In his final New Rule of the night, Bill Maher argued against the conventional wisdom that the economy is in a really bad place, saying that the economy is actually better than all the fearmongering would otherwise suggest. Maher acknowledged it’s a game played by both Republicans and Democrats, even President Obama himself, but said that politicians need to start being honest about the economy and not perpetuating the idea that it is a “complete shambles.” -snip-

1. The rich like unemployment. It stops inflation (which eats away at their money) and

lowers wages (which makes the millions they do have worth more relatively). Unlike the GOP with their phoney worries about unemployment, Obama actually would like the jobs situation to improve and will work on that in his next term.
