I think that is what the OP was going for. nope. what i said was that you're too stupid to understand how it's measured and so is he ---------------------------------------------------------- I am "stupid" because I posed a legitimate question? Not counting those who have given up looking, even though employable, is dishonest and totally misleading to the public. Hint: The "real" unemployment rate is near 20%. That's scary. Eisboch (not so dumb after all) Yes, this was the same dolt who some time ago claimed Germany had significantly less than 20% unemployment. He's only a dolt because he talks with the nuts, insults almost everybody he speaks to, and repeats the same things over and over. Otherwise, he's usually right. German unemployment is about 6%. Anybody can find that with a few key clicks. Same deceptive math, but they want to believe what the want to believe. Here's some more economic facts. There's a whole bunch countries with an AAA credit rating. Austrailia Austria Canada Denmark Finland France Germany Guernsey Hong Kong Isle of Man Liechtenstein Luxembourg Netherlands Norway Singapore Sweden Switzerland United Kingdom Many people in the U.S.A. call those countries "socialist" because they all have universal health care and old age pensions. Seems crazy to them. The U.S.A. has an AA rating and no universal health care. Second class compared to the countries on the above list. The U.S.A. does have food stamps. About 20% of Americans qualify for and use food stamps. You can't buy beer with food stamps, so personally I don't want to ever depend on food stamps. Even if I had beer money on the side. Food stamps are second class "money." Many people living in the countries with AAA ratings have trouble understanding why 20% of the people in the U.S.A. are on food stamps, with which they can't buy beer. Seems crazy to them. You can decide for yourself who's crazy. Actually, the US still has AAA from the two others, and S&P has had all sorts of problems lately, not to mention their $2T error. The problem with the other AAA rated countries is that they don't have the financial depth to be the backstop currency. The US does and will remain the currency of last resort for the foreseeable future. |
