ot "the point is the 5% number massively understates unemployment - which is relevant to real estate - and the bubble going on..." No the point is that your making up what you THINK is right without a shread of evedence to the contrary. "No, of course people get jobs after 6 months. There are also people that drop out of the statistics after 6 months, and do not have jobs after 1, 2 years " and some arent looking yes that is all considered in the 5% number. If you dont like bush then I guess you'll change your mind when hillaries elected and trots out the same numbers claiming success. "- because there are far fewer IT jobs now - over a million less - than in 2000." So we are talking about your world of IT. I guess thento you it SEEMS like there is alot of unemplyment even though there isnt. You know a recession is when your neibors out of work a depression is when your out. Doesnt have anything to do with the country though. "The economy was much better for IT before 2000 - so we didn't have that same problem then. Talk to people in IT. I know many. Recruiters had offers 2-3 times a week, if not per day during 1998-1999. Many of these same people are now not finding jobs, because they don't exist anymore." Lot more RFID programers though. But i do understand that you FEEL like the government is wrong. "That's the point." the point is your view does not represent the country. But if you care to offer more then your opinion I will listen.
