Even my brother, who voted Democrat in 2008 and is always defending the Marxist prick, came home tonight and said the jobs report was total BS..and I was shocked. No one with a brain actually believes the jobs report #, everyone knows the books were cooked
Regardless of whether they are accurate or not, they are completely disconnected from economic issues in one critical respect. They don't adequately measure the employment situation for the one person who really counts in this election season: each and every individual voter.
There's simply no way for a political candidate to spin a strong employment report for someone who is still unemployed, a sound economy for someone who is having trouble paying for necessities that are getting increasingly expensive, etc. As one Freeper astutely noted a few weeks ago, even people on welfare and people collecting Social Security Disability checks have to buy gas and groceries.
