I'm Betting 20% | 9:30 p.m. July 9, 2009
When the government says we are at 9.5% unemployment, they do not take into consideration those that have passed the time limit for unemployment insurance that have automatically DROPPED from the count of unemployed.
If you take those that have dropped and add them into the mix I would guess and bet that our unemployment would easily hit 20%... Prove me wrong....
