Obama Economy “Is Still In A Giant Hole”

WASHINGTON - The bleak truth about the comatose Obama economy is not just that it’s barely breathing, but that it’s still not far from another recession. President Obama’s campaign bid for another four years is loosely based on the preposterous claim the economy is “moving forward.” In fact, it’s been falling backward or at least [...]

Obama’s War on Women…and Intelligence

When President Obama started talking about “shovel-ready jobs,” who knew he was talking about the shovels needed to dig a hole deep enough to lower the bar to a level his campaign could clear. As if his campaign of “Romnesia,” Big Bird and “binders” wasn’t desperate enough, the stench of desperation was turned up to [...]

Show vs. Substance

It was Clausewitz, the military strategist, who famously defined war as politics by other means. Politics in turn could be defined as history determined by other means. For each present political choice tends to come with its own view of the past. It would be hard to find a better example of that tendency than [...]

Obama’s Real Unemployment Rate: 14.7%

The Bureau of Labor Statistics (BLS) reported last Friday that 114,000 new jobs were created last month, according to its Establishment Survey of business payrolls that has been emphasized by the Obama Administration. That is pitifully weak, especially for what is supposed to be the fourth year of a recovery (the National Bureau of Economic [...]

America Needs Leadership, Not Empty Rhetoric

Would you vote for him if he had presided over a deficit-spending binge that ran up four yearly budget deficits well [...]

Believe it – Employment Numbers Were Ginned

  A couple weeks ago, this column analyzed the inflation rate reported by the Bureau of Labor Statistics (BLS), and concluded that you should rely on your common sense when the government reports questionable statistics. If they don’t make sense based on what you see, experience, and hear from your friends, then they’re probably wrong. [...]

The September Jobs Lie

numbers never lie   As predicted right here on From the Trenches World Report over a year ago, the mainstream propagandists and the Zionists they serve have lied the unemployment rate down to under 8% in time for the election. Considering their new, and in reality their now third, mechanism for creating these false numbers, they may well [...]

US Foodstamp Usage Rises To New Record High

While the 0.4% perfectly unmanipulated and totally coincidental swing in the unemployment rate in an Obama favorable direction one month before the election came at a prime time moment for the market, one hour ahead of the open, setting the market mood for the rest of the day (which despite all best efforts still closed [...]

A Jobs Report Conspiracy?

Well, isn’t that convenient? The Obama campaign desperately needed the last employment report to be released before the election to show that the unemployment rate had fallen below 8 percent, and somehow it magically happened. Even though non-farm payroll employment only increased by 114,000 last month (not enough to even keep up with population growth), [...]
