El; I am shocked...where is your sense of patriotism?

Over the past couple of days the president has been telling all the people just how much his policies have improved the lives of the middle class he holds in such high esteem. How Americans are prospering as a direct result of his policies. I was just so overcome with gratitude to the great leader who single handedly pulled us back from the brink that I put his picture over my fireplace...La La La La La...

Here's is a link to a vary interesting web site; the United States Department of Labor.

http://www.dol.gov/dol/topic/statistics/

This department is under the leadership of a man named Thomas E. Perez. Secretary Perez as it turns out reports directly to, oh goodness, the President of the United States of America. Well isn't he just special...? Anyway;

As I made my way through this complex website I became concerned and then outright alarmed. For some strange reason the Secretary does not have the same information the president has. In fact when one looks closely his numbers are opposite of what the president is saying. Is the president not talking to his employee? Is he not telling him about the real numbers, the ones he shares with the American people, the ones most of them will believe? This can only be purposeful subterfuge...

I have written a letter to the president to caution him that he may have a rouge employee attempting to undermine his administration on a government owned web site. I hope he gets the letter in time...I will let everybody know when I hear back from him.

I read a report on a recent speech from Barry touting his Obamacare and claiming it has been a major force in improving the economy. It has been a huge success, he says.

I also know that it is costing a lot more in direct and indirect ways (increased premiums, deductibles, loss of full time jobs, increased taxes, increased regulations, businesses s**mpering out of the country, t***sfer of taxes to the i******s and indigents, etc). So how does it improve the economy and particularly help with reducing unemployment?

The reporter comment added information that might explain that; the increase in jobs seem to be mainly due to extra people working in the health care industry.

This means that the obvious result of increased costs, extra regulation and such requires more people to be employed to administer and run this behemoth. Note no extra doctors and nurses, just administrators (the IRS has added thousands for tax agents to chase us down for our money for example).

So Barry claims an improvement to the economy because of the increased costs and regulations of an unpopular program? Way to go, Barry!

With what his administration has done to the border, to the military, to our allies and countries facing threats from ISIS and Al Qaeda, and now from Ebola, perhaps the next growth industry that will provide pots of jobs will be making and distributing body bags.

Will we see him celebrating this accomplishment too?

I doubt that. :mrgreen:

According to BLS total non-farm jobs added for the month of September = 248,000 bringing us to about 5.8% unemployment.

Sectors that gained new jobs included business and professional services, which added 81,000 positions ; retail trade, which added 35,000; health care, which added 23,000 jobs; construction, which added 16,000 jobs; information processing, and financial services, which added 24,000 jobs. The balance is spread throughout T***sportation and other. With the exception of construction none of these jobs adds tangibles to the system.

Manufacturing added 4000 jobs in September.

16,000 construction jobs? 4000 manufacturing jobs? Tens of millions out of the work force...Not even looking for work...

16,000 construction jobs and 4000 manufacturing? Really? In the United States of America? A nation of 320 million? Excuse me, did I miss the part about how we are better off?

And, here's a corker, according to the BLS at 5.8% unemployment we are approaching full employment...

Is there a public company that makes body bags? I might want to buy stock. I might make a fortune but not be around to spend it. :shock:
