Census ‘faked’ 2012 election jobs report "In the home stretch of the 2012 presidential campaign, from August to September, the unemployment rate fell sharply — raising eyebrows from Wall Street to Washington.
The decline — from 8.1 percent in August to 7.8 percent in September — might not have been all it seemed. The numbers, according to a reliable source, were manipulated.
And the Census Bureau, which does the unemployment survey, knew it.
Just two years before the presidential election, the Census Bureau had caught an employee fabricating data that went into the unemployment report, which is one of the most closely watched measures of the economy.
And a knowledgeable source says the deception went beyond that one employee — that it escalated at the time President Obama was seeking reelection in 2012 and continues today.........."
And we were not the only ones who were suspicious. The fact that the suspicions have been shown to be true just makes one even more suspicious about the whole election result. As far as I remember, the poll figures started to look good for Romney (at least the figures from the more reputable institutes, the Benghazi story made some tentative headlines etc etc) and then came Sandy... Did that storm really have that much of an impact?
PS: Note that the person who was caught cheating for the Census Bureau was from Philadelphia. Same place where several precincts showed 100% for Obama. Hmmm....
