Tomorrow morning we will have another weekly "benefits" report. More good news for Obama. More smoke and mirrors for the rest of us.


I won't take time to expand on the following,  but,  maybe,  you can fill in the blanks on your own.  

In November,  the Obama Labor Department admitted that it had dropped 350,000 folks out of the labor force because they are no longer looking for work and no longer qualify for unemployment benefits.  

Turns out that December saw 50,000 more,  dropped off the roles.  

Understand that when this sort of thing happens,  it appears as if those these folks went back to work.  It is considered "good news"  and the unemployment rate "falls"  from 9.0% to 8.5%.  If you go over to "Gallup unemployment,"  you will find a straight line expressing the past several months of employment/unemployment rather than a sharp downward trend line.  You know what that means !!!!  More smoke and mirrors.
