Also the fake paying back of loans to GM and the banks are considered revenue.

Especially considering that the government doesn't take into consideration anyone who has given up looking for a job and is not applying for Unemployment. I am a stay at home mom after working for 25 years in the workforce. I don't think they count me as out of work, although I am looking.

A lot of the new ObamaCare taxes are taking effect. I'm guessing that is where it comes from. I tend to question any numbers coming from the government these days.
