Simple concept , “If the news is bad, don’t tell!”.
It appears that we no longer need a Spin Dr. The Government just changes the way we speak to fit their mood!
Unemployment used to mean those without jobs. The figures used in the “Great Depression” were just that, they represented those Americans that were out of a job. Today’s numbers do not!
They have been played with by the economists (at the behest of the politician) so as to reflect a softer number… The Country lost another 11,000 jobs and unemployment droppedĀ from 10.2% to 10% Whiskey, Tango, Foxtrot?
Those that have given up looking for a job, because they know after knocking on a 1,000 doors they aren’t likely to find one on door number 1,001, they don’t count… Other manipulations further reduce the figure to it’s meaningless 10%, which by the way was greeted with smiles by the President and others in the Administration as well as theĀ idiots in the “Main Stream Media” (where the drink of choice has been Obama-ade for much more than a year now)…
Truth be known the real figure is not unlike those from the 1929 era. Worse our figure has been artificially helped by Stimulus, Bailouts and the like. The Cash for Clunker, the Housing Tax credit, they will if they ever stop printing borrowed money go away someday; when that happens it will not matter what number you paste on the situation it will be ugly…
Maybe you think they have the answer, just keep printing the money? If you do I have another video you need to watch…
