Here is the links to two different stories posted by Yahoo.com Financial News One written by CHRISTOPHER S. RUGABER, AP Economics Writer The other by Lisa Lambert of Reuters One claims job losses were up in August, the other claims job losses were down. I've grown more and more skeptical of all these jobs numbers and economic indices that everyone keeps flinging around the room like handfuls of poop. So my question is this, who's lying here?

Choose reality or delusion.
That appears to be Yahoo’s message here.
It’s not yahoo lying. They are just posting stories from AP and Reuters. Might be one of them lying.
The actual rate is around 16.7 percent unemployed, this figure includes those who have stopped looking, which used to be counted before Obama.
There was less of more so therefore that proves that the media is a bunch of lying scumbags that exist solely to do the bidding of the Zero or else they will be called uncivil racists prone to killing gays.
So my question is this, who's lying here?
Well the "official" rate is down compared to July, but up compared to August a year ago.
So there really isn't any inconsistancy between the two articles.
However, that doesn't mean that the "official" figures aren't being fudged.
The government's been playing games with the stats ever since politicians got spanked by the "Misery Index" back in '80.
They fudge the inflation calculations as well.
So the actual lies are buried very, very deep.
Actual unemployment is higher than reported.
Now that is a real mystery, how could only one of them be lying?
