[THE-BEAKER]

Included in the employment count was a make-believe 118,000 jobs that were supposedly created by newly formed companies.

THIS IS A BIG ASSUMPTION IN LIGHT OF THE SUB PRIME CONCERNS AT THE MOMENT.

There must have been a cartload of small companies gone under on the back of the subprime problem and the BLS is factoring in job gains. It defies common sense.

Damnit, Kudlow is right. Open your eyes!!!!
