the david letterman show dataset dot com
okay let's be honest the latest dot before was not great about a hundred and
fifteen thousand new jobs were created
the uh... amount we need just to keep up with the growth of the population is
ninety thousand really only about twenty five thousand jobs above and beyond that
we have to put this in context though because how mit romney is using this for
political gain
should give everybody the chills lewis it really should
everything miranti does disney shows
the there's a few things to to discuss your number one is that mit romney used
to have a his indicator for weather
uh... unemployment is doing better or worse was that it should be really
approaching in getting below eight percent now about a year ago it wasn't
clear that that was really going to happen now we have dropped out of the
unemployment rate to eight point one percent
now mit romney is changing that barometer he says listen a lot for
closing in on four percent unemployment this is really nothing for president
obama to cheer about
either stand only i want to be completely clear with you because i know
it emails about this
a lot of the reason the unemployment rate has gone down is because as
people's unemployment benefits expire and they drop out of these the regularly
filing unemployment
uh...
unemployment benefits uh... list they essentially are no longer considered to
be looking for a job so it's not that that they found jobs the number of
unemployed people total
as uh... gone op if you look at uh... people not in the workforce that being
said though this is mit romney zone barometer and he knows unemployment was
measured the exact same way for really long time so this is this is kind of a
pathetic moved from ron you say well
four percent is really where we should be police prophetic dot
it would be nice if we had a way to uh...
tino exactly uh... with the exact number of actual unemployed people are but i
mean you can't really do that unless you have some type of census no we we do
have estimates of it right now in the midst ever going to be honest one of the
good things ron paul does do is talk about that actual real number i forget
what it was that uh... at recent count that the other bridie coolest thing
we're seeing for romney is he saying we should be
creating and he would create five hundred thousand jobs per month
if we look at that number
that's happy hypocritical will get to that
in the last fifteen years we have only had five months where we created five
hundred thousand jobs uh... one of them was under clinton there was one under
reagan and don't have the other three in front of me so this mit romney to
suggest that must be living in a fantasy world
i guess the same day the fantasy world where his dog shame is ronnie liked
riding on the roof of the car right but a similar now the great lakes
