20 million citizens of the United States are now considered deeply impoverished. 1.6 million are homeless, 500,000 of which are little children. 28 million workers are unemployed. Food and energy prices are rising. There are 5 wars in the Middle East. And it is cold outside. Many citizens of the United States are living in miserable conditions not seen since the Great Depression and what is our all loving and caring government doing about this situation?
Well I think we can all feel a little warmer in knowing that our illustrious leader, the Peace President Barack Hussein Obama, and his wife and children will be leaving on a 17 day, all expense paid, luxury Christmas vacation in Hawaii. If this is not proof positive that it is up to we the people to end this Obamanation that this insurgent government represents, I do not know what is.

We all remember back in December of 2010 when the Lame Duck Congress was considering extensions of the Bush era tax cuts for the top 1%, the millionaire and billionaire individuals and trillion dollar hedge funds. The argument was put forth that the tax cuts were not funded, to which the neo-cons responded saying the tax cuts did not need to be funded because they represented a tax increase if they were not allowed to continue. This is a classic example of double speak wherein down is up, unless they need it to be down for their advantage.
Today it is being debated as to whether tax cuts for the middle class and working poor should be continued, and in this instance the neo-cons are purporting that furthering the tax breaks is unfunded and hence expenditure we cannot afford.

The alternative media can mark a success in bringing out the truth that the mainstream propagandists are, and have been, using the long term unemployed, who have exhausted their benefits, to create the fraudulent unemployment number that they are and have been putting forth as a fact. 315,000 long term unemployed were deducted from the backside of the unemployment rate last month bringing it to 8.6%.
We must remember that when the mainstream manipulators were reporting a 9.6% unemployment rate they actually put it on the screen that the “real” number was 15%, which was still a lie because the real number is closer to 30%. Now if they have dropped the unemployment rate by cutting numbers off of the back end, then those numbers have to be added to the true number.

The unemployment rate drastically dropped to 8.6% as a result of revised calculations. It is said 120,000 jobs were created last month and after revising/changing the job growth numbers for the past 2 months, and of course taking 315,000 99ers from the number on the back end, the lie is perpetuated.
Admittedly 225,000 new jobs a month have to be added in order to just keep up with the flow of new employees coming into the system. This being said, how can the unemployment rate drop in the face of an average of 400,000 new jobless claim filings per week and only 120,000 new jobs being added in a month?
