A quick lesson on how the government is lying about the true unemployment rate. We have a serious unemployment problem in the USA and it has been going on for 5 years (Yes, it started under George W Bush). That being said the number of Americans out of work is higher under Obama than at any time in history and it is coupled with a dwindling labor force. Do the math: More unemployed and few workers does not equal an economic recovery. It equals economic disaster.
