It seems like you are struggling with the fact that we have a POTUS who told us for years that we should not trust the numbers put out by the Dep't of Labor, but now says that the numbers are good.

I may be wrong, but it looks to me like you are trying to sidestep his hypocrisy and change the topic to a discussion about how the numbers are calculated.

So, let me rephrase my question.

Do you believe as the POTUS said yesterday, that the jobs number for February and the 4.7% unemployment rate are the real numbers now?

Or do you still only trust the U6 number?

The one I will trust is the U6 number. I also will watch the number of jobs that are part time. The same gripes hi had when Obama was **** it up. If the US dwindles and the PART TIME jobs number decreases WITH that rate falling than we have success.

Plus, since you applauded that method with Obama you need to be applauding it now.

So you are, correct?
