Many are milking unemployment benefits until the last possible day, then switching to welfare, food stamps, and other government handouts. Some are 62 or older and stayed on unemployment just long enough to retire and seamlessly move on to Social Security after their jobless benefits are done.
The Obama apologists and mainstream media (sorry for repeating myself) claim the economy is improving and unemployment declining.

Here are the Las Vegas numbers — read ‘em and weep. The facts are that during the past 12 months 2,000 Las Vegans found jobs, while 20,000 gave up looking for work.
According to Obamanomics and the president’s crack statisticians that means the unemployment rate went down. Does that make sense to you?
