If you did know, you would know that when an individuals' unemployment compensation benefits run out and they haven't found gainful employment...even part time employment...they are dropped from the statistical rolls of those who are "unemployed". Dropping those persons from the rolls of the "unemployed" skews the "unemployment" number and makes the number go down.

That "unemployment number" doesn't mean what you would like it to mean and what O'Bomber would definitely like it to mean. Namely, that fewer people are "unemployed" and more people are "employed".

The U-6 unemployment number is about 17% of the US workforce.

The continued high US unemployment rate can be directly tied to the idiot Socialists in power in the Congress since 2007 and the idiot Socialist infesting the White House since 2009.

These idiot Socialists are doing exactly what Socialists always do when they get control over an economy. They destroy it in short order...which is exactly what I told you way before O'Bomber ever infested the White House.

God, you just have to love the gall of the Socialist mushrooms.

"except that so much of what we need for the war effort is being made SOMEWHERE ELSE due to multinationals using the cheapest possible labour within their reach"...katatonic

First, they elect other Socialists who pile on excess business taxes, excessive business regulation, excessive rules designed to break the backs of businesses and employ lawsuits to keep businesses out.

Then, businesses leave the state(s) or the country for climes where a reasonable profit can be made on their investments. In the process, they also take the jobs they supplied in their state(s) with them...and the tax base their business taxes fed...and the taxes their former employees paid.

Then, right on cue, the Socialist mushrooms start whining, screeching, screaming and shrieking in unison about...the greedy bast@rds who have run out on America.

The economy was in recession when Bush became President.

Then, 9 months later, Bush had to deal with the 9/11 attacks which knocked the props out from under the economy again.

It's too bad the Socialist idiot O'Bomber is an economic dunce. If he had 10% of the intellectual horsepower of W, O'Bomber would lower tax rates across the board, ditch O'BomberCare, stop talking about "Card Check", stop talking about energy "Cap and Tax", stop talking about spending even more tax payer money, remove the impediments to drilling for American oil and gas....and stop creating such uncertainty in the business community that employers won't risk their business capital in expanding their businesses and hiring new employees.

But, O'Bomber and the Socialist crew O'Bomber assembled around himself are economic dunces and we're going to have to wait until the 2012 elections to get rid of them.

In the meantime, as Sarah Palin said...

2012 can’t come soon enough.

I live here, Kat. It's shameful! Sadly this election consisted of 3 candidates, two of which took the majority vote and split it up, thus leaving us with LePage. Unfortunately, neither ran the best campaigns, there was much mudslinging and dirty play, but we are left with a seriously crack pot legislature atm. TRUST ME, I have to deal with these people and the "new regime" is sub par.
