The thing is, Jack Welch's wild claim about the BLS numbers, are absolutely in the same vain as Gingrich citing some anonymous business people who say they don't intend to hire if Obama is re-elected.
What we are seeing is the ramifications of adopting a Machiavellian, Ayn Randian, Aleister Crowley, Anton LaVey approach to the world. When you abandon an ethical, moral approach to leading a nation ... be it as an elected official or business leader ... in favor of Crowley's motto of "Do What Thou Wilt Shall Be the Whole of the Law" ... the result is the evaporation of the foundation of trust required to sustain civil society. Government Officials, Business Leaders, as well as Journalists and Religious Leaders have been eating the seed corn of trust in this nation for decades for selfish reasons, and the ultimate result of showing zero responsibility defending the core institutions, which empower them, from being corrupted in the people's eye has resulted in the people not trusting anything.
I like Chuck Todd but let's be clear here ... even in his industry, the Fourth Estate of Journalism ... telling the truth, and calling out lies isn't done with moral or ethical consistency ... so the world of Conspiracy Theory is perfectly acceptable when abandoning truth has become a simple convenience of craft, despite the attending erosion of a trust in core institutions.
Who trusts Government, Business, Religion, or Journalism? Not I.
