Unemployment is lower than in the early 90's and isn't even remotely as high as it got in the early 80's. You can look this stuff up, you know. You don't have to be ignorant and stupid; it's a choice.
Where do you get your info from? The so-called "decline" in unemployment (as others have already pointed out) is based only on the figures of people who are currently collecting UEC benefits. It DOES NOT reflect the figures of those whose UEC benefits have already expired, those who were declined UEC benefits (collecting after losing you job is NOT ALWAYS automatic), or those collecting welfare (because they simply have nowhere else to turn). The Bush administration is doing a great job of painting this country's economy to appear MUCH better than it actually is, and riding the wave of Saddam only goes so far.
