The Economy and Employment
Ok so Republicans state the economy is getting worse as well as the unemployment rate.
Democrats say this isn't so. How do you get the truth regarding the economy and our current unemployment rate?
Is there an unbiased site in which one can find out the black and white?
Re: The Economy and Employment
I really don't understand why both sides distort the facts so.
I do have the hardest time trying to two telll fact from fiction.
There oughta be a law I tell ya!
Hope someone smarter than I has an answer.
Seriously!! Honesty what a concept lol
Nope. Not that I have found. It is so f-in frustrating.
Grrrr!!

I pull my economy 'data" from how if affects me personally which is also pretty biased. lol.
The construction industry is pretty sensitive and is usually the first to upswing. People see they will have cash on hand in a year or so and then they decide to start planning a building..the zoning process starts, they get the local goverment and permitting on board etc etc. That process is usually happening 9-12 months before a shovel ever hits the dirt.
I really like http://www.factcheck.org/.
I would like know how others feel about this site. I have found it to be very fair and unbiased.
I like that site too.
Also this one:
http://www.politifact.com/truth-o-meter/
They seem to be as unbiased as they come on the Internet.
