"Bureaucracies accomplish nothing so efficiently as perpetuating and growing themselves."
Mike McDaniel "If one were to give the Democrat propaganda media credit for accuracy and honesty, one would believe the economic sky was falling. By their lights, we’re in worse economic shape than we were during the Great Depression. Nothing is affordable, and there are no jobs, which is apparently why it’s vital to keep every illegal immigrant in America and to import tens of millions more. They’ll do the non-existent jobs Americans, who have no jobs, won’t do.
Economists and other “experts” routinely predict economic gloom and doom, yet time and time again, the facts contradict them. At Powerline, Bill Glahn comments:
John noted the blowout jobs report issued yesterday. Payroll jobs up 162,000, exceeding expectations. Numbers for June and July were revised upward. The small loss for July originally announced turned out to be an actual gain. The unemployment rate remains unchanged at 4.1 percent.
If you go back for 25 years, you end up with an average unemployment rate of 5.7 percent. Since this is an election year, and Republicans are in charge, Democrats and the legacy media, but I repeat myself, insist that the economy is worse than the darkest days of the Great Depression, with Dust-Bowl weather and plagues of locusts.
Glahn is referring to this Bureau of Labor Statistics report, which is nothing but good news. Some sources are admitting the numbers are better than expected:
Total nonfarm payroll employment increased by 162,000 in August, and the unemployment rate was unchanged at 4.1 percent, the U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistics reported today. Employment increased in food services and drinking places and in local government education. The information industry lost jobs. . . .
