The US Department of Labor just reported a large increase in the number of initial and continuing jobless claims.

Looks to be about 25% or so. FED said it needed at least 4% unemployment...well these changes put it at 3.8% ...

Uh? Imagine that.

“ wow... government lies. who’d a thunk that.”

THIS government ALWAYS lies. Next time they [accidently] tell the truth, it’ll be the first time.

This was SOP under Obama. Put a number out, revise it later. It's amazing to think about the destruction Obama has done to our Country.

I called my mortgage company because I’m having trouble paying the bills...they wanted money NOW or would send to collections. However, I told them “all is good, there’s no more mean Tweets”. She understood, immediately apologized and dropped everything.

Don’t you know that the official numbers are always the corrected numbers?

I mean, you should be grateful you get the numbers at all, filthy peasants.

The Dung Beetle turd rollers love to always accuse Americans as being liars. It’s the Dung Beetles who are the liars. They NEVER tell the truth.

This time I don’t have the desire to put forth the effort to right the ship as in 2016. Let the ‘Progressives’ sweat it.
