the unemployment news is completely BS. this is a very dangerous game that the united states government is playing. just saw a news story the other day that said "unemployment drops, finally!". first of all, the government praises things like a .3% drop in unemployment for ONE MONTH, which means absolutely nothing unless you live your life day by day and can't see a month in front of you. doing something like this is the same as giving a rich person $50 to pay for their mortgage when they have just defaulted on it. any reasonable person would be insulted.
the government has now hidden the plain and obvious truth about the unemployment situation in this country, just like they are STILL hiding the truth about how bad the business situation is. i will simply say that any more "proping up" of a failed system is going to result in the US becomming lower on the world stage than England is.
i am convinced that unemployment is much worse in this country than polls say it is. but then again, how would we know? Washington can manipulate the news, but only if it's the right network!
there was recently an ad in the newspaper around here because general mills was expanding their plant and creating 20 new jobs in the factory. they ended up seeing 2,000 or so applicants stand outside the factory waiting to get their shot at an interview. So, you tell me mr. president...does that indicate 9.7% unemployment? I DON'T THINK SO! anyone ever seen that many people so enthused to land a factory job?
