How can anyone believe any numbers coming out of this government?
They already admitted they messed with the unemployment numbers to skew the election.
The real mystery is why they didn't claim that the economy grew by 32%. Then two weeks later they could quietly issue a statement saying it might have been 3.2 and not 32.
Reminds me of that youtube video where this guy bought every single share of a company to make the point that there are counterfeit shares of companies out there. Sure enough, when he had accumulated the number of shares the company said there were in existence, people were still buying and selling shares on the stock exchange.
Our system is so broken that it takes a slap in the face for people to grasp just how broken it is. Once faith runs out it is done.
