Leftist fanatics treat myth like they treat truth. It is to them what they imagine it to be. The reality of people losing full time jobs is inconsequential compared to the victory over the US medical system. Everyone is going to pay for this mess, with income and insufficient healthcare.
ABC News just blamed the poor jobs numbers on the shutdown.
I hate those people.
Let every RAT embrace their own doom. DeathCare will stick to these vermin with super glue come 2014.
I figure if it’s a government agency then, like the IRS, EPA, NSA, et al.—it has been tainted by Barry Sauron, so I’m not going to waste any more time with it.

Sorry feds, but you made your beds. We trust you even less now.
don’t believe ANYTHING this gubmint tells ya about anything.
they be liars.
BLS= bureau of lies and statistics.
Bureau of Labor Statistics. According to HOUSEHOLD DATA, Table A-9. Selected employment indicators, Full-time Jobs fell 560k while Part-time Jobs increased 702k. According to the Non-seasonally adjusted data (NSA).
But if we used Seasonally adjusted data (SA), Full-time Jobs rose 691k while Part-time Jobs decreased 594k.
When the powers that be don’t like the numbers, they can just apply one of many possible “Adjustments” and POOF! All is well!
