Yesterday, I observed how the liberal media covered the story of the new unemployment numbers. They portrayed this story, which amounted to the unemployment rate staying at the same rate as the previous month. You would think that a little bit of heaven had reached earth with the positive descriptions being given to a number that did not change. I think it was just another example of the lack of good journalism we have now.
I hear that there are over 7 million more people in the USA than when President Obama was inaugurated, yet there are fewer workers in the work force. Yet this administration keeps talking about how many jobs it has created. The numbers have to be manipulated.
The way the unemployment rate is calculated has been changed by this administration. If the same formulas were used that were used during the Bush administration, the unemployment rate would be over 10%.
I don't think I'm the only one who remembers the days when the Bush administration was taken to task by the media when the rate went up to 5%. Now the rate stays at the same incredibly large number, and the media paints our President as doing miraculous things for our economy.
I happen to think that a better argument for the unemployment rate not going even higher is the fact that Tea Party Congressmen have managed to slow down the changes that this administration is attempting to make. It is frightening to think about what kind of country we would be left with if we re-elect President Obama.
The lousy 8.3% rate this month is just as lousy as it was last month. Yet you can fully expect that the numbers you will hear as we lead up to the election to be amazingly wonderful. We will get a full dose of media math. I hope enough Americans can see beyond this deception and vote to move our country back to a country which fits the Constitutional blueprint.
