all of your perception are belong to us.
In other news, gas prices gave me a reach-around the other day.
“Unexpected” has changed to “Seasonal”
If MSDNC is talking about government jobs, they the last half is probably technically correct.
The number of Americans filing new claims for jobless benefits rose last week, a government report showed on Thursday, but not enough to change perceptions that the labor market was strengthening.
Isn’t that the equivalent of saying a girl is just a little bit pregnant? (i.e. makes no sense to the point of being untrue?
Duncan Hunter on FOX saying, if you factor in everything, the real unemployment number is 10%. He proposing a bill to get the ‘real numbers’ with the people that have given up looking for work factored in. Also, he said there are many people who have gone from their long term good job with good pay, etc, who were laid off and are now working part time just to survive. How do you factor them in? What a mess with this anti-capitalist, anti-small business potus. November 6, 2012 America!
“Jobless claims rise, but labor market healing”
“Fake but Accurate”
This must be what its like to be on a bad acid trip...only it doesn’t appear to be subsiding.
but not enough to change perceptions that the labor market was strengthening........................................... Sure! The talking points from the “Ministry of Propaganda”. We need a radio station that has a clock ticking tick tock and a voice over saying: “Every 7 seconds, another American is out of work.”.
Somehow this story from MSNBC reminds me of an old spoof TV ad from MADtv that touted the preposterous advertising claim of “Spishak Cholestra - 10% less anal leakage”.
The Obama Administration is bringing us new jobless claims that feature “10% less anal leakage”, and laughably, MSNBC wants us all to know that despite what you think, that little inconvenient factoid means that the outlook for the economy is bright and getting better all the time (all hail the mighty Obama).
Only in Obamaland! Up is down dontja know??
Today Rush commented on this story early in his program.

Yahoo.com today has the headline: "Stock Rally Helps Regain Wealth Lost in Recession"
Sounds good. On March 1, 2011 the Dow was at $12,213. On March 8, 2012 one hour before closing the Dow is at $12,927. My high school math tells me that is about 5.8% increase for one year. (12927 - 12213)/12213 BFD. My tax load has gone up more than that and I am not even looking at gas and food price inflation.
On October 8, 2007 the Dow hit $14,097. Again my math tells me we are still DOWN 14%. (14097 - 12927) / 14097 Some recovery.
In Sept. 2004, we got this: "the economy has still lost about 1 million jobs since Bush took office in early 2001, meaning Bush is likely to become the first president since the Depression era's Herbert Hoover to complete his term with an overall drop in U.S. payrolls."
Unemployment had just dropped to disastrous 5.4%.
When they go down 8K-10K, it is the sign from God of recovery - but when they go up 8K, “not enuf to matter” ...
Sheesh !!!
yeah....the zer0 regime is putting them on disability as fast as he can....
