Great example of why we shouldn't just blindly absorb memes. I'm not arguing on the side of the cartoon businessman here, but if the memesmith is talking about the US they're just plain wrong - unemployment is NOT "sky high" or even regular high. It's a little above the 50-year low we had a couple years ago, but it's below historical average. But if you don't already know that and can't be bothered to look it up, you're being led around by the nose. Brawndo is Brawndo, no matter who serves it up or why. Now go ahead and douchevote this like a good little trooper!

And no, I'm not trying to make everything be about America. It's somewhat implied by the red, white & blue and let's face it, most posts here are already about America.
