Do you want to convince people that your side is right with only the flimsiest proof? Does the idea of tricking people with numbers make you all happy inside? Then come join us as we walk through “How To Use Charts To Say Anything”.
Start with the raw data;
and make it look like this;

Instead of worrying about how high the line is, we’re only going to worry about how steep the line is. That way, the number will look good even if we keep losing jobs.
Those charts are ALL MEANINGLESS, they prove NOTHING. The facts are that we have an economy that is driven by debt, not people's earnings. The facts are that we shipped all of our wealth offshore. As I've said elsewhere on this board, Adam Smith must be rolling in his grave.
You know..it's a good thing the economy has rebounded.
All those states that took the unemployment part of the stimulus had to change their laws to include part-time workers. That money runs out in 1/2011....a mere 6 months from now.
States don't have that kind of money to support both full time and part time workers that lost jobs.
So better hope the jobs increase stays consistent and goes up and up and up each month.
Ahh lying about 9 million again I see. BTW Bush had the single WORST job record of any President since the data was counted by the BLS in 1939. Not only worse than every other two term President, worse than those who didn't have two complete terms, worse than those who served only one term, and worse than those who didn't even serve a full term. Worse than EVERYONE.
1. Bush did have a poor jobs record
2. Obama is president
3. Obama is responsible for job creation
4. Unemployment is at 10%
Obama may shirk responsibility for unemployment and the economy, but I am not so sure that the voters will be as easy on him as he is on himself.
Simply look at how the BLS came to this conclusion and you will find the vast majority of these 'jobs' do not actually exist,it is a statistical method used by them...

So Obama IS a socialist. Of course, we don't live in a centrally planned economy, so I don't see how one person in a public office can create private sector jobs. If you have some of that insight, please do share.
