Apparently the 'coincidental' release of only 11,000 jobs 'lost' following on the heels of the "jobs summit" was good enough for (a) the stock market which rallied. and (b) Obama/Soetero who proclaimed "mission accomplished" on the unemployment fron.
NOT that the Bureau of Labor Statistics or anyone involved with the current government would LIE to us. Oh, no.
Never mind that the 'real' unemployment number is about double the reported 'official' number (with sincere thanks and a tip 'o the hat to those who jiggered the way the unemployment numbers were 'calculated in the early 1990's).
And never mind that we are NOT adding jobs. Especially jobs that pay a living wage. We are only losing jobs less quickly and adding-back marginal and temporary jobs while continuing to bleed real jobs.
Also please never mind that 24 States have had to borrow Federal money to continue paying unemployment benefits.
This might be good enough for some, but not for me. This is unacceptable, reckless, irresponsible, and criminal.
- Taxes need to be 'cut' or a 'tax holiday' needs to be declared. Instead of increasing deficit spending/borrowing, serious incentives are needed to create serious jobs.
