Well, this week I went from #221 on our Union's out of work list to #212. At this rate I should be uptop of the list around 2011. The national statistics released today showed unemployment going up about 650,000 this past month from a February total of 12.5 million unemployed to 13.2 million unemployed. All the talk about turning the corner is a carry over from George Bush's "go out and consume" philosophy that if we all buy more, we'll feel better and buy more and then the economy will get better. Madness.
If our 13.2 million army of unemployed was a state in the union, it would now be the 5th biggest state behind California, New York, Texas and Florida, and bigger than states like Pennsylvania and Illinois. The madness and inefficiency of the Market.
