Is the Faux network Mittens' tax preparer? (They say 8.3 = 15)
In "reporting" the unemployment figures, they had a graphic with official looking two step formulae. See, "unemployment" doesn't mean "unemployment." You have to, just have to, factor in all of those people who are working parttime, who are underemployed, who are working just to work at anything because they have to, and dadnabbit all those people who are just plain UNHAPPY with their jobs.
And that's how Faux decided that 8.3 is not 8.3, and is really 15.
But for Mittens' taxes, Faux would reverse the formula to arrive at *smaller* percentages.
