Assuming the Dems regain the House and a super majority in the Senate, UE will likely be between 5-6 by 2016.

Do you recognize the inherent flaw in this poll which strongly suggests that you are not mentally equipped to be discussing a question of this complexity?

Based on what, exactly? Are the other 6%-8% going to be IRS agents?

If I can keep my jobs for two more years , I will have paid off my debts and will be ready to move out of this house to a small low tax house and live with very little , if I must .
I am prepared for an Obama victory .

Unemployment will be 0.

All they have to do is suspend unemployment benefit and unemployment will be 0%. At least according to the government anyway. If you are not on the unemployment benefit payroll, you not consider unemployed.

There is no option for unemployment to go down, because the facts point to it increasing with Obama's economic policies. Almost every economist agrees on this point. Unemployment will NOT go down if Obama is re-elected.

If you believe it will, then I have a oceanfront property in Nevada to sell you...
