Can you give a similar guarantee that Romney didn't commit fraud on his tax returns???

    TWY, the unemployment number was never meant to be that precise, IMO.

    It's just that the figure has been politicized so much, but we already know that the number isn't that reliable when it comes to figuring out how many jobs are being created in this economy. For example, that number can come down when many people simply give up looking for work. It's not good news for the economy, though.

    Same thing with the CBO numbers that Democrats have often used to "prove" ObamaCare is "revenue-neutral." Those numbers are only useful for planning purposes and are not very reliable for predicting the actual cost of legislation. Yet the Democrats use their figures to shut down any debate over the cost of their legislation, especially as they wave the "non-partisan" label of the CBO in our faces.

    from mistermj:

    Today, Santelli went on a tear about the BLS's (doctored) September jobs report, which nearly every high-profile pundit in the finance world has denounced. I made the point that the probability is slim that 873,000 people were hired in a month in which nearly half the country was indicating recession. Sparring with Steve Liesman, Santelli makes a number of points in his fiery, entertaining way:
