Even the most optimistic economists will never assert full employment ranges above 5 percent -- and some argue the actual mark is lower than that.


And I believe it is immoral and unChristian.

....and another thing, compare the United States' unemployment with Germany or any other Socialist state. Americans are proud. Too damn proud. When they lose their job, they don't want to move to find work. They don't want to take a lower paying job. They want to sit on their asses and ***** about the President that had NOTHING to do with the damn economy. Clinton was more detrimental to our economy than Bush. High taxation NEVER equals a boosted economy.


....and stop throwing that "Christian" word around. It is apparent you only bring it up when it suits you.

I'm taking a leap and assuming that the European Union calculates its unemployment rate in roughly the same way as the United States.

The Dutch unemployment rate is 3.9 percent, and the Dutch have a national health care system.

The Austrian unemployment rate is 4.3 percent, and the Austrians have a national health care system.

The Irish unemployment rate is 4.6 percent, and the Irish have a national health care system.

The Danish unemployment rate is 5.2 percent, and the Danes have a national health care system.

The Japanese unemployment rate is 5.4 percent, and the Japanese have a national health care system.

We Americans have a 6.2 percent unemployment rate. We spend a greater percentage of our gross national product on health care than the countries I've listed above. And we don't have universal health care.
