The Department of Commerce should be ashamed of themselves, the figure of 10% unemployment is absolute false. The true figure is closer to 17%. The Government does not include all of the people who have used up their unemployment benefits, nor do they show people who have just given up looking.The true figures would shock anyone with a lick of common sense. Same old Bromide. “ Figures don't lie, but some times liars figure”.

It’s so funny, every month, the news reports that jobless claims “UNEXPECTEDLY” rise. You would think it would be “UNEXPECTED”, if jobless claims were to fall, not rise.

We’re in trouble and more and more people are waking up to that fact. For the first time in my life I am not optomistic.

Not to worry, CNBC will find the green shoots and even more suckers.

I’m waiting for the Oval Office and the media to announce that they didn’t ‘expect’ the earthquake in Haiti.

No, but Obama did say the earthquake was "incomprehensible", which is an utterly ridiculous way to describe an earthquake.
