I have been reading Spin Masters: How the Media Ignored the Real News and Helped Reelect Barack Obama by David Freddoso. For those of you who are news junkies there isn't that much that is new, except in the details. It does present insights you may not have been aware of. This issue of employment, spending, and media coverage is discussed at length. The book is an easy and insightful read. I would put it on my recommended list. At any rate....here are some un-moderated facts.
1. 3.6 Percent Unemployment--for Government Workers
2. Record 89,967,000 Not in Labor Force; Another 663,000 Drop Out In March
3. Black, Latino Unemployment Falls as Thousands of Minorities Leave Labor Force
4. 8,853,614: Americans on Disability Hits Another Record; Exceeds 3x Population of Chicago
5. Sequester Day 1: $70,000 Gov’t Grant to Send 20 Researchers to Manufacturing Workshop in South Korea
6. Obama seeks deal, proposes cuts to Social Security
7. Federal Govt. Spends $2.1 Million to Study 'What Animals Really Think'
