A quick look at the Californbia data shows that (a) no September data has been posted for California and (b) based on past 12 years in California the September number should be 66,000 new unemployment claims suggesting that the magic number of 400,000 new claims may have been breeched. If one was a cynic, one might suspect the delay was not an accident.

California was the first state to adopt the Slacker Manifesto:

Using this method, I’d almost expect Obama to achieve full unemployment. Simply stop counting the unemployed. Notice that the problem of the homeless, so often reported during Republican administrations, has largely disappeared. Obama and the MSM, using techniques of the Stalinist era, can create a utopia this way.

My guess is California.

If a publicly traded company, IBM, for example, failed to include the results of one of its largest divisions in one of its earnings reports, the officials responsible would be sent to jail. It’s a crime to misrepresent a company’s financial situation. Why else are so many former Enron officials rotting in jail today?

And it’s much worse when a government department like the BLS excludes a major state from its employment figures, since many more people around the world base their investment decisions on U.S. employment figures than on earnings reports of individual companies.

In addition, whereas there’s a possibility that IBM’s excluded division may have had positive earnings, which would have bettered IBM’s overall earnings report, there is NO CHANCE that leaving out ANY state’s newly unemployed would have bettered the BLS’s new-unemployment-applications report.

That’s because EVERY state has newly unemployed each week, particularly large states, so leaving out any state’s newly unemployed makes the entire country’s unemployment situation look better.

Where are the journalists who spent months excoriating Enron over its cooked books, writing endless tomes about its officials’ malfeasance, now when the country’s government has committed the same crimes on an even greater scale?

As I stated early this morning... it was California and confirmed by Fox and Rush.

We are fast approaching banana republic standards. The more these government agencies lie to the people, the more they undermine the rule of law and the people’s faith in our republic.
