The IRS is hiring, or is that also manning up at “fight-the-smears” and “attackwatch”?
Yeah, riiiiiiiight.
Unbelievable.
I’m thrilled that my chocolate ration has increased from 30 grams to 20 grams.
” the highest score for any month since April 2008.”
Five years after he’s gone, and they still are attempting to blame G.H.W.Bush!
That is a line straight out of a Soviet Premier, talking dog about one of the previous leaders, to make that Premier look good.
Hiring more 29-hour-a-week employees?
Who knows what strong arm tactics are used to force these polling operations to "report" favorable numbers?
Judging from the IRS tactics, it appears nothing is off the table and there is no consequence for their soviet like handling of dissent.
People think job creation is great. The only fly in the soup is reality. We believe it because MSNBC and the rest of Obama’s cheerleaders are still telling us, for four consecutive years since the recession officially ended, that Obama’s economic is booming and prosperity is just around the corner.

The ADP jobs report is out, and it’s a miss.
US companies added only 135,000 jobs in May, which was well below the 165,000 expected by economists.
The April measure was also revised down to +113,000 from a prior reading of +119,000.
“Notably, a gain of 5,000 jobs in the construction industry during May was offset by a decline of 6,000 lost jobs in the manufacturing industry,” said ADP’s Carlos Rodriguez.
I always wondered why the unemployment numbers were the ones reported. It would seem to me that we should track employment instead. This could easily and fairly accurately be done based upon the number of jobs paying into the unemployment insurance funds for each state.
How much of this “job creation” is simply employers replacing full-time workers with more part-time workers because of Obamacare?
What’s ‘Best’ about the government octopus growing more arms while the private sector withers away to nothing?
The Bureau of Labor Statistics shows the real "Labor Force Participation Rate".
Click on the chart above to see the data on the BLS webpage
Even keeping it confined to VERY SIMPLE ARITHMETIC:
Anyone can see that with a labor force of approximately 155million people, dropping the participation rate by some 3% or so, means some 4.5million fewer jobs!
| Size of Labor Force | 155,000,000 | |
| Change (percent) | * | 2.8% |
| Net Job gain/(loss) | -4,340,000 |
Yet... if you look at Gallup’s daily poll numbers, their unemployment rate sits at 8%. Riddle me that one, Batman...
Anyone who has given up or is now timed out from being classified as unemployed are ignored in these polls. The real unemployment rate counting all real unemployed has to be close to 15% by now. These polls are only meaningful to Low Information Voters, e.g. DemoncRATs.
