Pelosi Says Unemployment Rate Jumping to 9% Is “Good News”…

If this is “good news” I’d hate to see what she considers bad.

WASHINGTON (AP) — Employers added more than 200,000 jobs in April for the third straight month, the biggest hiring spree in five years. . . .

But the unemployment rate ticked up to 9 percent from 8.8 percent in March, the first increase since November. The government uses a separate survey to calculate the unemployment rate. The survey sometimes diverges from a separate survey used to number of jobs employers added.

    “If this is “good news” I’d hate to see what she considers bad.”

    - Low unemployment.

    Remember, the Cloward-Piven strategy is to push the herd into the arms of a “beneficent and caring” government.

    Also remember that leftists are incapable of logic and promote policies that prove their theories to be self-defeating. Yet, because they are ideologues, they continue instituting the same policies over and over despite their failure. This is a true definition of idiocy.

    GOP MIA after 122 days.. and what chance would a GOP bill have of clearing the Senate and getting signed into law by Zero? Not to mention most of the GOP are smart enough to understand that government cannot create jobs.

    Surprise! Jobs report goosed by government. Full unemployment 15.9 percent

    “Employers added more than 200,000 jobs in April for the third straight month, the biggest hiring spree in five years,” reports the official news oganization for the Obama Adminstration, the Associated Press. “But the unemployment rate ticked up to 9 percent.”

    “The Labor Department reported Friday that the economy added 244,000 jobs last month. Private employers shrugged off high gas prices and created 268,000 jobs- the most since February 2006.”

    Here’s the problem with these numbers:

    The BLS estimates birth and death of private companies and consequent jobs created by them. These numbers have no basis in fact. They are just numbers pulled out of the air.

    As IBT notes “For those of you keeping track at home, the birth death adjustment was 175K, a quite massive figure.”

    Our friend Mike Shedlock says “In recent years Birth/Death methodology has been so screwed up and there have been so many revisions that it has been painful to watch.”

    As the two charts below show, the BLS over-estimated these jobs in 2010. The first chart is the original estimate…”

    The GOP jobs creation bill, it truly equates to defunding Obamacare, maintaining the current tax rates, balancing the budget, cutting government spending, curtailing insolvent entitlement programs and paying down debt. Only and inept liberal progressive bureaucrat lifer that never worked a real job in her life would not understand this, the Democrat’s should just pass everything the GOP House puts forth and then they can learn what is in it later after it is passed…

    I hate AP, they are tools for the left.

    Pelosi is a stupid cow, she doesn’t have a clue what is going on, she’s just parroting leftist propaganda.
