Pelosi: Unemployment would be 15 percent were it not for us. It IS 15%, you jackass! The only reason the U3 (“official”) number is 9% is because so many folks have given up LOOKING for a job and are not deemed part of the “official” labor force. But if we use the U6 number which counts these people, the current rate is over 15%.

But she is all for the "little people." And I don't mean dwarfs!
Actuallty, the unemployement rate is twice higher than what the US governement gives.
If they used the true and accurate numbers the unemployment most likely will be 15% and not the 9% that is being reported by the DoL.
At least they have not yet gone to the Stalin philosophy of reducing the numbers of the unemployed
Ole' Plastic Face strikes again. The delusional wrinkled old whore has gotten rich off screwing over the people she represents, and it seems the people in her district are too stupid to notice.
She's lucky she got big breasts
Nothing overcomes that face.
I'd be willing to bet that the ACTUAL rate in California is at least 15%.
Not that Nancy cares. She's got hers.
In some counties in Kalifornia it runs as high at 22 percent. So I doubt if 15 percent is a real number.
That would be the counties that used to be productive, with farming as the main industry. You know, feeding the world. But now that they aren't allowed to farm, nobody works. No food produced. And who do we have to blame for that? That's right. Democrats.
And the cost of food keeps rising. Granted, in America we spend far less (percentage of total income) than any other country on earth. Still, we also feed half the rest of the planet, so no food here means a sharp drop in food elsewhere. Once again, you stop production, and the poor suffer.
Nancy is even dumber than I had first suspected. Only 15% unemployment? Why not say 30% unemployment, you brainless twit. Rich, dumb, given to big lies and meaningless claims, Nancy leads America off the economic cliff while claiming all sorts of taxpayer provided privleges for herself.
I wonder if she'll find the courage to disown the OWS violence in Oakland.
....Nah!
Actually, the real number is about 17% according to the U6 number. Which is more like the real number then the "official" number.
Brain in neutral, mouth in gear again. Nancy does not have any concept of being unemployed, or not having a gooberment jet haul you around at our expense. I wish Nancy was one of the unemployed with no pension and no healthcare, then perhaps we would not have had to pay for her facelift.
Which one?
All of them..........
