Q: just because the number is doubled doesnt mean that the number of people were doubled and there is no way to know how accurate this number even is. times are very different now and the assumptions used to create this number are far more invalid now then they were 20 + years ago. they are based on people in the work force employed long enough to collect unemployment insurance and if a person doesnt find a job by the time it runs out they are determined to be no longer looking for work and are no longer included in that number. i wonder how many people were removed from the counted work force during the crash at the beginning of bushs first term that were never added back. the numbers used to determine unemployment are the most accurate given. how accurate they are is beyond your or my ability to know since there is no other method. therefore the numbers presented are the best to be had. if there were better sources for this you would certainly have found them correct since youve presented no data refuting the numbers as presented we can only use what we know which is the numbers i used. dont like it start your own statistical research company. the inflation rates are not subject to your claimed inaccuracies and we still havent hit the nearly 15% of the early 1980s. the difference is then it was inflation and now it is stagflation which is far worse. sorry no. stagflation was the 1970s. now we still have economic growth unemployment isnt rising at a terrible rate if at all and inflation isnt very high. in the 1970s under carter damn a democrat how terrible for you inflation went up and stayed up stagnating as did unemployment while the economy stalled completely. the current recession is subject to much debate. recession implies that the economy is shrinking. currently the economy is not shrinking it simply isnt growing at the rate which it has the past several years. if you have studied history or economics you know that economic growth cannot continue unabated or rampant inflation follows. usually something intervenes such as a readjustment. such is exactly the case this time. bullshit. the economy was hardly raging at any time during the bush term and much of that was due to the housing bubble and the recovery of the crash in 2001. again false. as much as i hate to say it the economy was doing very well during the bush presidency after 2002. until 2007 it was in a boom period especially the housing industry. believe what youd like but the facts speak for themselves. the economy showed about 1% growth in the first quarter unemployment is hovering around 5% and inflation is around 6%. none of these are anywhere near as bad as the early 80s. you are comparing apples to cars. the growth in the economy can be and usually is fudged to make it look better than it really is unless it really is good and even then.... pure rubbish. you have no grounds to stand on with this claim. until another census is taken nobody has any idea how accurate those unemployment numbers really are and that number also doesnt take into account the number of people who lost a job and were forced to take another one at half of their previous pay. inflation isnt as big of an issue as stagflation which we are currently dealing with. the biggest indicator of the weakness in the economy is the commodities markets. the biggest indicator of the dollar is the oil market. otherwise commodities trade just like everything else. stagflation isnt an issue at all at this time. even with reports of excesses like in oil the price not only doesnt go down as they should they set new records which shows that the people in the know see how bad things really are and keep putting their money where they feel it is safest regardless of reports. this is because of the low dollar not the economy. try reading a few reports on this rather than making assinine assumptions. -- max everyone is entitled to his own opinion he is not entitled to his own facts. sen. daniel patrick moynihan of new york .
