my takeaway, bigtime deception in USGovt econ reporting
serious liberties are being taken to deceive on the labor market
it is getting worse, just like corporate earnings
now both corp earnings and job losses are beating expectations

what a joke, but the illiterate innumerata are buying it
in 1999 we had the fictitious new economy
in 2003 we have the fictitious economic recovery
this time it truly is different
the USGovt had no vested interest in the New Tech Economy
but this time around, the USGovt has a vested interest, linked to the Treasury Debt and GSE (FannyMae) Debt
they must keep the credit bubble inflated

the sad overarching fact I discern is that we have now entered a new dangerous stage of money creation
the USGovt must now accelerate the money supply growth in order to sustain a meagre 0-2% economic GDP growth
personally, I believe they are lying about even the 1.5% GDP growth recently reported
the Austrian Winter is here
$4.5 new credit dollars to create $1 new GDP
while 87% of the GDP is devoted to debt service
we are spinning our gears with nothing to show for it
except a base of jobs, which is shrinking
FRAUD DESERVES THE WORST OUTCOMES
THE USDOLLAR IS THE WEAPON OF JUSTICE HERE
I EXPECT IT WILL WIELD TERRIBLE BLOWS EVENTUALLY

The Labor Department's latest statistics reflected more than the persistence of economic weakness. It also reflected changes in statistical methods that analysts said could muddy interpretations of the report. In an annual "benchmark revision," the department updated its payrolls data from April 2001 onward.

The department also changed the way it calculates payroll data and it expanded the number of job categories. The results showed that job losses this year weren't nearly as steep as previously thought. The Labor Department said businesses cut 131,000 jobs since the beginning of the year, compared with a previous estimate of more than a half million.
