Even I was beginning to feel good about the recent
government new-jobs report (up over 300,000 jobs) until I read the following CNBC
article that puts its numbers in a more sobering perspective: CNBC Analysis. Apparently actual employment growth was only by 4,000 while full-time jobs
declined by 150,000 and part-time jobs increased by 77,000. Even
when things are looking up for Americans, it seems only a statistical illusion.
One can
surmise that we are now living in an Obamacare economy where job security and
middle-class expansion is a thing of the past. First Senator Chuck Schumer and
now the Obamacare co-sponsor, Senator Tom Harkin, is saying that the Obamacare
law was a gigantic mistake … as it is far too complicated … see: USA Today Article/. (He still wants a single-payer health-care system however.)
So, once again, we see that we are living in a nation of
make-believe numbers to gloss over legislative and administrative incompetence.
What’s that old song, “It’s only a paper moon hanging over a cardboard sea …”?
