Unemployment Lie?

I agree with you that the left attempts to bash Bush over the economy...unemployment...etc... in spite of the increasingly and consistently positive numbers.

Typically, they present it as an aberration...as inaccurate (even though the same measures were used during the Clinton Administration)...or they simply ignore the figures.

I%26#039;ve come to the conclusion that Bush could give every man, woman and child in the U.S. $1 million, lifetime healthcare, and resign from office...and the left would find something in that to complain about!

For the record though, the 4.5% is a record for the Bush Administration. At one point in Clinton%26#039;s second term, unemployment was at 3.7%.

Unemployment Lie?

that is not a historic low. It was lower than that when Clinton was in office. It was under 4% at one time. do your research.|||That 4.5% is very misleading. What about unemployed people not collecting unemployment? What about people who have their unemployment run out? What about people who are underemployed? It%26#039;s hard to live off $400 a month. Believe me I%26#039;ve tried.|||Relying on government numbers is like asking the fox how many chickens it stole|||truth seeker is incorrect. The low with Clinton was 4.8%. Who makes 400 a month on unemployment? Mine was 1200. and that is Florida.|||Hey Dude1988, no one told you to drop out of school and act like a retard.

If you would have stayed in school and got an education, then you wouldn%26#039;t have to worry about having to work at Burger King.|||The department of labor no longer carries the official number of people out of work . It only counts people on unemployment during its period of pay outs .

So 4.whatever% of the nation is collecting unemployment .

Those who%26#039;s benefits ran out or others that did not return to work are not counted .

Have you looked in the paper lately . The jobs section . Used to be filed with jobs for carpenters ,painters, electricians ,plumbers, dry wall installers ,and finishers, trim carpenters and cabinet installers roofers and the millions of people who built homes in America . Now dozens of homes sit empty and are foreclosed on everyday . Condos slated to sell out became apartments and 40,000 americans are losing their homes each month . Tell me this is all just my Imagination and that those numbers are made up .

Get a grip you piece of garbage sit on your but and collect a check conservative bottom feeder .|||That statistic only applies to who is drawing unemployment, there are people in my State that don%26#039;t have jobs that pay taxes and mostly rely on burglary and selling drugs for a living.|||gee, is that because this question is just full of happiness, light and love???? Do right wing republicans EVER ask for a reaction about their comments from ....oh say moderate republicans??? Cuz I gotta tell ya, you guys have a real tendency towards being uptight, judgemental, vindictive and rather hmmmm...RUDE??? Mostly, though you tend to just be inaccurate.
