If you use more recent participation rate the unemployment rate INCREASED to 11.5%. This corresponds with all the data not a DROP from 8.5% to 8.3%.
Either way you calculate it the federal government has decided they do not want Mitt Romney cutting their budgets and the propaganda war is on. Look for this bogus data to continue through election day.

The M2 velocity is at the lowest it has been since records have been available dating back to 1959.
Translated there is a whole lot of money in the system sitting idle, doing nothing. Obama is the all time king of killing a nations appetite for spending. The ultimate buzz kill in the history of mankind.

I am not a fan of this two-party system where your personal beliefs have to be compromised to one party platform or the other based on the lesser of two evils.
I am reminded of my own words of how Congress has become entrenched and regardless of party they are more concerned with the power and the prestige of office then in service to their country.

I remember the instant that the mood changed.
As my lens focused beyond the Washington Monument and upon the Capital Dome I recognized that I no longer felt proud of this city. I was embarrassed that under that dome sat men and women who first thought of themselves before they thought of their nation.

My friends, the solution to our nation’s health care cannot be found in the acts of politicians or in the visions of experts. It is rather found in the moral compass provided to us by our Creator and in the unyielding pledge that each and everyone of us is committed, as individuals, to a reality that is bigger than ourselves.
It strikes me that this is the vision that will not only fix our health care woes, but restore our nation…

The PTC has allowed the wind industry to grow providing 75,000 jobs in 42 states including right here in Central Florida.
The cost of generation for wind has been reduced to about 5 cents per kilowatt hour and it is headed lower as volume increases. But, it is still a few cents higher than the more traditional methods at this point.

The American dream is comatose, if not dead, thanks entirely to government that sucks the blood out of its citizens, i.e. the vampire state.
For the first time ever, Americans believe the next generation will be worse off. In 1962 single-income families like Steve and Sandy were the norm; it was rare indeed for a married woman, especially one with children, to work outside the home.
In the original inception countries were suppose to keep debt under 60% of GDP and no more than 3% per year. The PIIGS simply could not control themselves and loaded up on debt.
People need to understand that politicians are just as greedy as capitalist. When you put a pile of money in front of them they will consume the money to buy votes and pay off constituents.

So you think you’re free? Thanks to big government spending and exploding debt, the United States — and indeed the world — is less economically free today than it was a year ago, according to the 18th annual Index of Economic Freedom, released yesterday by The Heritage Foundation and The Wall Street Journal.
Economic freedom — the ability of individuals to control the fruits of their labor and pursue their dreams — is central to prosperity around the world….

Washington, D.C. – U.S. Senator Marco Rubio released the following statement regarding President Obama’s formal request to raise the debt ceiling:
“This request is the sixth time in his Presidency the debt ceiling could be raised. His three year spending binge has added over $4.5 trillion to our debt making our economy smaller than our debt for the first time in history…

Our founders deliberately did not establish a democracy, because in that form of government, the majority would always choke to death the desire for Liberty of a minority. Yet another point that Mrs. Ginsberg might be wise to share with Egypt instead of encouraging them to strive “to achieve a general democracy…”
The dichotomy of her praise and criticism of our founders and our Constitution shows that she is greatly misinformed of both…

Good bye Presidential hoopla we’ll see you in August.
But for now, let’s turn our thoughts to more pressing problems for Florida and the nation. Fasten your seat belts folks; it’s going to be a bumpy ride.
This won’t be a Tea Party vs the Establishment event, that’s just so 2010. No, this is a showcase for Agenders, Fair Taxers, Occupiers (well they don’t really vote do they”), and GOOOH’ers…

So after three years of toil by thousands of average everyday citizens who’ve sacrificed far more than they ever cared to, Florida supports John McCain yet again, just in a prettier package.
And just as in 2008, Florida will be the impetus that thrusts this better wrapped version identified as Mitt Romney one step closer to an eventual match up with Barack Obama.
There will be plenty of coverage breaking down the final numbers…
