Do you know the Government lied about the Jobs numbers in September?
by over 100,000? They revised the numbers today after the election.

1. They always adjust the numbers months later -- all their reports are lies

2. I know people that are off the rolls me included

The revision of the numbers according to NBCB said they have never
been this high and he said they were suspect. He's a conservative too.

3. When did they EVER tell the truth about the numbers?
Those instances can be counted on the fingers of your left foot.

6. Every single report that has EVER come out of the Dept. of Labor
has been cooked to put the best possible spin on it.

The middle and lower classes of wage earners have been flat lining lo these many years and were only able to keep themselves afloat through home equity and credit cards.

11. The Markets are UP because Companies are cutting JOBs just reported
CNBC reported when asked why the market is going up.

The markets are up because downsizing helps the bottom dollar at companies
so traders are putting money into the market. Well, that makes sense since
the people laid off will no longer have money to buy their products.

Unemployment is good says the market!!!
