I agree that nationally, the numbers are higher than reported. But you didn’t answer my question. If the statistics show 4.6% unemployment. Then is real unemployment 20% in Wisconsin? That’s a pretty big disparity. Where did he get that number?
It is not as big as the disparity really is. U3 is reported at 5% nationally but 90+ million not working is around 40% of the adults in the US. Last summer David Stockman said the national unemployment rate was really 42.9% while the official gubmint U3 rate was 5.5%. It sounds like Trump may actually be understating it. I am not blaming Walker but the truth is that most people do not realize how badly we are screwed and how much of a lie gubmint numbers are. Politicians like using the gubmint numbers because the real ones would get them fired. There was a thread about it at the time on this site. http://www.freerepublic.com/focus/f-news/3306261/posts
