people that want to work but cant find work?

Why won’t anyone pay me $100 an hour?

That's Ricky Bobby's version of unemployed.

Great stuff, thanks again!

what are you basing that on?

U-6 is 8%. the way they measure unemployment is a joke anyways. reagan and clinton both changed it.

If you understood what you were talking about. I would ask you the elaborate on what you were talking about. You are always short on the details.

because the people that are making that money have kept it for themselves. thats how capitalism works. the economy is weak because of capitalism.

[rickyb]

3-4% is full employment.

[rickyb]

so in the other systems the top dont keep it

many other systems also do which is why they are failures like capitalism.

people keep comparing how capitalism is different from other systems, but its more revealing to compare where they are the same.

There is no strong economy that does not reward 'the inventors and the movers' so there is no comparison.

"The lies employed to camouflage the economic decline are legion. President Ronald Reagan included 1.5 million U.S. Army, Navy, Air Force and Marine service personnel with the civilian work force to magically reduce the nation’s unemployment rate by 2 percent. President Bill Clinton decided that those who had given up looking for work, or those who wanted full-time jobs but could only find part-time employment, were no longer to be counted as unemployed. This trick disappeared some 5 million unemployed from the official unemployment rolls. If you work more than 21 hours a week — most low-wage workers at places like Wal-Mart average 28 hours a week — you are counted as employed, although your real wages put you below the poverty line." - chris hedges

Look out your window and look to the clouds, the bombing starts in five minutes. There's big money in war. Capitalism must roll on.

Sounds pretty foolish coming from me doesn't it? It's equally as foolish coming from you.
