4. Hannity is just
a straight up liar. Look at all the unemployed and underemployed people just here on this board! Yet another reason why Bush is toast.

16. Ding, ding, ding...
I understand 11,000 people were dropped from the rolls last week. Hmmm, 11,000 angry voters. Bush* is toast.

17. True, but unrelated to the report that comes out tomorrow
The unemployment rate is unrelated to the number of people collecting unemployment benefits.

The UE rate is calculated through the Household Survey of some 60,000 households and is about as scientific of a survey as they come.

11. Right inside his ears where the Bush propaganda machine....
...told him what to say. Employment numbers are 80% bogus, made up from the BLS employment model of new businesses created. Problem is they don't exist!:eyes: So Hannity can say whatever he wants, it's total Bushit! :hangover:

13. Hey, Sean, who cares? Anyone who knows how unemployment

benefits work understands that people get kicked off the unemployment rolls all the time. Fewer people on the unemployment rolls doesn't mean more people are working. How many new jobs have been created?

which are independent of unemployment benefits.

get released to various government officials at 4pm on the Thursday before it is released.
