Funny. "Each week" the "Experts" feed us another line of bs telling us how much better our economy is getting and how few jobs they expect to remain intact over the next week and each week, when the numbers come out, MAGICALLY they always end up "UNEXPECTEDLY" being higher than the week before.

Am I the only one that is feeling the heat or is everyone in the pot of ever increasing hot water enjoying themselves?

Just wondering.

The numbers that are spit out are indeed crap - hard to tell what the heck is going on.

From last week, I note this:

"Posted on Thursday, January 06, 2011 9:07:12 AM by Zakeet

The number of U.S. workers filing new applications for jobless benefits rose last week by 18,000 to 409,000, the Labor Department reported Thursday..."

And today this:

from an upwardly revised reading of 410,000 in the prior week...

So, was it "upwardly revised" by 1000?

“Funny. “Each week the “Experts” feed us another line of bs telling us how much better our economy is getting”

and there was that report that “proved” Fox news viewers were misinformed, they all feel the economy is getting WORSE instead of the glowing happy land we are morphing into.

The market for “Experts” is still strong and apparently there are no credentials necessary to enter it.
