Soooo..,.food stamp usage is way down too?

Uh, uh....no, but that piece of news was reported much later in the day:

US Foodstamp Usage Rises To New Record High

I don't think increases in annual food stamp usage are as easily massaged as other more complex economic data like inflation and unemployment. Measuring food stamp use is a simple matter of adding up a single string of publicly available numbers, numbers that aren't in any way open to subjective analysis. You would have to outright lie about the figures and they know better than to do that.

So, what the food stamp increase represents is further evidence that Barack Obama's Labor Department is, in fact, massaging unemployment (and inflation) data to create the illusion of an economic recovery which can then of course be attributed to his stewardship.

Again, do you really think that a Secretary who was personally appointed by Barack Obama is going to undermine his reelection? Should we believe that the Justice Department isn't just another political tool in Barack Obama's hands too? These people are his EMPLOYEES. They serve him, not us.

I'm not saying that things aren't better than they were in 2008, but things are still pretty bad when you shine a little light on the situation and they definitely aren't better than they were in 2001-2007, not for most of us anyways. Romney is absolutely right, the middle class has been buried by Barack Obama and while were on the subject of that, anybody that knows anything about socialism shouldn't be overly surprised by this.
