  4. Fair enough .Its my opinion that most accept the unemployment numbers that the goverment and media feeds them


    Its my opinion that a lower reported BLS unemployment rate helps one candidate or the other regardless if its accurate or not

    I didn't see the appearance, but if they were sad because the number looked "good" then they should have the intelligence to show where the number isn't what it's being reported as.

    If they are "sad" because it is still bad, then they are right.

  10. My guess is they think most people accept it and know it would be a losing battle.They are also part of the same federal goverment that decides the official numbers so that would make them look bad . Arguing the numbers when they made a significant drop also makes them look bad

    Just my opinion though
