Wall Street Claims Ignorance

``The government propaganda minions in the financial media have done it again this week, claiming that the flattening trend of new unemployment claims is a sign that the economy is improving. Are they too stupid or too clever to report the real reason that claims are coming down? That is that if millions fewer people are working, then fewer people can claim unemployment compensation. Maybe the real question should be whether the trend of claims as a percentage of those eligible is improving. The answer is that it is not.''
