Rob..unemployment has gone from 4.8 to about 5.2 give or take, I would hardly call that "crazy" unemployment
The trend is what's crazy, Joe.
In the last 3 months...
Unemployment jumps for 3 straight months.
Dollar down
10%.
Oil up $30 per barrel.
Multiple countries STOPPING FOOD EXPORTS to the US.
I know in a 3-month window, these things don't seem too bad. But what if this continues for the next 6 months? Dollar down 30%? Oil up $90 per barrel? Unemploment at 6.6%?
Hypothetical - Joe - if you lost your home, your business failed, and you couldn't afford gas - would you still care more about Obama's pastor than anything else?
You're in a great situation, but many americans are not.
