Plouffe: we have created over 4 million jobs in the last 26 months.

==

That equates to an average of 38,461 jobs per WEEK.

As of Thursday, the weekly NEW joblessness claims were back up to 380,000.

Team Obama keep saying they created over 4 million jobs. However, that equates to about 1 new job for every 10 jobs lost per WEEK.

That 4 million sounds impressive, until the numbers are broken down. Then 4 million is only about 10% of the number of jobs that needs to be created.

Statistics are a snare and a delusion most of the time as they are usually trotted out to prove somebody’s point about something and are often manipulated.

Statistics from the Obama administration can be immediately dismissed as they don’t even bother with manipulation; they just move straight on to lying.

I guess some people just believe any statistic they toss out and that’s the audience they are playing to.

I read a CK Chesteron saying that I think would appeal to you

The business of Progressives Democrats is to go on making mistakes. The business of the Conservatives Republicans is to prevent the mistakes from being corrected."

And why isn't FOX NEWS SUNDAY able to figure that out?

Divide that 4 million into almost one trillion dollars and each job took millions of dollars to product. Not a great deal by any standard.
