The spike is headed almost straight up before Obama won the election and the fudging is clearly by SGS.The RISE starts with the housing bubble popping and the beginning of MANY bad economic decisions in early 2008. The rise is gradual but strong. But note the real increases fall after Obama's election.The spike starts up with the beginning of the Bush Depression, Dec 2007. Obama had not even won the nomination yet, let alone the presidency! It levels off after he takes office.I'll point out the same thing I did the last time you pulled this graph.
"Strange... the spike doesn't REALLy start till after Obama's election in late 2008."
and why is the blue line RISING while the grey and red line are falling after Obama's in office? When you look at it before P-BO, the blue line always mirrored the other two almost exactly.
Hmmmmmm... interesting.
Then while the U6 and U3 are shown as dropping, the SGS continues to rise conflicting with all other data from previous years. So, what's wrong here? Someone's fudging data is the most likely cause.
