I'm no partisan hater. George W. Bush should be fairly tried and executed for his genocidal crimes against the American people. Same as Obama. They are both corporate fascists, and their policies have lead to the deaths of those they swore to serve. Try the bastards, execute them, then put someone in office who knows how to keep an oath. Now tell me again how I'm being partisan about this.

As far as unemployment numbers go:

More Phony Employment Numbers

A government that wants to cut the social safety net doesn't want you to know that the unemployment rate is 22.9%. A government that wants to cut the social safety net when between one-fifth and one-fourth of the work force is out of work looks hard-hearted, mean-spirited, and foolish. But if the government reports only one-third of the unemployed and presents that rate as falling, then the government can present its cuts as prudent to avoid falling over a "fiscal cliff." --Paul Craig Roberts was Assistant Secretary of the Treasury for Economic Policy and associate editor of the Wall Street Journal.

And then there's the argument currently being made that paying out unemployment benefits creates jobs. The Obama people are promising to create hundreds of thousands of jobs not by investing in infrastructure, not with manufacturing, but by passing out unemployment checks:

Think of that. Obama's going to print more money, pass it out for not working, then claim he's created 300,000 new jobs. Truly a man of stinkless shit.
