more attractive than working more and paying higher taxes.

And none of them realize that once the government has them all under the thumb of "free stuff", the funding will dry up and the "free stuff" will be severely cut/rationed.

Folks on the taxpayer teat will eventually be cut to a status of subsistence - where they should be now in order to encourage work - and they are following the line to the cliff.

That's the difference between a conservative and a commie leftists: AS conservative wants to be "stingy" with other folks money to make work and bettering oneself be the best option so all have a chance to prosper and make the governm,ent's role a small one. A commie leftist wants to be generous with other folks money for now to get people hooked, then force everyone into poverty so the government can rule with an iron fist.
