[QUOTE=Guest;448833] Did it ever occur to you that many of the long term unemployed have succombed to starvation since republicans refuse to extend unemployment benefits?[/QUOTE]

Ummm...aren't you talking about the exact same group of people that I was referring to in my original post?

The long-term unemployed people who are no longer eligible to collect unemployment so they are not counted in the unemployment statisitics?

The same group of people that the Buggy one claimed that I was "making up statistics on"?

Former Labor Secretary Elaine Chao says, “Real Unemployment Numbers Are Double. All of us have friends or family members who have been unemployed so long they don’t show up on the government indicators. Those only track NEW unemployment claims."
