In a scathing attack on what he calls the government’s “extremely misleading” unemployment statistics, Gallup Chairman and CEO Jim Clifton publicly affirmed what many have known for a long time: The federal government’s economic statistics, including unemployment, are grossly and intentionally misstated for the purpose of making the economy appear better than it is.
“There’s no other way to say this,” Clifton writes on the Gallup website. “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.”
Decrying all the “celebrating from the media, the White House and Wall Street about how unemployment is ‘down’ to 5.6 percent,” as well as the “deafening” media cheerleading of the Obama administration, the chairman of one of the biggest and most respected names in polling says the government, media and wall street – all of them – are lying to the American public.
Anybody with an ounce of common sense already knew this. There has been nothing but lies and deception from the beginning of this administration. Obama and his cronies making up lies is daily news these days. Maybe we should have a national breaking news story when we find them telling the truth, that would be more shocking.
The real number is around 17% the worst it has been since the Great Depression. Look it up (on alternative news sources of course, the MSM wants to keep you asleep and stupid).
