The United States and Russia Friday finalized the first major nuclear arms control treaty in nearly two decades. Do you believe Russia still poses a nuclear threat to the United States?
I would think that any country that has a nuclear tipped ICBM aimed at our country is a threat.

State's unemployment picture looking a bit better
The figures above came directly from the State Department of Labor.
I have to agree with edjayhawk that it appears that there are less people receiving unemployment benefits and that skews the unemployment rate.
I guess the disturbing piece here is the State felt the need to issue a press release and the media just repeats the message.
