O'Malley is Pumping And Dumping Inaccurate Information

Hi Joe

I just read O'Malley's latest press release regarding November's job numbers for Maryland and I posted a comment under his latest press release.

He did not accurately report the number. The BLS report shows that the labor force in Maryland - Nov. 2011 - 3,081,500
Nov. 2012 - 3,103,600

So in essense we have gained 22,100 new jobs - not the 22,200 jobs as stated in his report.

Bottom line - This is not good news at all as Maryland's population grew at a rate of .0095% - or - we gained 54,737 new people from Fiscal Year 2010 to Fiscal Year 2011.

We needed to generate at least 50,000 jobs or more than double this amount to keep up with high school and college graduates.

Check out the information yourself at the US Bureau of Labor Statistics:

Please folks - double check out the information before you take these press releases for gospel.

Pumping and Dumping? Do you know what that really means?

To 5:47 - I believe it means that he - (O'Malley) - is 'sugar coating' the press release in order to bolster his ratings. Fact is - there is nothing in the recipe to tout anything. By any standard - the 22,100 job number that O'Malley touts is a sub-standard.

And that is what 'Pumping and Dumping' means.

Anon 7:37, that is not what it means! It refers to a man who has sex with someone he doesn't care about.

It's call propaganda. It is a well known communist tactic.

I think that is exactly what what 7:37 PM is saying.
