Dow falls 160 points on weak cooked jobs report Investors aren't as dumb as Barry's toads in his state run "media" think they are. They aren't buying the phony numbers created for the "media" by the union thugs.

ZERO Job improvement plan:
1. Remove several million from the ranks as they give up looking for jobs.
2. Get LSM to report good jobs numbers.
3. Punish anybody that dares to report the TRUTH! ! ! !
Even with all the lies the numbers are way too high.
Not to worry LSM will just report 5% in October. . . .
Problem solved. . . . .
Iran next problem for ZERO and the LSM. . . . . . . They will solve it the same way. . . . . .

For the first time the AP, Reuters and other reports are FINALLY telling us that the rate went down because half a million people fell OFF the rolls...
You really haven’t seen that tidbit included in the reportage ( a little Frenchie lingo there) in the past months.
I am sitting here, full of hope that the Ministry of Propaganda might be, may be losing just a sliver of control over the media shills??
Nah...
