Employment Lies

Politics is in full motion now. Does anyone tell the truth? Is either party trustworthy?

The answer to both these questions, unfortunately, is a resounding NO!

Why is it permissible, even expected, for politicians to blatantly lie to the American people? Why are these charlatans not called out for such behavior? Surely no one believes that national leaders consistently lying and getting praised/rewarded for it is good for society! It cannot make for better informed voters. It certainly does not set a good example for our youth.

The current employment situation is a prime example of blatant lies. There is no silver lining regardless of how you massage the numbers. Yet President Obama and his cohorts assure us that we are making progress.

Cut these facts out and paste them on your TV so that you can refute the next barrage of Administration bunkum on employment:
