Limbaugh: 5.9 Percent Unemployment Rate Is ‘Illegitimate’
As we have seen time after time, conservatives are truly anguished by good news. They threw a hissy fit when Osama bin Laden was killed. And now that the unemployment rate has fallen to 5.9%, they’re foaming at the mouth again. Is the economy really improving with Obama in the White House? Rush Limbaugh is having none of it.
Limbaugh doesn’t believe the unemployment rate dipped below 8% in 2012. He told his radio audience today that the current 5.9% rate is as illegitimate as the 2012 figure. “This today is just as illegitimate. This 5.9% number is even more illegitimate than the 7.9% number. There’s no way that this country has an economy producing jobs with an unemployment rate of 5.9%. It just isn’t happening . . . It isn’t real.”

So OxyContin rush our economy isn’t better off…..to you there is no difference between the 2,2 million jobs lost the last three months of 2008 verses the 700,000 jobs added the last three month.

The improved unemployment rate is due in part to the reduction in the labor force participation rate which is at it’s lowest level since early 1978.

That would explain this as well… N
“The four states that have the lowest unemployment rates are all led by
GOP Governors: North Dakota = 2.8%; South Dakota = 3.6%; Utah = 3.6%;
and Nebraska = 3.6”

I hope he keeps flapping his big fat drug numbed jowls. As long as the GOP keeps identifying with pigboy, it’s all good news for the dems. Limbaugh helped get Obama elected twice.

He only doesn’t believe it because the gopee isn’t fudging the figures.

I’m seeing lots of demand for workers right now. Anybody can verify this by a check the wanted ads. Limbaugh is a bold liar.
