The reason - 8.2 million workers have been out of work for an avg of 20.3 months. Most aren't counted in the unemployment statistics. 5.63% doesn't tell the whole story.

Remember George Bush Sr. lost because of jobs and the economy. GWB hopefully will not go down for the same reason.

Really? So where are these 8.2 million? Living on the streets in cardboard boxes and eating at the Salvation Army?

These claims aren't very believable. The country would look like the great depression with millions in soup lines.

The truth is when it comes to recovering economies America is leading the industrial world.

I was tired of hearing the complainers during the Carter years when we had double digit unemployment, double digit inflation, gas lines and a misery index.

I'm twice as sick hearing so many ingrates constantly complaining NOW when things are infinitely better. We should be thanking God that we are so blessed in this country.
