Do you get the feeling that when the ruling elites talk about unemployment that they've never been unemployed?Unemployment to professional beltway types means "the time period you have to live off of severance before you can get a new think tank/Village bobblehead/lobbying/boardroom/college president/'Hey, check out who's on our letterhead!' position" so the answer to that is "yes, pretty much."
Sadly I think they honestly assume that it can't be bad out there when the Ruling Elite unemployment rate is really more like five percent, so really Americans are doing just fine. Besides, people are still buying things like iPads and Prius hybrids and Starcraft 2 on the PC so the economy has to be pretty good. I mean the Dow's still over 10k even after a horrible week so we're a little slow but hey, the guys in charge have it under control.
Right?
