RUSH LIMBAUGH makes a case, a very compelling case using .gov figures and leading economists that its really more like 15-17% but I give Bernie credit for getting in front on this...

And isn't it suspicious that a week or two after Obama makes these glowing announcements about the NEW UNEMPLOYMENT figures that the .gov quietly revises them up blaming this state or that for not turning in their figures...its a regular like clockwork deal...

So now it's OK to use the U6 rate while a D is in office?


I'm so confused...

He is clost but a littel low, the real number for Florida is closer to just under 20%.

the number quoted by the .gov and MSM is the % of the working age population that is receiving unemployment insurance from the state... and that is inaccurately low.

yeah their are 180,000,000ish people who are old enough to work and their is 100,000,000 people working.

and that aint even counting any of the illegals who dont fill out a census.  Their are upwards of 25,000,000 of them.

Everybody is worried about Hillary Clinton, but this is the guy that we really need to keep an eye on. Like it or not he's addressing the issues that Democratic voters are sensitive towards and he doesn't have the baggage that the HRC does.

Hopefully I'm wrong about him.

During the Great Depression 25% of the population was unemployed right? No social programs or SSI disability, no SS or welfare.
Now 50% of the country is unemployed, because we cannot count folks on social programs or who have dropped out of the work force they come up with a 5-10% unemployment rate.
How are we not in another Great Depression?

No, it isn't.

Money is a magic trick. It comes from nothing. That is why a world banking system is being pushed so hard. If everyone who matters buys in, the  money can flow for ever.

One of America's great community organizers......Bernie was one of the agitators that organized SNCC (student non violent coordinating committee)
one of Stokely Carmichael (black power) & H "Rap" Brown's (burn baby burn - violent non violence) handlers....

Bernie has quite a bit of support in my area of Iowa-the usual Hillary supporters have switched to him.

At least around here,Hillary is in trouble.All of us are in trouble.....

"Unemployment" numbers are meaningless nowadays thanks to government propaganda'ing; Labor Force Participation Rates show a clearer picture and that picture is dismal



Bernie is still a fucking idiot.  Like the OWS crowd, he has a knack for identifying real problems and then prescribing more of exactly what caused them in the first place as the solution.


It's like listening to a cirrhotic rubby-dub drunk complain that he feels better after downing a bottle of cheap wine, so clearly that's what he needs to cure his ills.

i'd like to see him knock her out of the race, because if she gets the nomination (with the help of the press) she'd be harder to beat in the general election.

That's what he says now.  If elected it will 5.5% again.
