I think the 87 million figure is badly bloated. I don't like to see that kind of thing. Actual unemployment numbers are bad enough. Nothing gained from exagrating.

My previous comment to you was based on you saying:

"people over 65---They're retired or should be retired.

Kids under 18 -- they should all be in school. Whether they are or not. So don't count them either."

I agree that kids over 18 should be in school, but millions are not. If they and those over 65 who are looking for work and can't find it, belong in the unemployment stats.

IMO, your comments were imperious.
