<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Vess1, post: 788428, member: 13650&quot;]Completely agree on both points.</p><p><br /></p><p>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; Most everything reported is bogus.&nbsp; When they report that unemployment was 10.2 percent, the economy had a net loss of &#039;X&#039; number&nbsp; tens of thousands of jobs in the next month, but unemployment numbers <b>dropped</b> to 10% *<b>after the net loss</b>*&nbsp; (because how many millions stopped looking for work or settled for underemployment?), what has any competent person to really gain from that percentage figure they throw out?</p><p><br /></p><p>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; If you read or listen to any other non-MSM or government source, real unemployment is between 17 to 22% at this time.&nbsp; &nbsp;&nbsp; The official numbers aren&#039;t even calculated the same way they were 20 years ago in order to make things look better than they are.&nbsp;&nbsp; Most people don&#039;t know that.&nbsp;&nbsp; </p><p><br /></p><p>&nbsp;&nbsp; Which is not a surprise because most people have forgotten they were getting the &quot;Making Work Pay&quot; tax credit back incrementally on their pay checks since last April as well, and that was implemented less than a year ago.&nbsp;&nbsp; (And, they don&#039;t realize yet that their tax returns will be significantly less this year because of it.... if they don&#039;t end up paying more in.)&nbsp;&nbsp; </p><p><br /></p><p>&nbsp; Inflation is never accurate either.&nbsp;&nbsp; Didn&#039;t even think it was debatable, but perhaps it was just the wording you chose in order to appease a handful of trusting people.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
