All the rest is mere chatter.

It is all just smoke and mirrors-

Here's a pertinent quote from a thread yesterday:

"America now has more people voting for a living than people working for a living."

Expect a Petraeus-like scandal to ‘Occupy’ the headlines in 3 . . . 2 . . . 1 . . .

[TexasFreeper2009]

This is total BS spin reporting ! This was the biggest miss to expectations since December 2009 and the worst print since June 2012. The unemployment rate declined to 7.6%, but this was due entirely to the collapse in the labor force participation rate, which declined by 20 bps to 63.3%, a new 30 year low.

below the lowest forecast of 100K, well below the expected number of 190K, and a tragedy compared to the February revised print of 268K (was 236K). This was the biggest miss to expectations since December 2009

That was unexpected.

[PoloSec]

88K a small fraction of which could be considered quality decent paying jobs with limited benefits.

Except for a large portion of high paying, maximum benefits, no work, non-productive gov’t jobs.

Bush’s fault.

It’s the sequester.

If only the Republicans would have agreed to (even more) tax increases, this would have been avoided.

Think of how much worse it would have been without the Obama team’s herculean efforts.

It’s a cabal of old rich white guys who just hate the fact that a (semi-) black man is President.

Well, you see, it’s... SQUIRREL!

Does anyone believe anything from the government anymore?

We know the numbers are cooked every month, nobody even cares any more.

We need a few people like Sam Adams and Patrick Henry today.

[nascarnation]

Well the MSM theme for the 2014 mid-term elections was going to be

“biggest economic recovery in history”

now transitioning to:

“would have been the biggest economic recovery in history except for the Republican sequester”

But the BIG STORY on Action News... Jimmy Fallon gets a balcony in his 30 Rock Tonight Show Studio...

[Sarah Barracuda]

In Obama’s America, this is great news..more people dropping out of the labor force means those people will need to get money from somewhere..they will rely on the Govt, which is what Obama wants, throw them some food stamps, welfare checks, and free Govt healthcare and he owns them for life
