Why don`t we create jobs the rethug way

[lefthandedlefty]

Cut the extension for unemployment benefits just allow people to collect 26 weeks.Rethugs calculate unemployment numbers by the number collecting benefits not the actual number out of work.With the stroke of a pen unemployment would drop to 6 or 7 percent.Now before everyone starts wanting to lynch me I do not want this to happen I am just saying this is how a repuke would handle it.

3. But that isn't how unemployment is calculated

It's never been how unemployment is calculated. Republicans included different sets of people and changed what defines a small business to include raking leaves, but number of people collecting unemployment is not the unemployment figure.

8. People selling their belongings on ebay to pay bills

are considered "jobs created" by Chee-nee and the bushies.

5. We ARE creating jobs the rethug way.

We just moved the concentration of employment from Iraq to Afghanistan, that's all.

7. You are confused. Only in your mind is unemployment calculated that.

If you are receiving benefits on not has no relevance on unemployment numbers.
