"I feel your pain" my ass!

[Crazy Dave]

Aren't you sick of hearing that shit or that we should be happy about 9% unemployment instead of 15%?

What are these assholes going to say when it is 15% and they can't fudge the numbers any different?

We should be happy that it's not 20%?

There are always stupid people telling you crap like that
Remember Barabara Bush .....
Everybody is so overwhelmed by the hospitality. And so many of the people in the arena here, you know, were underprivileged anyway so this (chuckle) – this is working very well for them." –Former First Lady Barbara Bush, on the hurricane evacuees at the Astrodome in Houston, Sept. 5, 2005 ......
That's right be happy you lost everything !!
they won't stop at 20% with the mantra or the so called empathy they have

2. The two main quotes right now between republican and democrat politicians are...

The republicans say "everyone unemployed is lazy".

The democrats say they "feel everyone's pain".

Both are all out playing golf every weekend.

5. They already fudge the numbers, It is OVER 15%

"It's bad enough that the nation's jobless rate is 9.7%. But the real national employment rate is even higher than the U.S. Department of Labor's May figure shows.

The official unemployment index, based on a monthly survey of sample households, counts only people who reported looking for work in the past four weeks. It doesn't account for part-time workers who want to work more hours but can't, given the tight job market. And it doesn't include those who have given up trying to find work.

When the underemployed and the discouraged are added to the numbers, the unemployment rate rises to 16.6%. The Bureau of Labor Statistics, a unit of the Labor Department, began tracking this alternative measure -- known as the U-6 for its department classification -- in 1995 after economists lobbied for a method comparable to the way Japan, Canada and Western Europe count their unemployed.
