That was a rude response to the truth as I have seen and taken due note of. This is a very biig problem and there are no excuses for fudging the
numbers that they want to represent the current state of unemployment.
As I said just take a good look at the growing number of people applying for aid and you will begin to see more clearly the real numbers of people on
the unemployment roles.
You can also look at the community dinners and the ever expanding numbers of families and individuals attending those. The food banks and thrift
stores are also a good meter for exacting the reality behind what people are going through.
I could go on as there are so many programs stretched to capacities never before reached such as the energy assistance programs, free and reduced
school meals, Holiday meals and children's gifts for Christmas, to name just a few.
Free and reduced walkin clinics for healthcare, miles for smiles for dental help to the needy, these lists as I say just keep building.
I do not know where you live or how you came to the conclusions you have, but I urge you to take a step back and get involved in your community this
Holiday season and see what I am seeing. IMO these unemployment numbers are hiding the truth and it all comes down Politics and the way Politicians
need to be seen during their terms in order to create continuity and not chaos.
If you have some way of showing me that these numbers are based in reality for the average person, family then I am more than open to learning
something new.
