Just stories, or more Government lies

Jim Clifton, the Chairman and CEO of Gallup, published an op-ed detailing his objections to the way the Federal Government calculates the unemployment rate today. The polling CEO said the official unemployment rate does a poor job presenting a comprehensive picture of what the workforce looks like.

“The official unemployment rate, as reported by the U.S. Department of Labor, is extremely misleading,” Clifton said.

“If you, a family member or anyone is unemployed and has subsequently given up on finding a job–if you are so hopelessly out of work that you’ve stopped looking over the past four weeks–the Department of Labor doesn’t count you as unemployed,” Clifton said. “That’s right.”

“While you are as unemployed as one can possibly be, and tragically may never find work again, you are not counted in the figure we see relentlessly in the news–currently 5.6 percent.”

Clifton said as many as 30 million Americans most wouldn’t consider employed are not counted in the official statistic. In addition to those who’ve given up looking for work, he points out that those who are working part time but want full time employment are not considered unemployed under the official measure.

“There’s no other way to say this,” he said. “The official unemployment rate, which cruelly overlooks the suffering of the long-term and often permanently unemployed as well as the depressingly underemployed, amounts to a big lie.”

Two U.S. officials say a key Arab member of the U.S.-led coalition against the Islamic State militants has stopped flying combat missions over Syria.
The United Arab Emirates dropped out of the group of countries conducting airstrikes against IS targets in Syria in December, the officials said. They spoke Wednesday only on condition of anonymity because the move has not been announced and they were not authorized to speak on the record.
Even after the UAE stopped flying the missions, the U.S. military has continued to state in daily news releases about the air campaign that the UAE is among coalition partner nations "conducting airstrikes in Syria."
The New York Times was first to report the UAE's decision to stop conducting airstrikes.



“We will have the most transparent government in history.”
So says the “Royal Liar” even though he has yet to prove it, but that's okay cause he's black, he's the president, and he promised “Fundamental change” and his partners in crime “Al the so-called 'Man of God' Sharpton” who also lies out of both sides of his mouth, and is alleged to be a “Tax Dodger”{criminal offense} promise the country that everything is
“Okay Baby,” just trust me, got everything under control!!!”
Well, America, we keep letting them get away with it, until the hammer falls, and it will fall.



How long do we put up with this bull, there is enough on record to move for impeachment yet no one does, there is enough on record to move for secession, buyt we still one. There is enough to revamp the whole governmental process yet nothing is done, business as usual , so how do we respond as usual a klot of noise and nothing else.



If you think the problem is minimal, you are the person I want to see, cause I got some nice beach front property in El Paso I want to sell you. You make yourself out to be just like Gruber, you know the guy who gave us Obamacare and said we were to stupid to realize what was happening, he's also the guy who says to tax fat people by their weight, check it out for yourself---

Ex-ObamaCare adviser Gruber: Tax fat people by body weight

By Patrick Howley

Published February 04, 2015

Jonathan Gruber, long credited as the architect of ObamaCare, once discussed the necessity of taxing fat people by body weight in order to fight obesity.
“Ultimately, what may be needed to address the obesity problem are direct taxes on body weight,” Gruber wrote in an essay for the National Institute for Health Care Management in April 2010, just months after helping design ObamaCare with the president in the Oval Office and during the period in which he was under contract as an Obama administration consultant.
“While it is hard to conceive of this approach being a common public policy tool in the near term, such taxation may be happening indirectly through health insurance surcharges,” he wrote. “Currently, employers may charge up to 20 percent higher health insurance premiums for employees who fail to meet certain health-related standards, such as attaining a healthy BMI.”
“The new health reform legislation increases this differential to 30 percent, with the possibility of rising to 50 percent. Results of programs that use differential premiums to impose direct financial penalties for obesity will bear watching in the future.”
Just imagine this going through, if that happens, what else will get taxed, here's one let's tax pseudo-intellectuals for their idiotic musings. That should shut about ½ of the left up.
Well I guess this is okay cause this is what we let go on, you know it's refreshing to see someone like the King of Jordan, a terrorist kills on of yours, kill ten of theirs. Now that's Fitting
