First part wrong.DeepPurple said:The US has always measured unemployment in terms of unemployment claims rather than in terms of those out of work -- it is the same gimmick that was used in the early 80s to make unemployment during the Reagan recession look lower than it really was... both parties play this trick because at the end of the day, they are both just shills for the land holding corporate aristocracy that wants the common man to think that things here aren't as bad as they are in France or Italy.
The rest wrong. 1980? You obviously weren't there. Reagan took over with interest rates at 23.5% PRIME RATE. But now 30 years later, revisionists blame that recession on Reagan?

Oh... so it was the fault of the guy before Reagan? Thought blaming the previous guy wasn't allowed?

Disagree. Obama hasn't fixed things as well as Reagan did, but things are clearly better now than they were five years ago.RaceBannon said:

Stocks were high under Bush as well. And they will be low under Obama before he is done. That is not the economy

I should have included my paycheck as well. THIS economy only sucks if you have no skills. It's a Republican dream.RaceBannon said:Stocks were high under Bush as well. And they will be low under Obama before he is done. That is not the economy
