Will killing the jobs bill lower the unemployment rate? [View All]

[LonePirate]

Does anyone know the answer to this question? If people start rolling off the unemployment ranks at 200,000 a week, will that generate a decrease in the unemployment rate since those 800K monthly workers will no longer be included in the counts of the available work force which is one of the contributors to determining the overall unemployment rate?

If we currently have 15,000,000 people looking for work and 135,000,000 working (a 10% unemployment rate), won't that 800K reduction cut the unemployment rate by a couple of tenths a month?

I am totally sickened by the Rs and the D traitors who voted against cloture on the jobs bill. In addition to their newfound devotion to deficit cutting, I'm thinking the Rs believe not passing this bill will hurt Obama and the Ds this fall. However, wouldn't an unemployment rate that drops by a full percent or more by November be good news for the Ds? I guess I am just trying to assail the Rs with some logic in order to find a way to burn those heartless snakes when the mid-terms arrive.
