Did the workforce participation rate change? West asked. No. Its still a 30-year low. Did the U6 computation 14.7 percent change? No. so how is it that we had a drop of three-tenths of a percentage point on the unemployment rate if these other statistics which related to that do not change? And dont challenge my intelligence, because I tell you, it wasnt too long ago that we were being told that a video was the imminence for this spontaneous attack that ended up killing an ambassador [in Libya]. So there are a lot of questions that come out of this administration. Im not talking about impeachment. I just want someone to come clean with the process and methodology because there is a lot of inconsistencies.West can sure make the MSM wimps squirm.

Well in a sense. They simply reduced the total number of unemployed to make the unemployment number improve.

The answer is simple. The polling people also did the UE figures.

Wish white guilt had elected someone like Mr. West instead of the POC we ended up with as our first black president.

Why do we allow our government to openly lie to us using the concocted number that is paraded around every month? It isn’t a true measure.
The U6 unemployment rate is far closer to reality (it is at 14.7% - unchanged from the previous month).

If I were Romney I would make a point in this debate of saying that he would switch to using the U6 numbers and abolish all the other methods. That all the other measurements are fundamentally dishonest and a willful attempt by the US Goverment to conceal the truth from the people.
Someone has to break this chain of lies and Romney would get huge credit if he were to do it from just about all voters

Thanks for this thread.
If we are ever going to be able to have politicians who are realistic about taxpayer dollars, we must challenge the Liberals on Wall Street.
Liberals work on Wall Street and then donate to anti-business politicians.
Rep. West did the right thing by challenging CNBC Liberal Tyler Mathisen as highlighted by this quote from the article:
” - - - Mathisen took issue with Wests claim and argued that the integrity of the administrations data was not in question.
If you would stop yelling in my ear and allow me to answer your questions, maybe we could get to the bottom of this, West said. - - - “
IMHO, EVERYTHING that the damned Federal Government does and says is ALWAYS in question, ALWAYS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
