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

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.
