"The jobless rate reported today is “corrupt as it can be” because President Barack Obama’s administration has decreased the size of the workforce, Rush Limbaugh said on his radio show.
According to the Department of Labor, employers added almost a quarter of a million jobs in January. According to Limbaugh, it eliminated 2 ½ million positions.
“The number of jobs not available to be filled exploded by an unprecedented, record number of 1.2 million,” he said.“That’s not a typo. That’s part of this 2 ½ million fewer jobs. It is corrupt as it can be.”
He said the shrinking of “the overall universe of jobs” led to the misconstrued dip in the unemployment rate, to 8.3, from 8.5 in December.
“No president has ever been re-elected when the unemployment rate’s over 8 percent, so guess what it’s going to be by the time we get to Election Day,” he said." "Figures lie and liars Figure."
(quoted from Newsmax)

Keep drinking the kool aid to bad you didnt meet Mr. Jones.
Explain to me how there could be nearly 2 MILLION workers lost in the seasonal jobs report and why if the economy is doing so damned good why we still have record foreclosures in the housing market and nearly 40 MILLION people added to the foodstamp kings total?
Why is gas over 3.50 a gallon and why is unemployment still above 8.55 % even if you trust the lies being told to you
I am eager to consider any logical response Logical being the key

The economy is not doing well. It is horrible. Just because we are now gaining a few jobs, instead of losing so many, doesn't mean that most Americans are in a better condition, it is just not getting worse as fast. Thus the destruction of America has slowed.

We have record foreclosures because millions are still out of work, and apparently will be for quite some time. If you look at the number of people working in America, it is less than half. Don't count the children, elderly or rich, then we still have almost half not working. The real unemployment number is in the 40% level. It will take a long time to repair that damage.

Why is gas over $3.50 a gal? Because the oil companies want to have more of our money so they charge as much as they think they can get away with. If you ran an oil company, knowing the law says you can be sued if you don't earn as much as you can for your corporation, would you charge less?

Regarding unemployment numbers, we have learned that there are a lot of ways to count that we were never taught in school, at least that bears true with this administration.

I had so many people telling me Obama wouldn't win, and McCain would beat him. Well that didn't happen. Obama surprised many. So you keep looking through that foggy crystal ball.

Obama is funny, but loons are a hoot. All of his people, and buddys are in the 1% group as is Obama himself, yet he talks in the third person as they are some some long lost members of a tribe. The Bend Over Tribe.........known as liberal progressives.

Privately, Obama sees recovery 1-2 years off byPaul Bedard
Follow on Twitter:

The public President Obama, bubbly in his reelection campaigning about a recovering U.S. economy, isn’t as optimistic in private, telling a select few that it will likely take up to two years for any recovery to click in.

A letter provided to Washington Secrets from Obama to a long-unemployed Portland, Maine carpenter pulls back the curtain of economic hope to reveal the truth about the stagnant economy.“I won’t lie to you,” Obama penned in hand to Charles Oliver in October.“It will probably take another year or two to fully dig our way out of this hole.”

Obama budget slated for $3.8 trillion

The White House rolled out its new $3.8 trillion budget Monday, promising major investments to spur a manufacturing revival in the U.S. while walking a fine line between the August debt accords and President Barack Obama’s fear that too much austerity now will spell trouble for the economy—and his own reelection chances in November.
