Record unemployment ( the numbers of people that government doesn;t count)
Failed in the very first sentence.
Are you seriously alleging that unemployment is higher now than it was during the 1930s? Really?
1929 - 3.2 percent
1930 - 8.7 percent
1931 - 15.9 percent
1932 - 23.6 percent
1933 - 24.9 percent (the highest during the Great Depression)
1934 - 21.7 percent
1935 - 20.1 percent
1936 - 16.9 percent
1937 - 14.3 percent
1938 - 19.0 percent
I'll go with the highest since the 30's 
And you'd be wrong.

Im kinda betting the numbers from the 30s vs your graph vs today were figured differently

Uh that doesn't matter. Unless the numbers on the graph itself are figured differently from 1980 to now no matter what the numbers were in the 1930s the numbers in 1983 would still be worse than in 2009. |

We don't measure unemployment the same now as we did in the 30's or the 80's. You hide a lot of unemployment now. You can't compare the rates directly.

I do hope you're right with your title AT, we've been in a funk for far too long now, it's about time we break out. I don't care who gets credit, I just don't wanna suffer anymore and want my kids, who are just getting into the work force, to have some good opportunities.

No time to look it up, but basically until the 80's we essentially used U6 as the unemployment rate. Now we use U3. Presto, millions of unemployed are now NOT unemployed. Magic.

The biggest part of the increase in consumer spending is forced through higher food and gas prices rather than from increased consumer confidence or disposable income.

Higher food prices = Thank you George Bush for subsidizing corn biofuel and driving up feed and grain product prices across the country!
Higher gas prices = Thank you Barack Obama for getting the economy back on track!
