Believe it – Employment Numbers Were Ginned

Unemployment rate is a murky calculation based on approximate data gathered by questionable methods, tallied by inept people, disseminated by a department with its own agenda and no accountability if it lies. The total number of people employed at any given time is a much simpler and accurate statistic, much less susceptible to manipulation and distortion. And the total number of Americans holding jobs is less now than when Barry took office. Claims he created millions of jobs are irrelevant when the bottom line is less people working now than in January 09. Other simpler numbers like people on food stamps, people receiving unemployment, people below the poverty line, foreclosures, falling income, and declining net worth all support

the picture of a declniing economy. This decline is due to the way Barry has seized upon the policy and spending mistakes of his predecessors and expanded and accelerated every one. Good job, Barry. There is some small chance another few voters have learned there is no such thing as a free lunch.

A couple weeks ago, this column analyzed the inflation rate reported by the Bureau of Labor Statistics (BLS), and concluded that you should rely on your common sense when the government reports questionable statistics. If they don’t make sense based on what you see, experience, and hear from your friends, then they’re probably wrong. Last week’s unemployment number – which decreased to a still-dismal 7.8% – should not only make no sense to you, but should have never made sense to the BLS and therefore should never have been issued.

So am I just popping off or is there...
