U.S. Senator Bernie Sanders: Unemployment not really 5.5%, it's 11%

Now, this is a very interesting statement considering the source.

On Wednesday, U.S. Senator Bernie Sanders (I-VT) told MSNBC that he doesn't believe the unemployment rate is 5.5%, but in reality 11%.

“The reality is that real unemployment, Mika, is not 5.5%. It is 11% including those people who have given up looking for work and are working part-time.

"Youth unemployment remains 18%, and it’s part of a 40-year trajectory the American middle class continues to decline, and we need very bold action," Sanders said.

WOW! Bernie is sounding like a conservative Republican.
