Thank you very much, Domalais. It is a rare pleasure on such threads to read a post from a knowledgable person. I am just sick and tired of the Fed-bashing by people who don't even know what Fed does and does not do. As you explained so well:

The fed is using the exact same standard for calculating unemployment now as it did then. During Bush’s recession it was the libs claiming that true unemployment was higher and that his administration was deceiving the public. Everyone likes the agreed upon measure while it is saying the things that they want it to say. They start complaining when it doesn’t support their message.

It would be nice if conservatives on this board rose to the standards --- of both logic and fairness --- at least somewhat higher than liberals.

What's worse is the situation in which they help socialists to weaken our institutions. When libs were attacking unemployment figures and methodology, there was not talk about fundamental changes in our economy. Now the very institutions of markets and democracy are in question.

And all those "conservatives" piling up on the Fed, Wall Street, Goldman, CEOs all the sins invented by the MSM just help destroy the essence of this country.

Thank you again for your informative and accurate post. Perhaps other people on this thread will read it and refrain from behaving at the lib standards.

“It would be nice if conservatives on this board rose to the standards -— of both logic and fairness -— at least somewhat higher than liberals.”

So, where is it FAIR that lying and slander are logical and conservative?

You still haven’t shown where fromLori gave us her commie speech, LIAR.
