People assume these stats are raw numbers-- they aren't, they are "adjusted" (AKA fudged, molded, extrapolated and given the ol' SWAG). Expect a "smoothing" of the numbers in 30, 60 & 90 days. Now back to the end of life as we know it.

I for one however agree with most talk show radio hosts and think this is a partisan issue and if you think the economy is bad or getting worse it is because you are a doom and gloom Democrat and if you think ecomony is great and getting better everday it is because you are a patriotic Republican...could there be any other explanation?
