The actual numbers

Ad hom...



After ad hom...



After ad hom...



And now suddenly, the pious yurt is concerned with ad homs...pity he wasn't so concerned when he was spewing the ad homs.



But don't worry, he's still got enough gas in the tank to hurl another ad hom ever after whining about others...

I know, right? What a douche.
 
Real unemployment published January 6- 2012. This chart takes us back to 1994. Seasonal lay offs have already begun-


The U-6 unemployment rate is the Bureau of Labor Statistics’ (BLS) broadest unemployment measure, including short-term discouraged and other marginally-attached workers as well as those forced to work part-time because they cannot find full-time employment.

U3 and U6 are both official measures, U3 is just the one most commonly referred to. It's important to note that the proportions between U6 and U3 really haven't changed much in this depression. Also, what is SGS Alternate?
 
your point?

My point is that the causes of unemployment started under Bush and manifested themselves under Obama, because unemployment is a lagging indicator. The only reason that it never became much more serious is because of the concerted measures taken around the world.
 
The Republicans seem to forget that unemployment is a lagging indicator, and that under President Obama the radical increase was ended and has begun to turn around.

I had been becoming increasingly pessimistic, because we had been heading to what seemed like a double dip. However, it seems that we've had another bout of recovery. Last time I remember looking at unemployment, it was in the 9%'s, now it 8.5%. By the end of the year, who knows? Perhaps the recession is on its way out.

Republicans and Democrats closely follow the same economy policy anyway. Had Al Gore been president in the 2000's, I would expect the same recession to have occurred. And had a Republican been president in 2008, I would be surprised if anything turned out any differently, besides perhaps it being worse.
