Why is the media celebrating 8.3 percent unemployment? Why are we accepting this as good news even if the numbers weren't absolutely bogus? Why are we accepting this at all?
8.3 percent unemployment? Sure. If you don't bother even counting 1.2 million people that have given up looking totally. Because the economy is so bad, and said 1.2 million people (including myself) have not been able to find stable, FULL-time employment for what's going on four years now, we just don't exist. How convenient for the government and this administration, isn't it? Yet if somehow, miraculously, I get a full time job tomorrow, I will be counted as employed in these propaganda styled statistics. Again, how convenient.
The real number of unemployed is estimated around 11.5 percent when you actually count living, breathing, people who can't find a job. And when you count the people who are settling for part time work when they want and need full time work, the real number is well over twenty percent. Yes, that's right. One out of every five working age people in the nation. Living breathing people. With families, and need to eat, and clothe themselves and feed themselves. People that don't want a handout and be enslaved to government programs, but want to provide for themselves. Not a static to be toyed with to see how good it can make you and your buddies look.
People.
I really can't say it any betterthan here.
So we have the water carriers cheering this, and the presumptive Republican nominee Romney accepting this but saying Obama deserves no credit for it. Instead of breaking down the lie that these numbers represent and then giving Obama (and all his big government lackeys and comrades past and present) credit for that which he deserves. The big mess the big lie is covering up.
