Ezra Klein, WaPo "Economics" Putz for Whom Math is Hard
Question. Who is Klein's WaPo Silver Daddy that he can keep sucking down paychecks?
"Another month, another grim jobs report. We lot [sic] 54,000 jobs in August. Most of those -- in fact, 114,000 of them -- were expiring census jobs." -- Ezra Klein - August jobs report: 54,000 jobs lost; unemployment rate hits 9.6 percent

Comrade, you have not been attending your Obamanomics lessons. 114,000 census jobs lost IS less than 54,000 real jobs lost! Why? Because an inconvenient job loss for Obama is the same as an undocumented Democratic voter - there when you need it for the vote or the "jobs created or saved" numbers, but not there when you must account for the welfare spending or "jobs lost" lists.
Try to keep up with the current truth, hey?

"Try to keep up with the current truth, hey?"
Yes - do try. You know... the immutable truth of the nine-point-something unemployment rate, for instance. Who says the Left doesn't believe in absolute truths?
