Yesterday Drudge’s leading link went to an article at Gallup about unemployment Titled “The Big Lie: 5.6% Unemployment.”
The number is deceptive. It does not reflect the real condition of the economy.
Gallup explained. Some of the unemployed that are not counted:
If you are hopelessly out of work and have stopped looking
You are out of work and got a few dollars for a short task like mowing a lawn
You can only find a part time, low paying job and are working it
My question would be has it always been this way or were the standards changed recently. If changed, by whom and on whose authority?
Who proclaims this as being good news? The administration of course, because they want to look good. The media goes along because they also want the administration to look good. They assume, like Gruber on Obamacare, that we are too stupid to notice the lie.
Are we?
