So you all might have heard Trump say a few days ago that the "real" UE rate was 43%. Ignoring the fact that his number is wildly off, it appears to be the next Republican talking point evolving from the typical favorite statistic as of late, the U6 number, which is supposed to be "true" rate of UE that Obama is deliberately doctoring and manipulating to make himself look good.
And this leads me to once again document yet another instance of Obama being the most incompetent autocrat in history. Because if Obama were truly trying to "hide" the U6 number, you would think he wouldn't put
in the same table that appears in every BLS jobs report that contains the official UE rate (U3). Not to mention that same table has another measure of UE that would be far more flattering to the president, U1, which would mean the official UE rate only be at 2.8%. Presumably, you'd think the Fuhrer would tell his loyal thugs at the labor department to use that figure from the moment that he came into office.
But no, Chairmain DumbaMAO somehow overlooked these details for some reason. And he could have gotten it away if it wasn't for the meticulous vigilance of Republican watchdogs.
Also, even the absurd number that Trump's using because he "doesn't trust the government" is also laughable because the numbers that he used to calculate it (91 million people out of the labor market divided by the whole labor market, I think?) is also in the same fucking report!
