Unenployment Numbers - OR called "Cooking the Books"

TJOC: Why do I always publish articles by Adrian Vance - because most of the time he is right on target with his comments concerning the situation.

It is amazing how long the American people, to say nothing of the journalists, and especially financial writers, stay silent with the monthly unemployment rate now officially said to be 6.3%.  The only places where that is true are the Bakken Oil Fields and states with Republican Governors who have cut taxes and driven wooden stakes through the chests of union thug bosses.

This month the Obama Administration claimed that 806,000 more people dropped out of the work force which then brought the unemployment rate down to 6.3% so they are celebrating?  This reads like the old jokes we used to tell about Communists in Russia twisting statistics in the Cold War days.  We have become pathetic.

Isn’t the statistic regarding whether or not people are employed and not whether or not they “dropped out?”  And, who says they dropped out?  Are there affidavits on file?  Would they not have accepted jobs?

Mr. Obama claims 288,000 new jobs were created in April, but 80,000 of those are replacements for people who died while employed and how many were 40 hour a week workers?  The new Obama work week is 35 hours or less.  How about the fact we create 330,000 new workers every month?
Like most of what comes from the Obama Administration this 6.3% is highly suspect.  Where we have 92,594,000 people not working of a workforce of 248,908,000 is not our real unemployment rate more like 37.2%?

Our numbers are official and have prisoners, mothers of children under 12, lottery and Publishers Clearing House winners subtracted from 2010 census figures.

The point of this is that we have a President who is running from reality for political purpose and gain.  He is either  ignorant, inept or insane and cannot define the problem to set his forces to work on it.  There is no solution forthcoming save removing Mr. Obama and we can only wonder how much longer the Democrats will put up with his numbers.
