Just a guess here, but maybe its the deceptive manner in which the government quantifies the unemployment rate.

Bingo. It is precisely that. The only measure of unemployment worth looking at is Per Cent of Population Employed:



You'll note there is not any good news in that.

Ya think? I agree with you. It’s all a great big sham.

We have close to 25% of our workforce sitting idle, and they have the nerve to claim we have 6 something unemployment.

Why don’t the Republicans make a big stink out of that? There’s so much fertile ground here and they act as if explaining what Obama isn’t doing, is going to cost them.

I’d start coming up with full employment legislation, and dare the idiot to refuse to sign it. That’s how you set up victory. Our clowns prove over and over that they’re just that.

When have we had more fertile grounds for contrasting the Republican party as better than the Democrats on program after program.

Boehner can’t think of one program to highlight in that manner.

Instead he’s stuck on proving both parties want the same exact ill-advised things.

(Steam coming out of my ears...)
