KD in CA Posted February 3, 2012 Share Posted February 3, 2012 That's wonderful if it's actually true, but I think John Crudele is probably correct. My link This year’s estimates should be equally pessimistic, unless some political hack gets hold of the figures and fixes this statistical problem.

Chef Jim Posted February 3, 2012 Share Posted February 3, 2012 It's a good thing they passed Obama's job bill that he insisted they needed to in order to create jobs. Oh wait.....

Record 1.2 Million People Fall Out Of Labor Force In One Month Participation rate falls to 63.7%.... 30 Year low . It's truly amazing how this point hasn't been driven home or even mildly reported with any sort of emphasis from ANY of the news outlets. It's amazing. Shouldn't a true journalist want to find the truth? Shouldn't they want to share that with their viewers? Think about it, you have an unemployment rate that is dropping on paper, but in reality, there are so many people that feel hopeless about their ability to find jobs, that they all together give up on that possibility and therefore are not considered in that phony unemployment rate. Never would have I of believed that there would be that many hopeless people out there. 1.2 Million gave up looking for a job in ONE month. This is the first time I have heard that reported. That is what should of gotten the headlines, but unfortunately, journalists ignored this fact. The reality is that the people of this country feel more hopeless than they have felt since the great depression. But hip hip hooooray the unemployment rate is 8.3% Edited February 3, 2012 by Magox Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

IDBillzFan Posted February 3, 2012 Share Posted February 3, 2012 Santelli has always been a truth teller. One of the very few.... Yes, but you see, the narrative is written, and a self-fulfilled one at that. When something like this takes place, and you try to point it out, the immediate response is, "Oh, you right-wing freaks just can't be happy with anything, can you? You just can't admit that things are getting better. You WANT him to fail, don't you? You WANT the US to fail, don't you? You hate AMERICA!!!" This is what happens when too many people complain about a first lady trying to get people to eat more fruits and vegetables. When all you do is whine, then what you're whining about has no value. Which is why, in spite of the fact that I'm a right-wing extremist Islamophic gay-bashing racist partisan hack who wants grandma to die and babies to starve and poor women to die from undetected breast cancer, I at least try to tell people "You're wasting your time crying about the stupid stuff. Pick your battles wisely so your voice matters when it's heard." So BOOM! Unemployment is at 8.3%! If you don't like that, then you just hate America.

I think you're giving conservative nit pickers too much credit. Even if the right wing talk shows and conservative political message board members minded their Ps and Qs by not harping on the small potatoes, the MSM would no doubt still be propping up completely phony economic numbers to the idiot masses who still watch and believe in what they say. Everyone should know by now that the MSM is the publicity arm of the democratic party. If they don't, then they're probably the same unintelligent people who voted for Obama the last go round.
