Some FET (Financial Entertainment Television) Spokesperson compared Current Unemployment to Employment as a Basketball to a Quarter. An absurd comparison, showing how deep the rabbit hole runs. This is not just about being optimistic, they are trying to deceive. A more fair comparison would be a Tennis Ball to a Ping Pong Ball.
