Unemployed or out of work ... Democratic economics Thx Sarah R!

Absolutely Brilliant !!!

   ABBOTT: Good Subject.  Terrible Times.  It’s 5.6%.

   COSTELLO:  That many people are out of work?

   ABBOTT: No, that’s 23%.

   COSTELLO: You just said 5.6%.

   ABBOTT:  5.6% Unemployed.

   COSTELLO:  Right 5.6% out of work.

   ABBOTT: No, that’s 23%.

   COSTELLO: Okay, so it’s  23% unemployed.

   ABBOTT: No, that’s 5.6%.

   COSTELLO:  WAIT A MINUTE. Is it 5.6% or 23%?

   ABBOTT: 5.6% are unemployed.  23% are out of work.

   COSTELLO: If you are out of work you are unemployed.

   ABBOTT:  No, Congress said you can’t count the “Out of Work” as the unemployed.  You have to look for work to be unemployed.

   COSTELLO: BUT THEY ARE OUT OF WORK!!!

   ABBOTT: No, you miss his point.

   COSTELLO:  What point?

   ABBOTT:  Someone who doesn’t look for work can’t be counted with those who look for work. It wouldn’t be fair.

   COSTELLO: To whom?

   ABBOTT: The unemployed.

   COSTELLO: But ALL of them are out of work.

   ABBOTT: No, the unemployed are actively looking for work. Those who are out of work gave up looking and if you give up, you are no longer in the ranks of the unemployed.

   COSTELLO: So if you’re off the unemployment roles that would count as less unemployment?

   ABBOTT: Unemployment would go down. Absolutely!

   COSTELLO: The unemployment just goes down because you don’t look for work?

   ABBOTT: Absolutely it goes  down. That’s how it gets to 5.6%. Otherwise it would be 23%.

   COSTELLO: Wait, I got a question for you. That means there are two ways to bring down the unemployment number?

   ABBOTT: Two ways is correct.

   COSTELLO: Unemployment can go down if someone gets a job?

   ABBOTT: Correct.

   COSTELLO: And unemployment can also go down if you stop looking for a job?

   ABBOTT: Bingo.

   COSTELLO: So there are two ways to bring unemployment down, and the easier of the two is to have people stop looking for work.

   ABBOTT: Now you’re thinking like an Economist.

   COSTELLO:  I don’t even know what the hell I just said!

   ABBOTT: Now you’re thinking like a Politician.

Marius Jovaisa Matanzas, Matanzas Province.

As relations between the Cuba and the US begin to mellow, the Caribbean country is becoming more and more accessible.

But back in 2010, when Marius Jovaisa first visited the island, things were still quite tense. This presented a challenge to the aerial photographer, who has a long history of photographing beautiful locations from above, and many books and international exhibits of under his belt. 

Jovaisa had come to Cuba with a plan to shoot the island's diverse landscape from the sky. The task turned out to be a tall one.

After two years of pleading with the Cuban government, Jovaisa was finally granted permission to photograph Cuba from above, and he became the first photographer to do so.

He spent two and a half years on the project and his subsequent book, "Unseen Cuba," is now available for purchase. The photographs give an exhaustive survey of Cuba from the sky, showing us just how varied and beautiful a place it can be.

to me

Urgent Message from Ben Carson Friend, I'm not running for president to build my resume, and the last thing I want to be is a politician. We all saw the CNBC debate. And we all realize what we are fighting against. I have been exposing the bias of the media during my campaign for months. And they have targeted me for doing it. But last night we saw other candidates join my fight against the P.C. bullies. I realize that when you take them on, you can pay a heavy price. But I'm doing this for our children and grandchildren. Our Constitution was written for them — to empower them and to ensure that they'd have the opportunity to fulfill their God-given potential. Recent polls that show me leading this race in Iowa and across the nation. My success shows that I am not on this journey alone – you and millions like you are standing with me. But there are powerful forces at work that would like to see our campaign stopped. They did not like it when I said the Second Amendment guarantees our right to bear arms as a bulwark against tyranny.  They do not like it when I defend every American's unalienable right to life.  They do not like it when I expose the way President Obama has divided our nation. But my friend, these are simple truths. Frankly, my jump to first place in the critical early-voting state of Iowa is humbling. I know it is the cause of freedom that joins us together. I'm encouraged that so many of my fellow Americans are open to embracing a true outsider. October has been a month of real momentum, but before it ends I ask you to join me by making a donation to my campaign of any amount. Many in the political class don't seem to understand it, but something historic is happening across America. Join with me today and show you support – Go Here Now We've been told that only politicians can fix our problems, but I believe that traditional "political experience" is much less important than faith, honesty, courage, and an unshakable belief in the principles that made America the greatest nation in the world. Thank you, and I hope I can count on you to stand with me, and show your support before the end of October. Sincerely, Ben Carson P.S. My campaign has now received over 750,000 grassroots donations. No matter how small, your donation will make a huge difference. Donate Here Now.   Carson America, Inc | P.O.

All great things are simple ... from UK's great Marian Simms! Thx Murion!

All great things are simple, and many can _be expressed in single words: freedom, justice, honor, duty, mercy, hope.
