"Lies my Father Told Me" the name of a Jewish play, may actively depict the information concerning the economy substituting the word Father with government.

Despite a composite of glowing stories of the rally on Wall Street, the coming legislation to extend the unemployment benefits, and a rosy job picture - It ain't so -- none of it.

The job situation boils down to people out of work with fewer jobs and bleaker opportunities as the New Year begins. The real situation at the end of 2013 was bad.

2013 ends with weakest job growth in years

Efforts to blast a happy-happy-joy-joy spin in most areas including Wall Street are not going to fly versus several hard hit groups.  The War on Poverty, despite its recent 20 year anniversary (actually which has continued for thousands of years and no end is in sight)  the one given the least attention and funding is being lost.

"Let's not panic," said Heidi Hartmann, president of the Institute for Women's Policy Research, adding that "it's not a horrible year, all things considered."

The government also noted that "unusually cold weather in parts of the country" could have had some impact on construction jobs for example. That sector lost 16,000 jobs in December.

If it looks like a duck and walks/quack/flies etc. like a duck, it is a duck.  (humorous)

comment: It is the real effect of numerous historic and legendary fabrications concerning health care, prosperity, and faith of the American people in their leadership as well as faith of the world community in the United States, that matters; not the constant spin doctors on CNN and several other areas of the mainstream media pronouncing a dying economy in good health.

We, as a nation, have been subjected to a trend which personifies  the age old Pinocchio story with a predominance of growing noses on the floor of the House and Senate and news briefings with Pollyanna predictions in an Orwellian society.

With perhaps some of the best educated and worst educated people in history in the U.S., we have a nation who silently watches a naked emperor and are afraid to say so. The sage advice of some to Medclinician, "We already know this..."; do any have the ability to make a difference versus stating  the obvious truth?

Does this effect our ability to prepare as the Flu continues to spread with lack luster tracking and definitive numbers that hides the real situation in a shroud of Machiavellian design?

Yes, it does. Never has have the infowars raged so furiously to create polls which are meaningless to advance some of the most ludicrous correlations of data by a few thousand versus 300,000,000 people who have minds, voices, and lives which need to looked at and efforts made to provide assistance and solutions.

Conclusion: There will be change and there will be accountability despite Herculean efforts to elude the spotlight of truth and a growing awareness of the violation of the U.S. Constitution and reverberating unrest by a public in shock as to the size and scope of the actual events and policies in place for more than a decade.

A second and perhaps more relevant factor is the baseline evaluation and question "Are Americans happy?" Life, liberty, and the pursuit of happiness is one of the core elements of a successful and productive America. It was the foundation on which it was founded and if this sufficiently erodes, we will not be a shining star of Democracy to other nations pondering our system of government which once made us the richest, most prosperous, and powerful nation in the world.

It is time to get back to basics.  We are much more in need of a new car than a legion of mechanics who have left a vast field of sputtering vehicles which may be lucky to make it a mile without breaking down.

It is nearing the end of discussion and a time for a series of working plans and actions to fix what appears for the moment, unfixable.

When the best in the educational field and advisers at the the highest levels cannot come up with feasible and workable plans - perhaps it is time to listen to something that is increasingly ignored without fear and given no credence to be listened to or heard ---

The voice of the American people.

Dear Mr Medclinician 2013
After reading your post it sadden me say I agree with you 100%.They are lying to us about the economy and its not going to get any better. At least not till after it crashes.It scares me to think about what will come after the crash.There is no way to fix it now.
Mr What A Joke
This is the last and only time I'll respond to anything you have to say thats because I don't like you.I think you work for the government or something worse.This is the only time I have ever
got in any bodys face and I hope its the last time no it is the last time.You really tick me off turkey.

What good is the government of the people if they aren't honest and have integrity?
