It's All In The Numbers Right?

  I will admit I have never been very gifted in the area of math. I have a friend however,  who is a genius in the mathematics field. He is so gifted that  NASA,  wanted him to work for them. My friend says, you can make numbers say,  almost anything you want them to it just depends on how the numbers are presented and which way the numbers are skewed. I was surprised to learn that in one area of math,  under certain circumstances,  two plus two doesn't equal four. The point is,  my buddy said,  you can make statistics say,  anything you want them to. I will admit, I never fully, trust our government when they give us the numbers on anything.
  I heard on the news today that the unemployment rate was now eight point one percent and that 115,000 jobs were added  across the nation for the month of April. That sounds real  good but wait a minute, over 500,00 people  have left the work force, last month. and if you add the folks who are underemployed or work on a part time basis some have suggested,  the true unemployment rate would  be closer to sixteen point seven percent. The point is, the government,  will always slant the numbers to their own particular political advantage. I have no doubt, all things being equal, that the unemployment rate will be under eight percent by election day in November. I believe this because the government,  can make the unemployment numbers say anything they want them to and all Obama has to do is have unemployment at seven point nine percent  by the middle of October, so he can say,  he finally has unemployment below eight percent.
  No matter what the real unemployment number is,  there is really,  only one number that is going to matter on election day, if more Americans,  like Obama's socialist approach to government if most Americans, have become  accustomed to the idea of a nanny state that gives you every thing for free  than Obama, will win reelection. I hope most Americans, will choose to work for what we want and  reestablish the idea of working for the American dream, this I feel falls under the pursuit of happiness phase  in the constitution. One thing is for sure,  if Obama, gets reelected and all things remain unchanged as far as his policies and philosophy of government are concerned then, in a very short time their will be no money for any one for any thing and the number of poor or elderly or disabled people we will be able to help will be very easy to keep track of because that number will be zero just like the letter O in Obama, As always, my friends, these thoughts remain just, some words, to think on.
