THE REAL Unemployment rate is 39.2 Percent; Welcome To 2011!!! Thanks Obama!!!

I agree its higher than what the media says definately.. They just don't want people to know the truth as usual. Wish people really knew what is going on instead of watching th media and our government lie.

I'd venture 20 to 25%


Which is still waaaaaay too high.


Don't thank Obama. He doesn't deserve it.


You can't stop a freighttrain.


This has been going on since Reagan.

One only has to drive down a residential neighbor hood to understand what is going on. Everybody is HOME. Nobody out working.

typical idiot who has no clue how shit works and thinks whoever is president at the time is responsible for every problem

Thank god for that!! It is the resonsibilty of who's in charge to make it better not worse, and it's not getting better.

like your eyes

Awwh Thanks.... Looked a little like Do in reality so thats why I picked it.

Hey Buddy, It's the Republicans that don't want to pay Unemployment. That is what is wrong with this Country. The Republicans work for the top 5 percent then brainwash about 35% to get what they want. Wake the fuk up!

agreed. All crooks both parties, we need something to change.

How the hell is this Obama's fault?

8 years of companies sending jobs overseas during the bushco fiasco and not a peep from OPTard about it.

Oh but the large corporations are LOVING OBAMA! With Obama and Bernake pumping up the markets, the CEOS and the big daddies of these large corporations are making money hand over fist now, and enjoying it perhaps the best ever now.

Correct...ditto

I'm sure some of your figures overlap OP. But I do think that of the total number of employable adults, only 47% have full time jobs, the rest are either unemployed, part time or temporary workers. One thing is for sure, CBO estimates say the government can increase tax revenues by 50% in 2015! No way can this happen.

The markets were being pumped up way before Obama took office, so what's your point?

You bushtards let this slide for 8 years, and now you're pissed?

JSTFU!

Ever since the day Obama took office, the stock market has been zooming up. Ponder this, early March 2009, the stock market was close to 6000 points. Now 2 years later, it is 12,000 points and large corporations are making record profits now. Enjoy the best times of their lives while the rich keep getting richer. So they should be thanking Obama for their prosperous last few years.

Yeah, and corporations just hate the GOP, don't they.
Your corporate masters run both parties.
But keep blaming the left, sheeple.
Cause that's just what they want.

Via POMO auctions the fed is supplying liquidity to banks who then use that new cash to bid up stocks. The so called record profits are a result of companies laying off employees, reducing staff. Labor cost is usually the largest overhead in any company. Once you're down to a skeleton crew and everyone is working 60 hours/week for 40 you can't reduce labor costs.

really wish folks would quit blaming the monkey in the white house
the repub's are blocking every thing
the rich refuse to budge....on any thing
and the poor.....the ones who actually did all the work to make the rich money......are the ones who are blamed and suffering

if those rich bastards had half a brain....and .01% patriotism .....they would risk a bit of the cash that the rules of this once great country allowed them to manipulate
and pay back some of what they made....at same time creating some security for them selves
cause if the 90% fail........so do they

but NOOOOOOOOOOOOOO

the poor made them rich..........and the poor are expected to pay to fix what their fucked up greed caused

Well it looks like they will keep on doing it. They know how to get rich so why not continue to do something that works. Feed them the money by the Fed and use that cash to bid up stocks and reap even more money. So all in all, so far so good, with Obama being President, corporations have enjoyed very wonderful prosperous times, perhaps one of the best times EVER!

You don't remember when H. Ross Perot was screaming about the giant sucking sound of jobs going to Mexico and elsewhere? Everybody laughed at him. He was talking about NAFTA in the Clinton years. NAFTA that democrats pushed thru. You guys complaining need to look up "ancient" history, meaning shortly before most of you whiners were born, and study up. Bush didn't screw up everything..just some things.

Does America have the balls to revolt like in Egypt?

based on what? Unemployment checks or taxes being paid?

Either way, its around 60million and look at that. Not one person ate one person....

I dont call it unemployment. I call it living outside the matrix.

Not really correct, they didn't want to give Z-Demo's all of their wanted waste for their home state. You know the Pork Barrel projects (pet projects), the Repub's didn't want to give and get nothing in return.

It's called CORE unemployed

Reagan started this mess. I wish more people would wake up to that truth, instead of worshiping him like he was some kind of God. I don't think there's ever been a president that's done as much damage to our country. He sold us out to the corporations.
