The unemployment rate is simply NOT accurate.
People continue to lose their jobs but the unemployment rate stays at 6 percent???

They (Bureau of Labor Statistics)are dropping people off of the back end nearly as fast as they are getting laid off. By doing this the don't count those that have "left the work force" or those who have taken much lower paying jobs.

They want us to believe these people just left the work force?? Where did they go?? How are they making a living now?? Lets keep an eye on the crime rate too, as some of the people going off of the back end will resort to desperate measures.

The bottom line though is the 6 percent number they put out for public consumption is pure crappola.

Jim, a quote from another post of yours:

<<sticking my tongue down this girl's throat last week,>>

I've tried this and know that it is not possible. With this in mind, I was going to confront you on the probable falsehood of your statement, when I realized she must have had her teeth out. Your record of complete truthfulness remains intact. <gg>
