Reply #9: "Actual unemployment rate of 18.8 percent.." - wow

[slay]

This is bad. Uh-huh. Like really, really bad. But what did we expect - we outsourced everything, shipped all our jobs overseas, and let the rich run wild in this country without paying even close to their fair share. These rich fuckers don't care about us - we are one of two things to them - workers, or consumers. THIS is what happens when right-wing fuckheads run things for soooo many years. 8 years under Reagan (really bush sr), then 4 more under ex-CIA head Bush sr, 8 under Clinton who, while better, gave us DADT and that most horrible of job loss creators - NAFTA, then another 8 years under idiot boy and Cheney. No wonder the country is so fucked up. :(
