Do you believe these statistics about the new jobs....

[butterfly77]

It seems that in these reports that they are trying their best to play up how good the economy is before the election, well I don't believe it... its not good from what I see...

[whistle]

1. You mean the 96,000 new jobs and the lowest unemployment rate

...in over five years at 4.4%? Total bullshit! In three months the figures will be adjusted downward just like all other reported employment numbers have been since Bush first took office.

5. They want us to believe that this is the greatest economy since the clinton adm...

and they even get angry because we won't say it is so...

2. Talk about your basic voodoo economics!

Fabulism!

3. Hell no !

It is just one more enormous scam , if there were these jobs then where is mine ? I have looked every where .

4. I know what you mean...

6. Marketplace (APM radio show) just said that the 4.4% is based on...

...(these are their words) "...the highly volatile telephone "household survey" which also reported 437,000 new jobs last month..." as compared to the 92,000, and she added, "...but only someone running for office believes those numbers..."

This is all BS "fuzzy Math" as * liked to say while running against Al Gore.

I also heard NPR report today (but they only mentioned this part once so far) that the "Upward Revisions" for September and August happened when they added in "The Self Employed!!!"

Hell, they missed me then, by that standard, I'm self-employed! Problem is, there's no money in it.
