So When

do we start calling this a depression? What's the magic threshold? And do we use real unemployment numbers or the government cooked variety?

The Savior and his comedy court keep telling us the economy is getting better but we keep on losing jobs by the thousands each and every month. The unemployment figures, even if true, only count those receiving unemployment compensation, so the real numbers are much higher, estimated by some to be around 17%. And if the Savior has his way, we've only seen the beginning.
