I actually heard an anti-Obama idiot try and argue that. I responded with that there were just over 300 million people in the U.S. and if that figure was true, then well over 200 million of them are unemployed. That would mean almost every store couldn't function and there would literally be hundreds of millions of homeless people. I could tell that that made him think for a moment and, after a brief moment of introspection, the brainwashing took over, and all he could say was, "It really IS that high."

Ugh.
