Is Double-Digit Unemployment Here to Stay?

So asks Time magazine.

Answer: Yes. As long as Obama is in office.

What we have here is a lowering of expectations – the MSM has been doing backbreaking work trying to talk everyone in to believing the economy is great and thus its time to spend, spend, spend our way out of the doldrums. As people have been saving money and the economy continues to contract (yes, I know that the government will almost certainly tell us we returned to growth in the third quarter of this year…but that will just be the sort of BS designed to gull liberals…sensible people will pay no attention to it) it looks as though the “wish real hard” economic model is going bust. But the MSM still have to get Obama re-elected in 2012. What to do?

Essentially, call it “funemployment” and hope that people are fooled in to voting Obama after stopping off at the unemployment line…we’ll see how this plays out.
