How are the commies in this administration going to spin the new un-employment numbers?

Probably the same way as 16 trillion of debt.

There are going to be less jobless claims due to the storms.

But the rate is calculated from the household survey, so it really only matters how people respond.

Look for the unemployment rate to fall some as businesses transition from X full-time workers to 1.5X part-time workers to avoid healthcare costs.

I'm just curious, because they say it is under 8% now, and it is really about 18%.

How will they justify 50%, or 70%?

This is why I am asking.

There are going to be large layoffs, business closings, and changes to part time from full time.

Just exactly how will they explain, because it is happening right after the re-election of the foreigner.

The numbers fix themselves.  As they remove people from the work force the unemployment numbers get better.

Bush's fault.

I find this election interesting because it happened right after the lights went out in New York City. John Galt said something about that.

At this point the administration no longer cares. Lame duck and all that.

Listen. I know GD will say otherwise, but...

The numbers aren't faked. They aren't massaged. They aren't made up. The numbers are legit. They are the same numbers we have been getting from the same processes for a long time.

The problem is, the environment has changed so drastically, that post-2007 unemployment(U3) numbers simply don't mean the same thing as pre-2007 numbers meant.

It's not about it being spun, it's about it not being understood(and I believe most Americans don't care to try and understand it).

The main question I am asking is, when the numbers jump significantly, like in business closings for obamacare, and what not, how will the administration explain the jump?

It is already starting from what I am reading here.

Oh, they'll probably say it's a bump in the road... an outlier... maybe blame it on Wall Street taking revenge for his re-election

Republican lies, Faux News, still Bush's fault, etc., et al., ad nauseum.

He won the election, they don't have to.

They can just ignore them.

A good portion of the foreigner's base don't work anyway.

What are the working supporters going to do when their jobs start going away?

Will it ever sink in?

I mean the truth, not the excuse.
