I have. We've debated this on GFY. We've debated the different kinds of unemployment. And no matter what, no matter how you look it..... Unemployment is down, across the board, in all types. The unemployment rate is the standard for how the economy is doing. It always has been, and always will.

People vote for change because they think change is better. "Change" always seems better. Unemployment has been cut in half in the past six years - why would we want to change that? Unemployment has been on a decline since 2010 or so. Why would we want change? We want unemployment to go up?
What has happened in the past eight years that has been so bad that we need change? Did we start any more new wars? Did we have a major terrorist attack?
