What happened to all of the doom and gloom economic threads?

[Beco]

The unemployment rate ticked down to 8.2% and you go out and focus on whatever scraps of negative news you can?

Yes it makes you happy. You want to see Obama fail and you're smiling at the fact that this month's bls report wasn't as glowing as the past few.

The 8.2% number is wrong, its cooking the books. Truth be told, i'd love to know what the real number is instead of all this BS we, the American people get on a daily basis.

But yes, I'd love to see Obama voted out of office.

There is no real number and 8.2 isn't cooking the books. At worst its looking at things how you want which how we've done it for more than a decade. The real problem however is that there is no real number.

Read this if you want to know the real reason Beco wants the President to fail.

LOL...

8.2% reflects the same methodology we've used for a while. If you think someone suddenly changed things or "cooked the books" I'd love to hear your proof.

You're quite possibly the dumbest person here. Just look at vettebirther's post times, it's really not that hard though I don't expect you're smart enough to figure out how to do that.

Play it again, Lukey, you play the same childish tunes daily.

If you get in trouble and need help, call on Miss Congeniality to help you out.
She's learned two extra words..."stupid and idiot"..... GOT IT..?..

Perhaps, all I know is they keep changing the numbers....same for housing. They get people excited, then they adjust the numbers again. I'm sick of it.

Granted, its an election year, but I'm tired of hearing about how horrible this economy is ....

Several analyses show that the mild winter boosted job growth by as much as 75,000 positions — an artificial inflation that economists say will be paid back in the coming months. Translation: The recent surge in hiring may not be as strong as it looks.

“We’re thinking that the economic data is going to lose some momentum from here going forward,” said Bob Baur, chief global economist for Principal Global Investors

"Ask five economists and you'll get five different explanations… six if one went to Harvard."

Do your own research...

They adjust the numbers as more data comes in, thereby improving the accuracy of the analysis. Why are you against that?

Have you listened to the AP and Reuters..?.. Even they can't hide the truth anymore.

How come only conservatives say it's other people's responsibility to prove their points?

Nope not sure what you're referring to. Show me what they said.

Apparently, they've been reporting the truth.

According to RightField, the Democratic Party has secretly infiltrated the Bureau of Labor Statistics. His proof is.... "well just look at the unemployment rate dropping. It just shouldn't be happening!".

Uhmm, do you ever listen to the radio..?..

ABC, FOX and CNN, reported the 8.2% was a result of peeps dropping out of the job market, and indeed, the real rate of unemployment was 10.9%.

Which would be way down from the 15% we were all tacitly agreeing with a few months ago.

I think that was the U6 unemployment rate..... I can't remember how that's calculated.

The U6 is this "real" unemployment number your talking about.

Do you really not understand what we're talking about?

Here's how dumb you are;

Of course, it has everything to do with race, just like Mary J. Blige's new Burger King commercial was highly offensive and racist.

A fast food commercial and the death of a child.


yup, I can see the correlation.

The irrelevant deflection squawk is strong in you, padawan!

You'll have to do better if you hope to attain the squawk level of your racist shitstain Jedi master, though.

Yes, it's the exact same thing.

Jesus H.

You've posted some pretty damned stupid shit before but even trying to compare a stupid fast food advertisement with the shooting of a young black kid?
That's fucking industrial grade stupid right there.

Last I checked, the U3 is reported on the 1st Friday of the month.

Hey NIGGERPOON, didnt you say that during Bush.....when HE CREATED 300K per month?

300K a month? ha! If Obama gets another 4, we won't be seeing that again....

There's only one English radio station where I live and I didn't hear them report this.

Your comment about people leaving the labor market doesn't mean much. Where were you over the past two months when people were entering the labor market? We were putting on around 250k jobs per month but the unemployment rate was staying put because of more people looking for work.

Why weren't you talking about how the "real" unemployment rate was actually lower? You can't just have it one way - if you want to talk about the ebb and flow of the labor market you need to chime in and tell us how certain months are actually better than they look.
