“Unless the BLS can figure out how to statistically adjust its next set of data and estimates to relegate any negative elements to blissful oblivion, there will be disappointment.”

Yes we can! Yes we can!

I put an add out for a security analyst.

Today I got the resume of a liberal arts major, no experience as a security analyst. However she has been a reality TV actress.

The blog “Political Calculations” noted a recession that started a month ago by looking at government reports of the miles driven. Obama fraudsters can fool the main stream media which has been taught to report particular statistics. Most government reporters are not in on the joke, and so report their numbers honestly. It should be noted that China is also in recession: their exports to and imports from the US are down.

Great comment at the link:

Here’s how federal fudging works.

Three contractors are bidding to fix a broken fence at the White House. One is from Chicago, another is from Tennessee, and the third is from Montana.

All three go with a White House official to examine the fence.

The Montana contractor takes out a tape measure and does some measuring, then works some figures with a pencil. “Well,” he says, “I figure the job will run about $900. That’s $400 for materials, $400 for my crew and $100 profit for me.”

The Tennessee contractor also does some measuring and figuring, then says, “I can do this job for $700. That’s $300 for materials, $300 for my crew and $100 profit for me.”

The Chicago contractor doesn’t measure or figure, but leans over to the White House official and whispers, “$2,700.” The official, incredulous, says, “You didn’t even measure like the other guys. How did you come up with such a high figure?”

The Chicago contractor whispers back, “$1000 for me, $1000 for you, and we hire the guy from Tennessee to fix the fence.”

“Done!” replies the government official.

And that, my friends, is how government stimulus plans and federal grants work.

The 0bama regime has developed a method of calculating the number of unemployed - if a group becomes, or remains, unemployed, quit counting them! That way Hussein and his hooligans can show improvement without a single new job being created.
