It's funny when the news reports lower unemployment rates for a given month. Why? Well, they should be getting lower! There aren't that many jobs left to lose anymore! What a bunch of puppet dunderheads. I mean really, once you reach a position where there aren't anymore jobs left to lose, what's the next step? Once we reach rock bottom, there's only one way to go.

What all these stats fail to include, is all the workers that were mislabeled as subcontractors, by employers, to cheat the system.

Those workers that are labeled an independent business, cannot file for unemployment. They are not included anywhere in the stats.

If all were included, you would see numbers skyrocket, to a very realistic number.

I would estimate the real unemployment rate to be close to 25% if not more.

There are an estimated 20 million Americans unemployed/displaced, by the illegal aliens within our border.

Millions more have been displaced by temporary foreign workers on "H" visas, a program that was created by our evil Congress to allow Corporations to exploit third-world workers so that Americans could be thrown out of work.

Lets not forget folks like myself who had to close up shop because of unfair policies. We don't get unemployment either, even though we had to pay into it.
