It enrages me how Obama’s bureaucrats are able to manipulate statistic with impunity, and the media cooperates spreading the lies. Remember during the 2012 election, the media was awaiting with baited breath the unemployment numbers? Suddenly, they announced that employment had improved “far beyond expectations.” The former CEO of GE, Jack Welch, wrote an editorial calling them liars to their faces. It didn’t matter. Then, 2 months later the BLS “revised” their statistics, again.

0bama’s lying minions and presstitutes just pulled that same crap again, too. Each month—’Numbers look great!’ X 3 then OOPS and OH, WELL by them...and no accountability, either!

RE: "employment had improved “far beyond expectations.”

That's why I do not bother with the unemployment rate.

However I have discovered that revisions are quite common and I trust that the SES's and GS's will bend only so far.

It's amazing the amount of data available. I omitted the sources here because it took some space to "walk through" how you get data. The link to that FR thread is listed at the beginning of my reply above.

Also I am tired of MSM employees, et al. simply saying this-or-that entity says . . . .

Where's the brief?
