But then we tell these fools that the over $1 trillion that the dems spent on their stimulus bills could have just given 10 million unemployed folks $100,000 each. i dare say that would have been much more productive then studying why pigs stink or what turns on college women, and building turtle tunnels, ATV trails and Frisbee parks.
Unemployment rates are 20% Just ask the shadow stats. The birth death model lets the government say well there were this many new business formed so there were this many new jobs when those are just made up numbers and the stats indicate that there is a wide divergence between what is being said and how much is being paid out in benies.

"Unemployment rate rises to 9.6%..Thank God for the Stimulus"

Only 9.6? I thought it was more like 16%-17%?

Well what good is having a propaganda ministry if it doesn't write what you want it to say when you want it to say it? I mean if you say that the unemployment is really 22% then everyone would be really upset. But 9.6% that isn't so bad is it? So what is a 50% understatement between friends? The difference between admitting you have a problem that will lead to doing something about it and living in never never land where if you say it is OK then it is. We are headed for a really bad economic crisis, It will be fun when it gets here.

If the stimulus had been given to us the workers of America we would be in far better shape now.

The actual number is 16.5%.

But for someone who PROMISED it would never go above 8.0 on his watch I guess he has failed once again.

Or is this just another UNEXPECTED thing he and his band of thieves did not see coming?

Hope and change is coming to America.

Time to take out the dirty laundry and clean up with WH.
