Hmm, so the job losses in June were 479,000 jobs and they say this was
a .1% increase. Do any Libs understand arithematic? This means the
number of workers would have been 479,000,000. Uh, NO. This far more
than the number of people in the USA. The total number of workers is
less than 200,000,000 so a loss of 479,000 would be nearly 2.5%putting
us at nearly 10% unemployment. I have not checked their figures for
preceding months but if they lied then too, we can assume the real
unemployment is well over 10%
Its a case of "Liars, damned liars and Democrats".


Liberal-dim mathematics, debts are credits. Some of the rest of us
non-liberals call it baffling with BS, others call it turd polishing.

The economy is clearly still in a nose dive, and while 479,000 job losses
is less than a few months ago, this is the high season for employment.
Lets see how the liberals will BS when September comes by and seasonal
employment numbers dry up.

Obamnomics is clearly failing. Just costing a lot and making the debt
bill higher. When will liberals learn you can't spend your way out of
debt and the load of government is too heavy to have a middle class.




Whoosh.

Leaving aside the fact that Froggy knows not what he is talking about...

He claims 479,000 is about 2.5% of 200,000,000.

Let's make this really simple:

10% of 200,000,000 is 20,000,000.

1% of 200,000,000 is 2,000,000.

.5% of 200,000,000 is 1,000,000.

.25% of 200,000,000 is 500,000.


Yet another reason why Republicans can't handle the economy. They can't do
simple math.


It is 100% liberal-dim since January, wake up. Put down JD for a cup of
Java.

Oh...*real* unemployment is between 15% and 20%, and has been for some
time, long predating Obama's arrival at the White House.


I bet it is higher. How many are unemployed, want work but are not counted?
How many are taking 2 part time jobs supporting a household? There is the
hidden numbers behind this trend, many taking a job to replace a lost one,
and the new job pays much less.... the middle class is losing big time and
getting a lot smaller.
