Default O/T: The Bail Out



"hex" wrote

Unemployment numbers are flaky at best. A job is not necessarily a
job that really benefits the fundamental economy. Yes, pretty much any
job is better than no job. But, flippin' burgurs and makin' latte
provides limited benefit.


And, IIRC, those statistics for jobs flipping burgers are now included as
jobs in "manufacturing" ... a despicable subterfuge, almost as bad as
removing the cost of food and fuel from the "inflation index".

Another reason why there should not be an incumbent left standing in
Congress after November.
