Of the following headlines and links, tell me which news outlets are carrying the water for the regime if it isn't that hard to figure out already:

Unemployment claims jump, but Home Depot is hiring

Wow, non-seasonally adjusted up a whopping 102, 314 !!!! Think that was covered by the mainstream media? Uh, no. But let's be fair and compare this number to the comparable number from 2011:

WAIT JUST ONE DADGUMMED MINUTE! (To quote the famous former FSU Head Coach, Bobby Bowden)….

Last year the numbers looked one heck of a lot better and the numbers this year look one hell of a lot like 2010, 2009, and worse! So just how bad was it during the Bush administration before the Great Recession? Let's take a look at first the long term NSA Unemployment Claims chart that I have maintained since 2007:

Are you kidding me? The Christmas layoffs in 2007, during the “teeth” of the start of the housing crash and “Great Recession” were that much fewer than now, the time of the Great Messiah's Recovery? It would appear someone is lying so let's take a second to review the raw data from the 2007 era and see just how bad things were when children were begging from dogs in the streets of America:

Another WOW! WOW! WOW! WOW!

Oh my GAWD!

504, 261 non-seasonally adjusted claims?!?!?!? America hasn't seen that since, uh, well, Bush was the President. Just great, I praised a moron by comparing his numbers to that of a liar.

Buckle up for the BS folks, the data and lies are only going to get worse.
