Unemployment at 10.2% is only those who actively seek work. The actual rate of those who are unemployed is likely closer to 20%. 1 in every 5 working-age Americans is out of a job.

Remember when Obama said that we could stop unemployment from reaching double digits by spending $1 trillion? Could you imagine going to a cobbler, having him tell you he could fix your shoes for $1000, and having the soles fall off shortly thereafter?
Yes, but unbeknownst the the new cobbler, the previous cobbler had been routinely taking a piss on the shoes for the past 8 years, and it weakened the leather more than anyone realized.
