BBC on new German jobless numbers:
"Under the (German) government's controversial "Hartz IV" reforms, which came into effect at the beginning of the year, both those on unemployment benefits and welfare support and those who are long-term unemployed are officially classified as looking for work."
WHAT WOULD US UNEMPLOYMENT BE BY THIS WAY OF COUNTING?
Perhaps,........13% or MORE!
Statistics are just a form of lying.........and Washington does it better than anyone in the world!
