How's this
the umemployment rate only counts who is COLLECTING unemployment at the moment
so its NOT ACCURATE
turn on your TV
3 million jobs lost with Bush in office

colin get your calculator out
then find out all people who aren't collecting umemployment but still are jobless

And oprano is fun
its full of old fucks who berate me cuz I hate bush

Being neither a Democrat nor a Republican, I don't care whether you hate Bush or love him.

Turn on the TV? Yeah, great source.

3 million more unemployed today than 4 years ago.
5 million more employed today than 4 years ago.

Those are the straight numbers. What conclusion do you draw?

Unemployment rate: 5.6%. Below average.
Employment/total population rate : Excellent. Not as high as during Clinton era
GDP. Great 2 quarters.
Deficit. Very high.

My conclusion? We're in an above average economy paid for by deficit spending. The economy is not as good as it was during Clinton's second term but overall better than most.
