Map, can I get a source for your contention that the unemployment rate in 2000 was around 3.5%?

2 years. As soon as the new minimum wage is fully implemented. If I can afford to pay 5 people $5 an hour ($25), I can only afford 3 at $7 per hour ($21). I just laid off 2/5 of my work force. Those 3 have to work harder to do the work of 5 people, and 2 people are now on unemployment. Way to go Democrats!
Did everyone that votes Democrat fail every math and economics class?

The unemployment rate is already artificially low because so many U.S. citizens are involved in either a war or attending colleges and universities. Welfare recipients, by the way, are not counted as unemployed. The only people counted as unemployed are those that are recieving unemployment compensation and these are a mere fraction of the actually unemployed people in the U.S.

If you check the statistics, you will find that the unemployment rate goes down when we have a Democrat President.

Who cares. I'm a hard-working liberal, so I'm not going to be one of the unemployed.

That would be almost double what it was when Clinton left.
