“… it is important not to read too much into any one monthly report …”
So responds the Obama White House to the dismal June job numbers.
But you know, in looking back, I see they used these EXACT SAME WORDS for the reports issued in 5/12 4/12, 3/12, 2/12, 1/12, 12/11, 11/11, 10/11, 9/11, 8/11, 7/11, 6/11, 5/11, 4/11, 3/11, 2/11, 1/11, 12/10, 11/10, 10/10, 9/10, 8/10, 7/10, 6/10, 5/10, 4/10, 3/10, 1/10 & 11/09.
Oh, it gets better…. we see by way of Dan Mitchell that they constantly paint a better picture than the reality does…..
And Dan points out…
Job creation has been extraordinarily weak. Indeed, the 8.2 percent unemployment rate actually masks the bad news since it doesn’t capture all the people who have given up and dropped out of the labor force.
Now, of course, everyone knows the press and the left are lying to us. …. particularly, the supposedly unbiased mainstream press who has been telling us that these figures are “unexpectedly bad” for every bit of the chart above.. I’ve remarked on this before, of course. We keep seeing this word from the Lamestream Media, when talking about the economy. Tell me, how many times must you be shocked and surprised by Obama’s leftist policies not working before it becomes a given? Apparently, the number is greater than listed here.
And as I’ve said before, as well, that there’s another point to be made here. We keep seeing ‘Revised” figures. Reynolds says it well:
Plus this: “The previous week’s figure was revised up to 420K from 414K.” Meaning that last week’s “good news” — a slight drop — was essentially bogus. More here, including this: “A Labor Department official said technical problems had resulted in claims for six states being estimated last week.”
The Technical problem is the occupant of the White House who desperately needs to be seen as a success…. so once the big headlines come out telling us how rosy everything is, the truth sneaks out when nobody’s watching. It’s been going on for years, now. The public knows it’s being lied to. Why can’t the lamestream media admit it? And of course, the answer for all of this that the White House gives us? Turn off Fox News, the only place that’s really telling the truth on these matters. You know why… the truth doesn’t support the liberal agenda.
Ohhh and just for the record…. Flashback: In 2004, Obama dismissed creation of 310,000 jobs under Bush
