As for the census and BLS adjustments: There was not a big increase in discouraged workers,"economist Betsey Stevenson commented on Twitter. 'What happened was Census found a bunch of old people we had assumed died.'" Read more: here

No one disappeared it's just that old fogies don't participate as much so BLS can ignore a portion of the new old geezers -- less participation smaller unemployment rate, liars figure.

Reminds me of the “seasonal adjustments” that are always made.

I wish Savage would do show prep! He'd know about the old, old "aspirin between the knees trick" feigned controversy -- or if not feigned then liberals are stupider that ever imagined.

Savage just finished how Wolfer or whatever his name is needs to be taken to task.. Savage also maligned Santorum basically as a blue-collar nothing.

Guess what! It wasn't the has-been cable CNN employee it was NBC that Santorum lit into and never let go when they asked him about the aspirin. Today show I think.

Hell, even Imus -- still hating on Santorum -- admitted this morning that Santorum is looking presidential -- and that was before Santorum unloaded on NBC!
