Sometimes, I feel like we’re living in the old Soviet Union; albeit with a velvet-glove instead of an iron-fist. MSNBC is PRAVDA and our labor statistics are about as truthful as Radio Moscow’s boastful broadcasts about their record wheat harvests. Whatever is one’s political affiliation, we should all agree that our labor statistics are a lie and we should all demand that the BLS publish factual numbers. If they refuse to do this, then all of these economists should be fired and any public official who sanctions their behavior should be impeached for fraudulent practices.

The help wanted section of my local Sunday paper tells me all I need to know about the jobs market. Today it doesn't even cover one and a quarter pages of the paper. Maybe job seekers should head to the homeless shelter to see if any of its residents are hiring. That would be a proper place to start in Obama’s building the economy from bottom up economic model.
