So that's an approximate 19% real unemployment rate.

Of course, it would have been even worse, (capitalism would have collapsed- noit such a bad thing, but messy) had ZERO been done, but in the name of "bipartisanship" (the first real clue that Obama had been a complete scammer and liar during his sucessful campaign) it (Stim) was watered down to the point of being an almost total bust:

Underfunded by 2/3; 1/3 of its total being tax cuts, which produce very little in return vis-a-vis actual spending.

So let's see what is next for our Corporatist-In Chief, who ran as a Progressive.

Seriously, are you all angry because you actually think it's Obama's fault?

Or are you angry that unemployment didnt' stay as low as he said it would have?

No, because he chose corporate interests over the good o the people; the exact opposite of what he ran upon.

Bait and switch never leaves happy customers.

The real unemployment rate has grown close to 20%! Almost 1 out of every 5 people needing a job are unemployed. Ouch!
