If the American people are stupid enough to vote for Democrats with an unemployment rate of 10% (which is too low because it doesn’t count the self-employed who can’t make a living in this economy), then they deserve the economic disaster that awaits us.

Of course.

Of course, but it is more likely to happen unless we counter the 'Rat propaganda (witness the Great Depression where Roosevelt and the Democrats increased their Congressional majorities all the way until 1938.)

It doesn’t count them, it doesn’t count those who are working part time because they can’t find full time work, it doesn’t count those who are earning less than half what they used to earn, it doesn’t count recent college grads who are settling for jobs that used to be done by eighth grade dropouts. It is one of the most deceitful figures the government gives out. I see no chance of returning any time soon to the real employment level that used to characterize the bottom of a recession but now represents “the good old days”.
