The burden of proof is on you buddy, you made an outrageous claim and posted a google search chocked full of extremist right wing blogs...

And since you get all of your news from hot air (a website started by Michelle Malkin), proudly proclaim that you're an avid Ann Coulter reader and have in the past quoted white supremacists I think you're the one who's got to prove ****.

Those 92 million are workers who are no longer in the work force, not minors, nor retirees. You do know the difference. Yes?

Now you are lying.

To obtain the figure you presented, you must subtract the amount of people working from the civilian population.

Civilian population: People who live in the United States, are older than 16, and who are not in a institution (criminal, mental, or other types of facilities) or an active duty military personnel. This population figure is used in many statistics, including the civilian unemployment rate.

Asking someone to prove a negative is the first sign that they have not a single idea what they are talking about.
 
Re: Silicon Valley billionaire compares treatment of America's rich to Nazi persecuti

And just to set the record straight, the number of people unemployed in the U.S.:

What negative? It should be very easy to prove that the number of unemployed workers isn't 92 million. You could post information that proves that the number of unemployed workers is, say, 10 million. Easy, huh?

You claim I'm wrong. It's now YOUR responsibility to prove that I'm wrong. We all know you can't, but you either have to make the attempt, or admit that you can't.

And since you get all of your news from hot air (a website started by Michelle Malkin), proudly proclaim that you're an avid Ann Coulter reader and have in the past quoted white supremacists I think you're the one who's got to prove ****.

This goes to show just how weak Libbos are. They can only take pot-shots and tell lies. I've NEVER quoted ANY white supremacist. Anymore basement topics that you want to bring up?

Apparently not! And if we reach 100 million unemployed, where is the money going to come from to take of them? We're looking at nearly $ 18 trillion dollars in debt before too long...why doesn't that bother those who refuse to face reality? :shock:

So now your nonsense goes from "91 million unemployed" to "the government fudges the numbers". You seemed confident in their data analysis enough to tout 91 million.

You are either a liar, or don't know what you are talking about.

Either way, you are wrong.

It is not a good idea to cheerlead ignorance, no matter how much you want to believe it.

Without evidence.

YOU made an outrageous claim with only a google search to back it up.

It's on you to prove that outrageous claim.

I posted an article, by a guy who turned out to be a white supremacist. That's different than, "quoting white supremacists". It's English, not that big-a-deal. Be that as it may, it doesn't change the fact that the article was correct, no matter who wrote it.

What? The article is just racist drivel? Ok...

Black Slave Owners: Did They Exist? - The Root

I guess you're going to tell us that Henry Gates is a racist, white supremacist, now. Yes?

I would like to think that with the addition of Gates's article, we wouldn't see you people constantly bring up that Robert Grooms article hundreds, thousands of times more, but alas, it's really all you folks have when it comes to debating abilities.

A little piece of wisdom for you, my friend: historically correct information is still historically correct, no matter who you get it from.

You now switch to the U6 rate, which measures: Total unemployed, plus all marginally attached workers plus total employed part time for economic reasons

It actually counts discouraged workers plus part time for economic reasons (underemployed).

Still not 91 million. Will you admit your error?

The U-6 was what was being referred to, all along.

U6 is not 91 million. You are off by 64%.

91 million unemployed.

You also said it didn't count elderly or children (which it clearly did).

Oh, I definitely agree! The facts and data speak for themselves, especially when the information is coming from the government itself, and the trend is heading in the wrong direction. Flowery rhetoric has its place, but most people do not cheerlead a failure.
