The Governor of South Carolina, Mark Sanford, claims that the state's unemployment commission does not know how to calculate the unemployment rate in the state. The director of the commission says he has no money to pay the 77,000 unemployed people in the state and has asked the governor to get the money from the federal government, which is a fairly standard way these things are handled. Sanford had refused to do so a couple of times. Finally, Sanford has decided to do so as he does not want to "punish the unemployed for this agency’s incompetence."
Could the agency be that incompetent or is the governor one of those people who believes that everyone must conform to his idea of reality.
