I do some commentary for radio and tv. It is amazing to me how “reporters” know little or nothing about economics. I was on a national radio program Friday, and the person reporting the stats obviously colored it for Dems. Kept raving how the unemployment rate was up .5%. Of course, when you actually look at the numbers it’s seasonal. More teens looking for jobs-school is out DUH.
I am a Republican, but I try to be party neutral in commentary. It is an economic fact that taxes slow economies. It is an economic fact that government solutions to things are not as efficient as free market solutions. It is an economic fact that governments cannot invest, they SPEND.
Reporters need to take a good microeconomics course.
