Aside from the fact that I can't figure out what the left axis of the graph is supposed to mean (does ANYONE ever link to their original data sources?) this is an unbelievable stretch, although like I said, I'm not surprised. Did anyone bitch about the "augmented unemployment rate" during Clinton's administration, which looked to be about 7 percent at its lowest? In fact, like the word "chickenhawk," did anyone mention the phrase at all for eight solid years?

I realize economists could redefine the Sahara into an ocean, but let's try and at least use the same units each time when we are talking about progress or failure.
