A stupid population makes for nice, docile sheeple, that don't protest as they're economically raped up the bung hole. There's more reality reflected in 'Idiocracy' than most people care to admit.

Nope. Illegal immigrants are not included in the government's rather narrow definition of unemployment (nor are 'discouraged' workers [those who have given up looking], the underemployed [e.g. someone working 15 hours per week making one-third what they used to at their former full time job]...
