I love it when people make broad statements like "you're the definition of a sap" and then provide zero evidence to back up the claim. It's a classic method of argumentation for someone who has no argument. |
I figured you might be smart enough to know why that figure is bullshit, but I guess not.
The number doesn't include people who are unemployed and have stopped looking for work, only people who are still receiving unemployment benefits.
Therefore, it doesn't count the disillusioned and hopeless unemployed, which, considering the economy, is probably a substantial and growing amount of people.
