Get ready for lies and Labor Department statistics
New York Post ^ | 12/03/2013 | John Crudelle

The Labor Department will release its latest unemployment data this Friday.

But it won’t put a note in the news release saying that its jobless figures might have been fabricated. So I’ll write the note for the department, which is, understandably, shy about the whole matter.

Warning: The unemployment numbers you see in this press release may have been fabricated. In fact, the jobless rate that seems so important to the Federal Reserve, economists, businesses and so many others might have been a joke for years. Use these numbers at your own risk.

Commie Obama Speaking Rules:

1.) Begin with a Lie
2.) Blame others
3.) Ridicule others

Good point.

BTW, are only Republican faces painted on the official WHITE Golf Balls that Commie Obama smashes with such gusto on the links?

All they have to do is just remove the number of people that have given up hope of looking for a job in this economy and their numbers will be under 10 % when in reality its probably much closer to 20%. Expect them to squeeze in as much temporary Christmas help into their numbers as well. If they took a look at the “real” number of jobs and report them in their own categories it would reveal the truth (as in temporary, part-time, full-time / able to support household with one or two incomes or not.

Government lies instead of honest statistics reminds me of this old Soviet joke about the miracles of socialism:

Nobody works, but the plan is always fulfilled. The plan is fulfilled, but the shelves in the stores are empty. The shelves are empty, but nobody starves; nobody starves, but everybody is unhappy; everybody is unhappy, but nobody complains; nobody complains, but the jails are full.

1913: The “Department of Commerce” is born when the Bureau of Labor is split off to form a new Department of Labor. An official history of the Department of Labor notes that its founding “was the direct product of a half-century campaign by organized labor for a ‘Voice in the Cabinet.’” - See more at: http://www.downsizinggovernment.org/commerce/timeline#sthash.VoVPzWo7.dpuf

He has erected a multitude of New Offices, and sent hither swarms of Officers to harrass our people, and eat out their substance.
