If You're Underemployed Get Used to It, America. . . .

RUSH: From Gallup: "Gallup's underemployment measure hit 20.0% on March 15 -- up from 19.7% two weeks earlier and 19.5% at the start of the year. Gallup Daily tracking makes it possible to monitor the underemployment rate throughout the month, rather than just once per month, making it the best and most timely way to measure the U.S. jobs situation. The findings underscore why Americans say the most important problem facing the nation today is jobs and unemployment."

Well, I'm sorry. If you're unemployed, get used to it. We are facing a permanent unemployment rate of nine to 10% or greater, and the passage of the health care bill, when he signs it, practically guarantees it. I mean, we don't have any of the money that we are going to spend on this. We do not have it. More money is going to be taxed on individuals and businesses in order to give the illusion of paying for this health care bill. More and more money is being taken out of the private sector, which is where unemployment exists, and with no growth in the private sector, there aren't going to be any jobs.
