More phony numbers....Does ANYONE believe ANYTHING these A-Holes say???
The sub-human filth known as the American voter is pretty much on board all the time for any reason whatsoever and will only vote for more.
We can't believe a damn thing our government tells us. Constant distortions, outright lies, propaganda, legal double speak.
These people are out of control.
Figures don’t lie....but liars can figure.
And by changing the goalposts, almost any objective can be achieved.
If the kind of reporting that was used a mere six years ago were to be re-instituted, the real rate would be at Great Depression levels - 15% to 20% or more.
And our real growth in GDP would be negative.
Nothing the Current Regime squatting in the White Hut is doing even touches upon any kind of solution to this dilemma. In fact, almost everything they are doing right now is exacerbating an already bad situation. Quantitative easing, imposing the draconian rules of the “Patient Protection and Affordable Care Act of 2010”, commonly called “Obamacare”, the constraints on industrial and commercial expansion by excessive and arbitrary application of environmental regulation not justified by any cost-benefit ratio determination, and the obsessive eavesdropping on phone and internet messages by highly secretive and probably malevolent control freaks for all the wrong reasons, add up to what in another era would be called a tyrannical rule. Most of these new impositions upon what was once among the freest of nations on the planet are by extralegal means, with a total disregard for precedent and rule of law, and constant re-interpretations of what was claimed to be the “truth” only a very short while ago.
