"John Williams’ Shadow Government Statistics" is an electronic newsletter service that exposes and analyzes flaws in current U.S. government economic data and reporting, as well as in certain private-sector numbers, and provides an assessment of underlying economic and financial conditions, net of financial-market and political hype.

Eighty eight million people out of work, and the illegals are "doing the jobs Americans just won't do anymore," amazing. We're going bankrupt and we continue to pay able bodied people to sit around and do nothing. The country has lost it's mind.

That stat seems wrong; that would be 27% of the population...considering that half of the population isn't labor force (children, elderly), then that means 53% of the workforce is out of work ??????????????

Help please.

Romney should hire them to blog for him.

Somebody has to get those lazy old people and children to work. Damn it, where is Foxconn when you need it!
