The new Congress should investigate the compilation of these ‘statistics’ for the last 6 years. Or do they want to keep up the lies and distortions for their own use?........................
More than likely.
I fully expected the market tank WED morning—The Wall Street recipients of Obama’s QE largesse trying to taint the GOP wave.
As it is, the Pubs will probably play along with the scam so as to avoid being accused of crashing the economy (which really, really bites, BTW).
After hearing the same complaints for the last 40 years or so, and there being no finding of manipulation of these statistics in all that time, and, in fact, not even any momentum for an investigation by those in the know, I have to suspect that those figures are probably not being manipulated. Why must we always claim that statistics we don’t like are being manipulated? Will we say the same when a Republican is in office? Let’s not be two faced like the Dems.
The fact is, these statistics do not show the greatness of Obama, or even a minimal competence on his part. What they show is that the greatest economic engine in the world, powered by free enterprise, can overcome the incompetence of even the dumbest politician. It can be slowed, and it was, but it has come through once again.
