This is amazing!

Some 3 or 4 moths ago, the unemployment shot up all the way to 4.6%. Then the democrats got elected to the majority in congress, and wallah, the unemployment rate goes all the way down to 4.4% again. Those democrats are miracle workers!

You have to see these figues from the leftist point of view:

Higher unemployment figure = Bush's failed economic policies.

Lower unemployment figure = Bush's failed economic policies discouraged people from applying for unemployment compensation.

Job losses = Bush's failed economic policies.

Job creations = Bush's failed economic policies lead to more people working in low-paid service sector jobs.

Got it now?

So the Fed can secretly boost the amount of large time deposits and repos. You fools will never discover their fiendish plot. Muhahahaha!!!
