I'm not questioning that we're down a half a point from last year, I'm questioning the baseline figures themselves.

They also gave figures for the young people who moved back home, near as I recall the number tripled from summat like 23% to 70%.

All these numbers aside does anyone honestly believe that all these dumbass bills Boehner & Co. are proposing are going to put anyone back to work?
