So the republicans claim unemployment is down, huh? Heres my twisted theory. We are in a war that is being fought by hundreds of thousands of National Guard Soldiers, who, usually have a full-time, regular job.(And a BIG thanks to all you Guardsmen/women!) So someone needs to fill their job while they're off serving. (Temporarily, of course). So when the Dems win the White house, bring back our Soldiers, ending temporary employment for the masses will raise the unemployment rates, and the Republicans can say "We told you so!" At least, that's what runs through this registered Independants head.
