I really think that the economic problems we are having are a result of a combination of events - Sept. 11th, the war in Iraq, the dot com bust of the stock market in 2000, and fraud such as Enron, Tyco, etc. I really don't think that you can blame President Clinton or President Bush. I'm sure that there are other factors that I didn't mention.
I haven't watched MTV in a long time, but that story really disturbs me.
The unemployment figures are difficult to calculate because once someone no longer receives benefits, they are off the unemployment list. There are many people who are unemployed, underemployed, employed part time, or on a temporary basis who do not qualify for unemployment benefits. I know many people who have been out of work for over a year and have used up their benefits, but cannot find a full time job.
