It's all who you know and who you blow

Unfortunately this holds more true today then ever I believe. Except for the blowing part, kinda...

Of course, the government looks better when they choose the metrics; Don't let anyone fool you by claiming the Fed doesn't play politics.

The BLS also exclude people that have dropped out of the labor market and underemployed in the unemployment calculations when they report unemployment, you have to go to BLS and look at the data to get the real number. The government also piles FICA taxes into the general revenue which created an illusion of a Clinton surplus. If I ran a business using government accounting methods I would be in prison. Hell, If Bernie had gone to the trouble of getting a religious designation for his business he would still be a free and wealthy man.

funny thing is...the BLS includes all the lazy motherfuckers who refuse to go back to work until their benefits run out IN the unemployment statistics.

how the hell do you drop out of the labor market anyway? welfare? drug dealer?? kill yourself??? how????

They cant include them bro. Once the UE runs out, the paper trail for tracking does.
Unless they are on Foodstamps or Welfare. Which is cheaper than UE insurance.

my point was that (imho) a majority...yes...i said majority...of the people on unemployment right now are there because they want to be, not because they have to be...there's jobs in them thar hills, but people would rather sit on their couch and collect $700 a week.

Hahhaha bro I bet you 90% if not more are NOT collecting that much.. Hahha come on bro..

Maybe they don't have the experience for many jobs out there. I just can't make a statement saying that the majority of ppl on unemployment are there cause they want to be.
