The biggest LIE I read this morning is the ridiculous claim being pushed by AP and Reuters (at the behest of their best friends in the WH) that once we hit 450,000 initial claims we will be entering into a job growth phase. Lie, lie, lie!350,000 initial claims is the magic number before we will see any non-government funded job growth. Stop lying MSM, you can’t fool us anymore!

So let me get this straight...even when we have 350,000 claims being filed they will call that growth? How?!?

I’m the same way.

350,000 NEW claims tells me that 350,000 people qualify for NEW claims.

That’s NOT good news.

"350,000 initial claims is the magic number before we will see any non-government funded job growth."

Lemme get this straight, if 350,000 people are losing their job every week it will cause the private economy to grow? Please elaborate.
