Jobless report continues to improve - GOP heads explode
God's Own Party, in the face of improving jobless numbers during a Democratic administration, double down on calling women sluts, screaming falsely about losses of religious freedomz, and blaming people with no control of the subject about gasoline prices.
Meanwhile, the rest of the United States is trying to move forward in the 21st century. Quote:

From Coach's link and oh so true. Funny and sad.
http://www.usnews.com/opinion/articl...mployment-rate COSTELLO: I want to talk about the unemployment rate in America. ABBOTT: Good Subject. Terrible Times. It's about 8 percent. COSTELLO: That many people are out of work? ABBOTT: No, that's 16 percent. COSTELLO: You just said 8 percent. ABBOTT: 8 percent unemployed. [Check out the U.S. News Economic Intelligence blog.] COSTELLO: Right 8 percent out of work. ABBOTT: No, that's 16 percent. COSTELLO: Okay, so it's 16 percent unemployed. ABBOTT: No, that's around 8 percent... COSTELLO: Waits a minute. Is it 8 percent or 16 percent? ABBOTT: 8 percent are unemployed. 16 percent are out of work. COSTELLO: If you are out of work aren't you unemployed? ABBOTT: No, you can't count the "Out of Work" as unemployed. You have to look for work to be unemployed. [See a slide show of Mort Zuckerman's 5 Ways to Create More Jobs.] COSTELLO: But they are out of work!!! ABBOTT: No, you miss my point. COSTELLO: What point? ABBOTT: Someone who doesn't look for work, can't be counted with those who look for work. It wouldn't be fair. COSTELLO: To who? ABBOTT: The unemployed. COSTELLO: But they are all out of work. ABBOTT:No, the unemployed are actively looking for work ... Those who are out of work stopped looking. They gave up. And, if you give up, you are no longer in the ranks of the unemployed. COSTELLO: So if you're off the unemployment roles, that would count as less unemployment? [See the 10 best cities to find a job.] ABBOTT: Unemployment would go down. Absolutely! COSTELLO: The unemployment just goes down because you don't look for work? ABBOTT: Absolutely it goes down. That's how you get to 8 percent. Otherwise it would be 16 percent. You don't want to read about 16 percent unemployment do ya? COSTELLO: That would be frightening. ABBOTT: Absolutely. COSTELLO: Wait, I got a question for you. That means ther're two ways to bring down the unemployment number? ABBOTT: Two ways is correct. COSTELLO: Unemployment can go down if someone gets a job? [See the 10 worst cities to find a job.] ABBOTT:Correct. COSTELLO:And unemployment can also go down if you stop looking for a job? ABBOTT: Bingo. COSTELLO: So there are two ways to bring unemployment down, and the easier of the two is to just stop looking for work. ABBOTT: Now you're thinking like an economist. COSTELLO: I don't even know what the hell I just said!

yeah, when i saw the one title abbott and costello i had to check it out.
funny, but so sad because it's exactly what they use to show how things are just peachy. 'look, it's getting better'. but it's not. on top of bad numbers, bad economy, bad debt/deficits, you have an admin who feels perfectly justified in killing citizens with drones.

The Nonfarm Payrolls Report of Doom By Matthew Yglesias | Posted Friday, June 1, 2012, at 9:01 AM ET The latest jobs report is a total disaster. We got 69,000 new jobs in May which is well below already tepid expectations and is below the labor force trend growth rate. Terrible. But it gets worse! “The change in total nonfarm payroll employment for March was revised from +154,000 to +143,000, and the change for April was revised from +115,000 to +77,000.” In other words, we gained 69,000 new jobs in May (estimated) but lost 49,000 in revisions. That leaves us with a net increase in employment of just 20,000. Disaster disaster disaster.
