Ok, we gotta lighten up this thread a little

Quote:
COSTELLO: I want to talk about the unemployment rate in America.

ABBOTT: Good Subject. Terrible Times. It's 8.1%.

COSTELLO: That many people are out of work?

ABBOTT: No, that's 16%.

COSTELLO: You just said 8.1%.

ABBOTT: 8.1% Unemployed.

COSTELLO: Right 8.1% out of work.

ABBOTT: No, that's 16%.

COSTELLO: Okay, so it's 16% unemployed.

ABBOTT: No, that's 8.1%.

COSTELLO: WAIT A MINUTE. Is it 8.1% or 16%?

ABBOTT: 8.1% are unemployed. 16% are out of work.

COSTELLO: IF you are out of work you are unemployed.

ABBOTT: No, Obama said you can't count the "Out of Work" as the unemployed. You have to look for work to be unemployed.

COSTELLO: But they ARE out of work!!

ABBOTT: No, you miss his point.

COSTELLO: What point?

ABBOTT: Someone who doesn't look for work can't be counted with those who look for work. It wouldn't be fair.

COSTELLO: To whom?

ABBOTT: The unemployed.

COSTELLO: But they are ALL out of work.

ABBOTT: No, the unemployed are actively looking for work. Those who are out of work gave up looking and if you give up, you are no longer in the ranks of the unemployed.

COSTELLO: So if you're off the unemployment rolls, that would count as less unemployment?

ABBOTT: Absolutely! Unemployment would go down.

COSTELLO: The unemployment goes down just because you don't look for work?

ABBOTT: Right! That's how Obama gets it to 8.1%. Otherwise it would be 16%. He doesn't want you to read about 16% unemployment.

COSTELLO: That would be tough on his reelection.

ABBOTT: You got it.

COSTELLO: Wait, I got a question for you. That means there are two ways to bring down the unemployment number?

ABBOTT: Two ways that right.

COSTELLO: Unemployment can go down if someone gets a job?

ABBOTT: Correct.

COSTELLO: And unemployment can also go down if you stop looking for a job?


ABBOTT: Bingo.

COSTELLO: So there are two ways to bring unemployment down, and the easier of the two is to have Obama's supporters stop looking for work.

ABBOTT: Now you're thinking like the Obama Economy Czar.

COSTELLO: I don't even know what the hell I just said!

ABBOTT: Now you're thinking like Obama

interesting....

Word is, it was watched via a drone as well.

Really??

Do you have a cite for that?

[skippabcool]

Good point. Some people, iwndr who, don't change their impellers while others replace it several times a year.

No offence meant to the reference of some people, iwndr, others, impellers, the smiley face or any other entity not covered.

I will let you go read about if from your preferred news source so as to not be biased.

Everything on this forum is biased

Emails released that give the exact timeline and what was happening during the attack in Benghazi that were sent to the White House as well as other places. I will let you go read about if from your preferred news source so as to not be biased.

Sad that we could've sent in help prior to them dying but didn't.

I don't mind giving people a hand up, something to get them on their feet again in times of hardship but like Money said, people abuse it and take advantage of it pretty bad. Of course we do mainly hear the stories of the abusers and not the ones that it helped out and they are on their feet again giving back when they have money.

I appreciate the permission to use food stamps but my wife and I do not need that social handout. We have labored at both blue and white collar jobs over our lifes and we will recover without them.

Too many take advantage of the system and although we have been setback we will improvise, overcome and adapt.

Need more people with this mindset.
