What a scam. When you no longer count the millions that have quit looking of course the number will drop. DUH! So by their formula if you destroy ALL jobs and everyone gives up looking then the unemployment rate is zero?

The fact that even Fox News runs with this as if it's accurate is sickening. At least they will sometimes stumble across the truth.

Hermann Goebbels would be proud of the propaganda machine run by this administration. Tell me his quote doesn't fit Obama and the Dems:

“If you tell a lie big enough and keep repeating it, people will eventually come to believe it. The lie can be maintained only for such time as the State can shield the people from the political, economic and/or military consequences of the lie. It thus becomes vitally important for the State to use all of its powers to repress dissent, for the truth is the mortal enemy of the lie, and thus by extension, the truth is the greatest enemy of the State.”. Quote from Hermann Goebbels

With the economy improving there should be more unemployed back in the market looking which would actually drive the unemployment rate up.

This isn't cooking the books, it's nuking them.
