The release of economic data tends to favor the sitting president. Government statistics are released and are usually overstated to the positive and then later revised downward to the real numbers. The revised numbers are normally on “page 5” and not the headline of the news. Had the real numbers been released, President Obama might not have been reelected. However, unemployment ticked downward and reports of recovery were sprinkled over the airways. Now we are once again dealing with the realities as reported by John Williams at www.ShadowStats.com:
December Unemployment: 7.8% (U.3), 14.4% (U.6), 23.0% (ShadowStats.com)
“The economic releases of this past holiday-shortened week showed real median household income in November to be in continuing severe downturn…”
“On the unemployment front, the December U.3 unemployment rate actually increased by 0.1%, although it was reported as “unchanged” at the headline level.”
“The White House and the Congress have pushed the planned second day-of-reckoning further into the future by another two months.”
The American people need the truth and facts on a timely basis. They are ultimately called on to pay for the reality of the economic chaos ahead. Politicians are gambling with the future generations’ opportunities and well being. Our Heavenly Father is the only One with a solution to the deepening economic chaos ahead. The complexities that surround the economic picture are beyond the comprehension of the average voter and taxpayer. Self interest defines the current path to destruction. How can businessmen truly plan their future with all of the economic uncertainty out there? There is only one way. Be still, do only what Our Heavenly Father tells you to do. Resist the temptation to do projects for the sake of staying busy. We MUST hear Our Heavenly Father’s voice!
