That's not counting those who have dropped from the rolls because they are no longer able to receive unemployment, they don't count them anymore.
It's more along the lines of 50,000,000 which puts it at 14 to 2.2 percent. More than any other time in this countries history.

15% increase in Medicare, more servicemen killed in action since the the war began, greater unemployment biggest deficit in U.S. History, Iran's building nukes, U.S. Chevy builds moves 30,000 jobs to China after being bailed out.
He and his wife are eating 800 dollar streaks, taking million dollar flights around New York, make enemies of our friends and making greater enemies out of our enemies.
OPen borders with killer drug lords spilling into the United States kidnapping and killing our agents on our own soil, yep he's doing a hell of a job.

Remember now that the official numbers do not reflect the actual numbers in the really real world. The official numbers fail to acknowledge the people that are on welfare and NEVER even looked for work but expect us to continue giving them handouts. The don't include the structurally unemployed that will be unemployed again this time next year. Finally the Official numbers fail to reflect the people like myself that have all but given up hope of finding work, hindsight I should have stayed in construction instead of investing in my education - if I had waited the government would have paid for me instead I paid for my own self!!!

Will our Country even make it to the Election? People on unemployment is way more than what is being said . Not everyone was given the unemployment extension- they were pushed off unemplayment . And now people are being pushed off Food Stamps because they are told they make too much money- but they are struggeling to pay just their utility bills , Is the President doing this so he's not a Food stamp President? Is it a Polital thing? The economy is getting Better and growing ? May I ask where please show me cause I'm not seeing it - And No one else is either. Say anything you want but American aren't stupid nor canwe be fooled.
