Remember when WE wanted to discuss underemployment and people who just gave up looking?

[PBS Poll-435]

People looked at us like we were nuts. Now the media and the psychos on talk radio want to push the "REAL" unemployment rate. 17.5% says Sean Hannity...

:wow:

Remember when the Gallup Organization was THE poll that folks looked at to gauge the President's job approval? Now we have the newly re-invented rASSmussen "Daily Presidential Tracking Poll" and its related "Approval Index".

:wtf:

Remember when people wanted justice for the planners of the 9/11 attacks? Those bastards are now being put on trial. Now I am hearing that having these people in court in the city where there acts killed >3000 Americans is a bad thing.

:scared:


Something must have changed or I am remembering recent history all wrong.


:dunce:

2. No, I don't remember that

I never pushed the U-6 figure when Bush was President. There are many reasons why the US and other countries use U-3 as the unemployment rate. Trying to push U-6 is a political ploy to make unemployment figures sound worse.

3. Your memory is just fine.

4. How about this

Remeber when job numbers where rising, now folks on CNBC are asking if
