Don't buy the propoganda coming from the DLC lately

70. Unemployment isn't dropping.

800,000 people left the workforce in April. That is where the Unemployment numbers came from.

http://data.bls.gov/timeseries/LNS11000000?output_view=net_1mth The participation dropped in April, by nearly a million, and that is why the unemployment rate dropped.

Better yet, take a look at these numbers. http://www.bls.gov/webapps/legacy/cpsatab16.htm

Fiddle with it, look at the tables. Nearly 91 million people are not in the workforce. That is nearly a third of our total population. Of eligible workers, it's well over a third. Six million of them are discouraged. More than six million people aren't looking for a job according to the BLS because it's no use.

These are the numbers, the numbers the DLC, DNC, nor anyone else want to talk about. Because you can't claim a good economy when those numbers are being discussed. It's impossible to claim victory for economic recovery.

Unemployment is counted as those receiving unemployment benefits. We don't count those who are actually unemployed, that number would be astronomical. It is much easier to pretend that things are going well, then the majority believe any bad things happening are the exception to the rule, instead of the "new normal".
