Little Milton Friedman shouldn't feel bad for not knowing how unemployemnt is calculated. Most people don't, and most people don't know that if your unemployment runs out you are shit out of luck. The adminstration counts on you not knowing when they paint their rosy pictures.
Little Milton, SHOULD however blame himself for his knee jerk reaction to the article. He fancies himself a Liberatarian but falls squarely into the 'Oh, they just hate Bush' camp. There's no 'just' about it. I hate Bush on viceral personal levels, it's true, but devoid of all that, it's easy to hate what a bad president he is. Counting on the general public not knowing that the unemployment stats are not based on the actual number of people out of work is the sort of cynical shit that makes me hate him.
