Cynical Coincidenc​e?..............from Rico

You may remember hearing about the 99-ers...long-term unemployed that had exhausted their extended and emergency unemployment benefits.
- From July 2010 to April 2012 there were 2.46 million of them who 'dropped off' unemployment benefits.

Over the same time period, the number of people collecting 'disability' benefits increased by 2.20 million.

Coincidence? I think maybe not.
- Consider for a moment that people on disability are NOT 'officially' counted as unemployed!

Governments can be cynical, but you absolutely need wings to stay above the current levels of cynicism and hypocracy displayed by this lot.
