Am I losing my marbles or is DWCAP and Esmith only taking numbers away from the equation? Esmith you seem to be arguing in favor of what I am saying. If you want to tell me that we should drop the employable age to 14 then that would essentially add numbers to the bottom line therefore decreasing the unemployment rates I am stating. When we remove a stay at home mom or an early retiree from the employable group we have an unemployment percentage that would be even higher.
My point is simply that US numbers are completely out of whack creating a false sense of security in this country. I truly believe that unemployment is already over 11% nationally, but that this government is doing everything in their power to have us think otherwise. It is simple math. Not many think outside the box, they just watch the news.
