GWR,
It seems almost certain that someone is misleading people about the job numbers in the US. But, it is far from clear to me, which side is doing it! And there are ways to spin similar numbers, so it's hard to tell.
To me, the guy who is now a regular on KWN who was a former asst. Treasury secretary says things that make me doubt him. He sounds too far out for my money, although he speaks calmly and not like a ranting fool.
