I've never seen so many people so happy about bad news for our country. Amazing. It's as if these folks are celebrating this bad news.

My, oh my...

An administration that will lie about the death of our Ambassador thinks nothing of lying about the jobs report.
The sad thing is some people can't see that they are lies. They have no concept of who and what Obama is.

When the economy improves, there will be cuts in government handouts.
We should be putting out the U6 numbers, because it shows a drop when the economy is improving, and it goes up when fewer people are employed.

The U3 can go up, making it look like the economy is getting worse, when actually, more people are entering the work force and looking for work.

The U3 can also go down, making it look like more people are getting jobs, when the economy is actually getting worse, because people are leaving the work force and giving up on looking for work. These past years of the 0bama economy are perfect examples of the U3 is going down, when the economy is actually seeing millions of people giving up looking for work.

The usual suspects quick to judge us are staying away from this thread. The ones that are coming here are doing nothing but deflecting and making irrelevant posts that have nothing to do with the OP. They can't defend the fact that they jumped the gun on calling us liars and conspiracy theorists for pointing out that something doesn't seem right

More like be here any minute to deflect, make up excuses or try to spin the numbers to show how they were right all along.

Obama could say there were 13 months in the year and they'd perform mental, mathematical, societal and linguistic gymnastics to claim he was right.

It's not rocket math!

He is someone who has been concerned about our economy and has been vocal about it.
