An economist now? Come visit California, and see Obamanomics at work. You know, where everyone that once had good paying jobs are now on welfare learning to a new career in "Entitlements!"
I expect that there are still many Friday-afternoon press releases showing "unexpected" negative numbers and reports touting dubious results to be made public in the next couple years.
Those numbers do not include those who are no longer eligible for unemployment and since fallen off the rolls of unemployed. If you want true numbers you look at the increase in welfare recipients, something the WH is hiding. We badly need the WH and Congress to bring back the old jobs training program CETA, to get America back to work and off entitlements. You know this is true but your bromance with Obama keeps you from admitting it.....
