That wonderful Bush-McCain economy

62,000 jobs lost in June. But the unemployment rate didn't change. Because those people aren't employed. They aren't unemployed. They simply... aren't. And John McInsane hasn't a clue. As he said himself, "The issue of economics is not something I've understood as well as I should." And at a January town hall meeting in Concord, N.H., McCain told the crowd, "I am not an expert on Wall Street. I am not an expert on some of this stuff." If you've "disappeared" the unemployed, well, maybe that's not a problem. No people, no problem, as Stalin put it, right?
