We've lost almost a total now, since Obama became president, of four million jobs. They've just been erased. So the universe of jobs against which we're measuring unemployment and full employment is much smaller. So it's easy to lower the unemployment rate to 5.5% when the universe comes down as well. The bottom line is this: 92.8 million millions are not working, and they want us to believe that we have an unemployment rate of 5.5%.

Now, people are gonna believe it, it's been reported, it's widespread, it's all over, and everybody is going to accept, the low-information crowd is gonna accept unemployment's great, the economy's great. I'm just preparing you for that, but I want you to know the truth. Also a record number of women are not in the labor force. By the way, these are not my numbers. They come from the Bureau of Labor Statistics: 56,023,000 women age 16 and older were not in the labor force. Prostitutes not counted, of course. Well, they're not. It's actually a little bit more, but we don't know how many more.



Idiots abound. They believe EVERY lie coming from Washington.

1. George W. Bush NEVER had 92.8 million out of work.
2. Ronald Reagan NEVER had 92.8 million out of work.
3. Hell, JIMMY FCKING CARTER never had 92.8 million out of work.

Anyone who buys this 5.5 unemployment crap is a fcking MORON.

Do you have any sources from economists? Check out Shadow Stats (http://www.shadowstats.com/alternate_data/unemployment-charts).

Rush doesn't get into any detail, so you are going to have to look up what U3 and U6 are on your own.

http://shadowstats.com/imgs/charts/alt-unemployment-mini.gif
U3 is not a "bull shit" number. You just have to know what it represents.


The seasonally-adjusted SGS Alternate Unemployment Rate reflects current unemployment reporting methodology adjusted for SGS-estimated long-term discouraged workers, who were defined out of official existence in 1994. That estimate is added to the BLS estimate of U-6 unemployment, which includes short-term discouraged workers.



The U-3 unemployment rate is the monthly headline number. The U-6 unemployment rate is the Bureau of Labor Statistics’ (BLS) broadest unemployment measure, including short-term discouraged and other marginally-attached workers as well as those forced to work part-time because they cannot find full-time employment.



U-6 is the broadest BLS measure of unemployment, but since 1994 it omits long term discouraged workers.

Just in case you STILL want to side with the low information koolaid drinkers.


The bottom line is this: 92.8 million millions are not working, and they want us to believe that we have an unemployment rate of 5.5%.

I'm used to that. Low information types always hate losing an argument.
And when I look at the underachieving low information types here and compare them with MANY TIMES WINNER OF THE MARCONI AWARD Maha Rushie, it's almost a laugh. If it weren't so pathetic.

Delusionally pitiable rants. With the sourced references, worse than the "low information" types. Closer to "no information". Actually "bullshit information" citations.

Yells to be heard, since nobody lidtens anyway. Sad, ignorant, uninformed rants. Consistent, however. Unwavering. That's the only thing positive I can conjure for the fool.

If you are the party in power, you are going to use the numbers that make you look the best. If the shoe were on the other foot the same thing would be happening.

That being said that are a lot of people that can't find a good job, many of the jobs created are part time a business is reluctant to add full time work. And because of the abundance of workers, the pay is a lot less.

Deny Deny Deny Deny .... and you're still a Looser. :laugh:

We agree zelmo, all the pigs sent the decent jobs to china and elsewhere, whats left are walmarts that only want part timers to avoid any monetary obligations and have the taxpayers subsidize their payrolls with food stamps.

The pay is alot less because they pigs do not want to pay and the pigs outsourced all the manufacturing jobs to china and all the customer service and tech support jobs to places that an hardly talk english. Lets not forget Reagan diluting the work force for the rich by giving amnesty to 3.5 million illegals and NO REPUBLICANS SINCE HAVE CLOSED THE BORDER even this far right senate and house.

Your truth is not the reality

The economy is the best its been since bush destroyed it. ALL of you know that of course the far right cant give the black guy credit for anything. That would be blasphemy and limbaugh would aim his death ray at you.

Bush didn't destroy it without a couple of decades of help from both parties.

The economy is flaccid. It is the worse recovery in US history. Additionally the fundamental problems that caused the crash were never addressed. In fact they were bailed out with no demands to fix the problems.

The black comment is unhelpful.

I propose that if you cannot live off it , it does not qualify as a new job

It's not about being the party in power, it's about using numbers that have always been used. This is the same methodology that has been used since unemployment was tracked by bis. To somehow say that because Obama is president, let's use a different methodology is changing the goal posts.

When the unemployment numbers were bad, it was because Obama failed, but now that the same matrix shows the numbers as being good....let's change the methodology....
