I’ve talked about this many times, but it seems nobody (who counts in this government, anyway) cares about it. Nobody else seems to care about it, either. Not enough to raise a "hue and cry" about the dishonesty of it, anyway. Obama is “fiddling the numbers” in the unemployment picture by refusing to count those who have been unemployed so long they have GIVEN UP looking for a job. That reduces the SIZE of the “labor force” upon which he discerns the PERCENTAGE of the unemployed so he can CLAIM a lower number. Even that lower number is too high at 8%. But if ALL those out of work were actually COUNTED, the unemployment figures would be at 11% or HIGHER, And he can’t have that, so he LIES about it, as usual. Yes, I know; other administrations have lied similarly, but Obama more than most. Further, just because others have used the same swindle doesn’t make it right. And his lie is affecting us NOW. (Just common sense)
