"5.6% Unemployment A GIANT LIE." Gallup CEO

[ThomasFremont]

Since the 1980s the government has tweaked the way economic stats are reported. Its like grade inflation in school. Each administration has tweaked the reporting criteria a bit more than the last guy. Remember, the right wingers were bragging about how great the Bush economy was when it didn't jive with reality.

This link shows what unemployment would be if you calculated it the way it was done decades ago and included non-full time workers (i.e part time & those who dropped out of labor force).

Un-fucking-believable. Instead of addressing the problem in front of you, blame Bush? It never gets old, does it?

The probrem isn't Obama, it's the system itself.

Of course, if people understan what unemployment numbers actually count, it's not really a huge problem.

The "FUCKING SYSTEM"? Obamacare killing full time employment. Now, Obama just issued 5.5 million work visas to illegals to kill everything else. But it's NOT Obama's fault? It's either George Bush or the Fucking System. OBAMA IS THE FUCKING SYSTEM!

If more Americans wanted to mow lawns, build houses, clean houses, or work in restaurant kitchens, the demand for illegal labor wouldn't exist.

Basic Kane Hall stuff...

Or work in the construction trades

Oh wait they do but somehow millions of illegals drove down wages. Odd, Obama said they raise wages.

Can't figure it out - is he lying or stupid?

Sounds like a good reason to document them and enforce labor standards equally.

So adding millions and making them legal will raise wages?

Merit based hiring, how does it work?

NYBE
TL;DR

huh?

Burn

Whatever

If Romney were prez right now?

Talking points would be as follows:
Low unemployment rate
Low gas prices
No terrorist hits on American soil
Stock market humming

The Dem party is too stupid to pound this shit into people's heads. Fox News would be rolling out the red carpet on this bullshit every single night over and over again.

Exactly, and housing market recovered. But fox news is fair and balanced.

Yeah the media is always so favorable to republicans over democrats. Poor old Obama can't catch a break from the mainstream media. Look at the way Candy Crowley jumped in during the debates. Why that was so unfair to Obama.

If any of the sh*t you two are peddling was true people would believe it. Obama has been caught in numerous lies, caught fudging statistics, and people are connected as never before to what is happening in the real world they live in.

it's not for a lack of effort on the part of the media and the White House that makes people think Obama is an ass clown. Its because he is.

Housing market recovered? I just roll my eyes

What you're saying is true now, and it was also true under previous Presidents. Unemployment has been undercounted in the United States for a while, and the plunge in employment predates Obama - although he certainly is responsible for the lack in upturn.

Weird, the chart of government employment coincides directly with your chart. So let's recap. Republicans chant to cut government spending for 6 years. Government spending is cut, which reduces jobs. Now, Republicans are screaming about unemployment and workforce participation.

So "do this, do this, do this" it happens, now it's "your fault, your fault, your fault". Awesome.

... and your theory is, "The Government is what creates goods and services for America." Fascinating.
