Okay, here are three websites (below) illustrating that the unemployment numbers are being calculated differently than - not just in the past, but during the Bush administration, and the beginning of the Obama adminstration. What the hell does that mean, and who cares?
Why doesn't anybody think this is a big deal? It's obvious that not only are the numbers "being calculated differently" but a MASSIVE fraud is being perpetuated upon the American people - and WE ARE OKAY WITH IT! Yes, lots of capital letters means I'm shouting. Why? I don't like being LIED to!
I really don't like Romney, and I won't vote for him at all. That being said, if Romney or anyone other than Obama becomes President, will they continue this lie? Of course. This is how Progressivism works. You create the structure of a dictatorship one small lie at a time.
Okay, maybe I'm getting ahead of myself (look! there I go). Let's make sure this a fraud, ready?
Here's an exerpt from the wash-post article below, from last month-----
"Since 2007, the percent of the population that either has a job or is actively looking for one has fallen from 62.7 percent to 58.5 percent. That's millions of workers leaving the workforce, and it's not because they've become sick or old or infirm. It's because they can't find a job, and so they've stopped trying. That's where Luce's calculation comes from. If 62.7 percent of the country was still counted as in the workforce, unemployment would be 11 percent. In that sense, the real unemployment rate -- the apples-to-apples unemployment rate -- is probably 11 percent. And the real un- and underemployed rate -- the so-called "U6" -- is near 20 percent."
Um, 20%? They must mean TWENTY PERCENT!!! Yes, we are in a great depression - well, it's not that bad. We are being supported by the government - and in much greater numbers than we realize. We are here ladies and gentlemen, the Nanny State. Some of you may not like this. Why are you so quiet? Are you out playing golf?
