You'd say a lot of things...but that's not so interesting. FYI: the unemployment figures do not reflect those that are under-employed*, part-timers looking for full time, those that have given up looking, or those long term unemployed. Add them together and you have something closer to 20%. * those that work in construction or landscaping who are only working some-of-the-time...and those industries are only going to remain afloat due to the President signing a $700 billion bailout for the financial sector. Socialism rescues the rugged individualist neo-cons again. Now, have you ever heard of a "over-employed" statistic? Of course not, but it would be a good thing if you did. BTW: how's your 401K doing now days? Not to worry though, the rich have gotten richer and that brings comfort to you. --~--~---------~--~----~------------~-------~--~----~ Thanks for being part of "PoliticalForum" at Google Groups.
