Another terrible jobs number

why do you want this country to fail, basso?

 

There's a simple way to validate it. if the number is accurate, there should have been a concomitant jump in payroll tax receipts.

was there?

 

How your consistently racist, prejudice posts is a miracle to me. You, bigtexx, gwayneco, esteban, and Commodore give this board a bad name.

 

What is Royce White doing over there in the middle and what's with his hat?

 

what, pray tell is racist about this picture?

before you answer, please fill in the blank:

if dog whistles can only be heard by dogs, racist dog whistles can only be heard by _________.

 

I'm happy to help you file a FOIA request on this for $1000. When can we start?

Of course, Dogwhistles can be seen by anyone, and the sight of your little cheeks puffing and sweat streaming with your lips locked on the cylinder as you frantically google brown folks to interwebpost is as plain as day.

 

go for it, and bill me.

 

Not if you bothered to take the 2 minutes to learn how the number is calculated.

 

US CBO: Est. $75b Sept Federal Govt Surplus Vs -$63b Yr Ago

Net receipts from individual income and payroll taxes rose by $5 billion (or 3 percent).Withheld receipts from those sources fell by $1 billion, but they would have risen if not for the effects of the calendar: September 2012 had two fewer business days than September 2011. Nonwithheld receipts of individual income and payroll taxes, mainly quarterly estimated payments of 2012 taxes, rose by $3 billion (or 6 percent).

lulz:

In 2003, former Obama economic adviser Goolsbee said Bush had ‘cooked the books’ to produce lower unemployment rate

basso has joined the ranks of the BLStruthers

 

can't spell BLS w/o BS.

 

Your hero W?

 

Stuff like this does make me very worried for this country. That there are a large group of people so worried for this country that they just refuse to accept facts and have convinced themselves that everything is a conspiracy or groupthink.

 

I would blame it on corporate owned media. Politicians and spin doctors know that they can lie with impunity.

 

Nope, it's much more reptilian than that I think

 

fact: Obama and his administration lie with impunity
fact: the media (largely) ignores, or excuses Obama's mendacity
reason: doubting the veracity of this report

 

So let's review...

fact checkers
the media
polls
nonpartisan government agencies

all are conspiring to re-elect the President.

 

I don't think the right wingers are doing Romney any favors by talking about all this BLS conspiracy theory.

First, they make the September numbers (decent but not super great) sound better. I mean, a voter who isn't a jobs stats expert might think the numbers are really good because the right wingers deem it important enough to investigate conspiracies over.

Second, it draws even more attention to the positive jobs numbers coverage and sucks oxygen from news like, you know, Romney's debate victory.

Finally, it makes the right wingers sound crazy and desperate, particularly after that "unskewed polls" nonsense.

At the same time, these are precisely the reasons why Democrats are spending time talking about (and making fun) of the jobs truthers. It's something that they don't mind at all keeping in the news cycle for the next few days.

 

i think we should all just cue up some paul mac and wings, smoke a doob, and chill thef uck out.
