Are you unemployed?

Yes..


Well, I'm sorry about that. It explains your confusion over the economy; if I were one of the 6% or so who are unemployed, I'm sure I would have a different view as well.

But you would have to admit that being unemployed might bias your view of the economy somewhat -- historically, 6% unemployment is not extremely bad (4% is normal, 8% is on the high side).

If Obama starts dumping on small businesses as he indicated, we could easily see 12 or 15% unemployment.
