By the way - the BEA is a treasure of facts that show Bush is a liar - as is the DOL

The DOL "birth/death" employment adjustment - where word of layoffs is assumed to mean folks getting equivalent new jobs which are just not yet reported in the payroll system - but where those new jobs are never verified by survey - so we have a cumulative birth death adjustment that just grows and grows as folks work off of the payroll tax system -????

This is a logical adjustment if zero'd out each year via survey - but Bush is not known of competence and I never said Bush was logical.

Add up all the DOL "birth/death" employment adjustments to date and you find Bush has barely added a million jobs in 5 years despite a major increase in working age population.

But our media pretends this is a great economy because the really rich are getty obscenely rich.
