Unemployment figures..............from Rico

In the early Clinton years, the government "jiggered" the way unemployment is calculated...making it "look" better than it was.

After all, if you LOOK good you ARE good went the thinking, and most folks are too busy to seriously dig into the numbers anyway. Even IF they were so inclined, it's hard to follow the mathematic gyrations and contortions these dishonest numbers are put through. This, then, worked pretty well for a long time.

Current unemployment when figured the 'old' way....before gooberment got creative with its accounting (accounting being one of the many things they have never been good at) ...is running about DOUBLE what the 'new' numbers now show.

Many people who are 'living the dream' know this first-hand, but you'd never know it listening to all the talk about "green shoots" of recovery, the recession being 'over' and insipid non-news from the media a.k.a. propaganda organs of the Politburo...er, the DNC and the Democratic Party (C). "Things aren't all that bad, it's Bush's fault not ours, HOPE and CHANGE, ooooo look at the magic unicorn!!!!!"

With "double" in mind, look at these unemployment charts.

Then remember what the Communists....errr, Democrats do NOT want you to remember or think about: They have been controlling Congress and the government's purse-strings since 2006.
