The President's supporters are doing some novel recounting of the unemployment figures.
It should be an easy thing to calculate. They know how much money rolls in every week from every employed person in the country.
Somehow, though, they seem to lose track of certain details, like the fact that they just had a knock-down and drag-out over extending unemployment benefits again-n-n-n-n-n-n.
And how important it was for only those who were employed to have to pay less into Social Security so that their savings would boost the economy. (Never minding that Social Security is thus allowed to deflate even faster.)
Well, the claim is that figures don't lie, but the reality is that the liars are doing the figuring.
Those figures likely won’t look so good next month when all the temp workers go refile for benefits-numbers can be cooked to show anything you want, but not forever.
