It’s BS numbers just like the inflation numbers.
Doesn’t make a flying “f” who’s in the white house.

Government lies. Period!

As an aside, in today’s broadcast RUSH also mentioned this website: INTELLECTUAL TAKEOUT in regards to Trump/Bannon
http://www.intellectualtakeout.org/article/trump-vs-bannon-have-you-ever-met-billionaire

The entire site is an interesting read.

Good news for blacks. But what about others? The workforce participation rate remained at 62.7%, .2% less than when Trump took office when it was 62.9%.

"I thought it had become widely accepted among conservatives that numbers from the Bureau of Labor Statistics are flawed because they don’t include people who have dropped out of he work force. Is there any reason to believe these numbers truly show actual unemployment numbers now?"

You mean U6, that is coming down, as this economy is smoking along to the point were those folks are getting back in the workforce. IMHO that is huge.

They won’t care. Guess how the large majority of blacks will continue to vote.

2 things...

Their was a link over on CTH yesterday with a DNC wonk at a rubber chicken diner type symposium discussing "the challenges" that this tax cut poses to them as millenials were fickle voters last cycle and this may sway them to vote "R", and you could here and see by his weasel words and body language they are phiting their sants.

2nd, my guess this is even true in Detroit. The city is on a major comeback and those their I knew helping people get in the work force could sense it as well, they wouldn't come right out and say it, but they were upbeat. Add the tax cuts to those getting back in the work force and how can this not translate to support, possibly not in 18' but for PDJT in 20' for sure IMHO...

"Best way to get folks off of the plantation"

Most blacks do not want off the plantation, they hate whitey no matter what.

Adults = 248,000,000
Private business employees = 124,000,000

This ratio reminds me of the days when the husband worked and the wife stayed at home. Things have changed, but like in a game of musical chairs.

Like the economy and all other good news, the Democrats will lie their way through 1918 until the elections, repeating over and over and over again that this is the OBAMA economy.

The MSM will pickup on that and repeat it over and over and over again so by November the average Joe Schmuck in the street will believe it.

Seen it time and again.

Well that stat lasted only a month. Black unemployment was skyrocketing even as Trump was making his SOTU. Up almost a percentage point from the month before. Maybe Jay Z had a better feel about happenings in the black community.
