Can the “MISERY INDEX” be far behind?

The Misery Index is based on inflation and unemployment, and I don't think either statistic is being reported honestly.

By some calculations, we now have 10% inflation and 17% real unemployment, and so Barack Obama’s misery index is 27. The commonly perceived worst-ever Misery Index (in 1980) was 21.98.

Weirdest "recovery" I've ever seen.
