lmao.

the same unemployment numbers that have been used for all time, are now "bullshit", because they don't say what you want them to say.

and you accuse others of spin and bias.

you are angry because you exist in a bubble of spin, and reality keeps popping that bubble, which is why you want to run away to an island, to keep that bubble safe.

Yeah, look deeper at the participation rate.
 
And I want to go to an island because I'm getting old and chicks like rich guys. I'm not stupid.

Oh, playground rules. The difference, again, is that I openly admit how much I loathe this administration. You actually think you're not biased which is completely laughable.

Who said I do not think I am biased. Christ you are dumb. I know I am biased. I have never pretended otherwise, unlike you.

Your party has gone loony tunes. There is nothing to support. They have nothing to offer.

there are at least 6 different unemployment numbers to look at, including ones that account for participation rate and for partial employment and for a host of other factors.

they all show the same trend. the obama administration's record on job creation has been incredible. (even better - it's all private sector job growth - obama is the first potus in relevant history that has had to deal with massive public sector job slashing at both the federal and state level - unlike guys like reagan and bush who ginned up unemployment numbers with massive increases in government workers).

unbiased people would look at these numbers, which have always been used, and compare apples to apples.

biased people would decide to change the number they view as most important, depending on the story they want to believe in.

the truth is you don't know the history of the labor participation rate, don't know what effects it, and don't know why it is or isn't included in some unemployment measurements. the only thing you care about is that it is a number that sounds as if it can make obama look bad.

look deeper.

You just proved my point yet again. While I do not have liberal leanings, I haven't been a Republican since 2004. Your consistent implication that they're "my party" shows just how stupid you are.

Glad you finally admit your biased. Took someone calling you out to do so though.

The fact you defend the job numbers, and ignore the growth rate (worst in 30 years) is typical.

obama is the only one that hasn't been able to gin up job numbers with massive government jobs increases, and in fact has incredibly had to deal with massive slashing of them......and still his jobs record is better than any of them.
