It's CATACLYSMIC! That's all I see on the news today...Unemployment rate SKYROCKETS by 1/10 of a percent...(Honestly, I might be wrong...it might have been 2/10 of a percent). What the bloody **** is wrong with this country? Oh, wait, I know. THE MEDIA.

That's what I was wondering.

When did it ever go down?

Of course, Pedro Picasso probably still believes that William Clinton won the presidency in a landslide in 1992 and 1996, when in fact Clinton was the only two-term president in American history never to have won a majority (50%+1) of the popular vote at least one time.

Pedro Picasso just likes to shoot off his oily mouth, nothing more than that.

Ya know Coach, in liberal speak anytime you do not have an increase it is a cut.  It is simple liberal Potatomomics. When Republicans fail to increase any program we get headlines which shriek "Republican Cuts Coming: Women and Children Hardest Hit" .

Pedro Picasso doesn't have the cerebral capabilities to think that complicatedly.

Trust me, sir; I know Pedro Picasso.

Pedro Picasso's the type who just shoots off his mouth, and doesn't care if he's wrong or right; only that he gets to shoot off his mouth.

The guy has the intellect of a tadpole.

A dead tadpole.

Dear Pedro:

FAIL.  Unemployment has been between 9.4 and 10.1 percent for the last 18 months, with it being between 9.5 and 9.9 percent during 2010.  Actually, if you look at the U-6 number (a more accurate metric, IMHO), the "real" number has been around 16-18 percent for the last couple of years.  

How's that "hopey-changey" shit working for ya NOW?

ETA: Dear DUmmies,

This link has a lot of numbers and shit.  Try not to get confused, but what it means is that Obama's economic policies basically suck.

Pedro Picasso's upset and all bent out of shape because he already knows he's not going to get any Top DUmmie awards this year, not even runner-up.

But it's his own damned fault.

Until he provides me the carved bust of The Impeached One that I earned, I will not support Pedro for any award.

Pedro Picasso's a prima donna.

He doesn't think he has to do anything; he thinks that just because he is, he deserves honors.

Pedro Picasso didn't do a damned thing all year long to earn any top primitive award.

They are pretty stupid about the UE report, I had explained it to them a few dozen times while I was posting on there, and they still didn't seem to understand it.

No.

You mean to say you actually tried to explain things to the primitives?

Man, talk about wasted effort.

There are a few on there that understand it.

I was mostly met with hostility when I explained to them claims are not factored into the report in anyway, and the report is in fact a telephone survey, not based on any external data other than some statistical adjustments, besides responses to the survey.

Our colleague miskie from Massachusetts coined a special word for the primitive understanding of economics.

It's a delightful word, a wonderful word.

DUmmies distort everything. An unchanging number is a decline, and a two percent increase is only one tenth of one percent.  :whatever:

Unemployment goes up?! What a surprise. Didn't we need to pass the "stimulus" bill because the sky was falling down? (Funny how congress didn't even write that "stimulus" bill.) What a joke. :argh:
