Here's how we can tell if they're fibbing: go to the unemployment office. Take a look around. Here in Portland, it's quite packed. Next, take a peek at a homeless shelter. They're full here.

Look at the people wandering around downtown, carrying big garbage bags, full of pop cans, and homeless people, pushing their shopping carts around.

Check out the local Goodwill store. Here in Portland, the stores are packed. People are practically arguing over the stuff.

Next, take a trip to Saks Fifth Avenue. Look crowded? Not the one downtown. The Nordstrom store looks pretty empty to me. Where is everybody? Looks like they're all down in the homeless district.

Elaine Chao is the Secretary of Labor. She's also a big Bush supporter (I think he appointed her). She's told lots of fibs about the employment picture.
