   More a case of ‘man who views everyone else as mildly retarded compared to his own obvious towering intellect loses it when challenged’…

   More like “man who is elected to represent the people of his state asks for a reasonable explanation for why unemployment figures have reduced dramatically where corresponding figures remain largely unchanged”.

   I think that sounds like a reasonable request.

   However, I’ve always believed that this sort of thing brings out the bias in the interviewers more than the interviewees - how many biased BBC interviews have you seen doing the same?

   The man who understands statistics was Congressman West.

   One does not get to be Colonel in the United States army without a good knowledge of mathematics (including statistics).

   Ditto Jack Welsh - now he is retired the governement can not “get at him” by threatening General Electric.

   He said the whole thing (the unemployment rate suddenly dropping below 8% - just before the election) was a typical Chicago Way scam.

   Is Jack Welsh a “lunatic conspiracy theorist”?

   John the inflation rate numbers have been rigged for a long time - just go shopping in the United States over a period of time and compare your experience of rising prices with the offical “inflation rate”.

   So if they rig the inflation rate numbers (which they obviously do) - why not rig the unemployment statistics as well?

   After all anyone who calls them on it is going to be called a “lunatic conspiracy theorist”.

   The United States is fast turning into Argentina.

   If Barack is reelected GET OUT.

   Get out - even if you have to sell all your assets at fire sale prices.
