Unemployment numbers

[SteamWake]

Yesterday a speech was given in which the claims of slowing down of 'contraction' and actual growth in the economy.

I'm not so sure where they are getting their data from but this map is a stark representation of the situation since 2007. It is quite dramatic and shocking to see it depected in this manner.



and then today I read this...

President Barack Obama outlined new multibillion-dollar stimulus and jobs proposals Tuesday, saying the nation must continue to "spend our way out of this recession" until more Americans are back at work.

Spend you way out of debt? What the hell? Isnt that what caused alot of this go begin with?
