So, is Z saying that unemployment would be at 6% without the sequester?

Because there is that little problem with the U6 that flatly refutes that claim.

>(a) You added to the unemployment figure. You should have subtracted.

Huh? When you cut jobs, you add to unemployment.

>(b) If the ratio of percent budget to percent unemployment is 2:1, then one tenth of a percent in the budget would lead to a drop of 0.05 percentage points in unemployment.

What? That makes no sense at all.

>Once again, I'm not going to repeat myself.

You are repeating yourself, in essence. You said nothing, and now you're saying nothing again.
