Enronization of our economic indicators
Advertisements [?]
that's exactly what it is, when the administration pushes job creation numbers with no real plan to see that to fruition (other than to create the larger government conservatives pretend to loathe, and to reclassify things such as fast-food employment as "manufacturing," for instance), when they ride on the tails of monthly overestimates, when they ignore, even distort other indicators of the economic forecast, and generally politicize empirical data to their liking (if it isn't already), which they're wont to do in all fields, not just with regards to our nation's financial situation(s)....



"Job participation rate lowest in 16 years"

they must think we're as gullible as they, sellin' us all sunshine and rainbows about the economy whenever something perceivably "good" happens, like fox news telling us all almost daily early in the war that weapons of mass destruction had been found whenever a dirty sock showed up that seemed suspicious, when we can all see for ourselves what's goin' on.... but they don't want to talk about what's *really* goin' on, that not even historic low interests rates, and historic deficit spending, can spur the economic growth these conditions ought to be producing.... people have quit trying to find work. but maybe they're just lazy, right? yeah, not this administration's fault at all.


i dunno, but i've got a sneakin' suspicion that clinton's penis factors in somehow, and it should quit impeding this economy..... that, and lazy people. there. there're your sunday morning talking points, republican party.... and i'm not even charging. i know how bad the economy is and just wanna offer a helping hand to those in need ;)

and then when they use it, i'm gonna call it a 'handout' and lambaste their attitude of "entitlement" for my wordsmithing :P
