Reader comments about this quote:

Sure. -- Tim Fite, Cadillac
sorta one of those - a billion here and a billion there, pretty soon your talking real money ;-) In the occupying statist theocracy infesting this land, they don't really want to count the real unemployment, that would result in a more accurate number of how many people are out of work. -- Mike, Norwalk
This is something our congress doesn't seem to know. Obama knows this but he likes people out of work so more can go on welfare. -- jim k, Austin, Tx
I'd been reading this as a humorous remark; sort of a "DUH!" comment. But as others have [accurately] observed, there's nothing funny about it. Regardless of the cause (WHY they're 'thrown out of work') they become numbers -- figures reflected in the unemployment rolls -- a caring crisis to some, a political opportunity for others. -- Bobble, Burlington, VT
;-) -- E Archer, NYC
Silent Cal said little but it was "point-blank". -- Cal, lewisville, TX
How this statement, so accurate, get only three stars? -- David, Mannington
