At least Carter didn't try to bullshit us the economy was good. He knew it and accepted it.
How can they tell how many are actually looking for jobs? Seriously. If they are only going by what is done through the unemployment offices, their numbers are so off balance it isn't funny. There are plenty out there that hoof it from store to store, business to business, handing in resumes and applications in person without ever setting foot in an agency. I've never had someone look for a job for me through a third party.
The last time I collected unemployment insurance was 11 years ago and I did NOT go through them for anything. Hell, most times I bullshitted them that I was even looking to keep the check coming. Bush extended benefits for 6 months back then too. That caused the dems to have fits.
But I find jobs on my own. The gov't can't even begin to count the losses of jobs the way they do things.
Know how bad it is? This part of the country usually does better in times like these. This is where all the money is, and all the good jobs. Well, it's tanking fast. Every two weeks we get those "money mailer" coupon envelopes in the mail and they're STUFFED tight with coupons and adverts for local businesses. This week there were literally 10 flyers in there. That's sad. I see stores failing all over here. Only big name chains are in a position to hang in there.
Way to go Obama.
