I have a theory about the latest economic news: THEY ARE LYING TO US!

It's what sociopaths do.

This is the most damning chart I've seen in awhile:

And it's from the BBL, too.

Interesting to read an article that takes the hooey and turns it inside out.

Not that the libbots care. They just repeat whatever they’re told to say.

Also not mentioned is that the percentage of “job growth” this time is far more part time, low paying jobs than any other “recovery” in history. Many decent jobs went away and are never coming back.

Re freelancing, craigslist “gigs” sections are cluttered almost beyond use now with nearly uncountable ads for Uber / Lyft and their ilk.

And that’s pretty much what Silicon Valley job creators are creating these days, just various versions of on-call “jobs”. There’s now on-call cleaners, on-call dog-sitting, on-call delivery services, and on-call grocery delivery, and you can bet your bottom dollar that you can’t make a living at any of them.

Every jobs report I’ve looked up has gains of twice the part-time as losses in full-time.

The purpose of this exercise isn't to bash President Obama. But it's curious that someone whose policies have so clearly failed would double down on his mistakes, prolonging America's economic misery.

It's amusing to see journalists trying to figure out why Obama is "doubling down on his mistakes." Media everywhere won't comprehend that this is all intentional.

In August, the number of hours worked — a proxy for GDP growth — and average hourly wages both rose 2.1% from last year. That only barely beats the current inflation rate of 2%. Not much growth there.

Yep great recovery.

I got my first raise in over three years yesterday. It was only 2.5% but I was pleasantly surprised.

I was expecting another goose egg. The company has had a bad summer.

I work for an electric utility and the cool summer has meant low sales.

Low sales and the Obama War on Coal has hurt the company bad.

Eventually the War on Coal is going to hit energy prices hard and there could be a real jolt to the overall economy
