Have you seen this editorial from persecuted minority Jack Welch?
Jack Welch claimed last Friday that the unemployment rate dropping to 7.8% one month before the election is a work of the “Chicago boys”. Today he doubles down on the preposterous claim. He first compares himself to the truth-teller in Soviet Russia and Communist China, as if this kind of dissent in those countries would land him to the pages of WSJ. Then he proceeds to show that such unemployment number can be a subject to the statistical noise – clearly a conspiracy theory! Have those guys heard of coincidence or margin of error or imperfect data? And if it is a conspiracy how do they imagined this happened? Rahm Emanuel called BLS and made them do Obama’s bidding? All involved people gather in one room, so to avoid email trace or speak in codes? Force all of them sign confidentiality agreement or just give a verbal pledge not to disclose anything? But what if there were some Republicans among those employees – what’s his contingecy plan for dealing with certain leakage from those guys? Did he conduct a background study on all those employees, from data entry to the decision makers? How, please tell me how, from logistical perspective was it done? I’d really like to know. And if they really can pull something like this off – why would then the cries of the inept government? What a buffoon Jack Welch is.
Come senators, Congressmen
Please heed the call
Don’t block at the doorway
Don’t block up the hall…
As the present now
Will later be past
The order is
Rapidly fadin’
And the first one now
Will later be last
For the times they are a-changin’
The Times They Are A-changin’ – Bob Dylan
I’m going to see Dylan with Mark Knopfler in November!
