    Default Actual unemployment is 37.2%

    Don't believe the happy talk coming out of the White House, Federal Reserve and Treasury Department when it comes to the real unemployment rate and the true “Misery Index.” Because, according to an influential Wall Street advisor, the figures are a fraud.

    In a memo to clients provided to Secrets, David John Marotta calculates the actual unemployment rate of those not working at a sky-high 37.2 percent, not the 6.7 percent advertised by the Fed, and the Misery Index at over 14, not the 8 claimed by the government.

    Nice move, Democrats. Do we need more stimulus?

    MM gets it right once again. Even if it is 37 percent...what are the republicans going to do....vote to defund Obamacare again and offer a tax cut for the wealthiest Americans?

    Nahhh....Bush isn't smart enough to create the gigantic clusterfuck our economy became on his own. He had 25 years of supply side economics putting wind in his sails, and republicans held congress and also the senate until 2006.

    Well if he's going to make up some ridiculous bullshit, then why shouldn't he make it ASTOUNDINGLY IDIOTIC bullshit?

    And here we go...from the article you posted:

    "This number obviously includes some people who are not or never plan to seek employment."

    How bout that?

    Turns out it's just another attack piece from another hate filled Rightie.
    What kind of country have we become?

    One in which federal prosecutors can take “evidence” before a “grand jury,”

    and that grand jury can “vote to indict” a former president for 91 alleged “crimes”?

    The wealthiest americans are still getting rich, while most are doing with less. All under Obamas watch.
