All Commies Lie. It is the only way they stay in power.
Newspeak ... beware the revisions — LOL
Newspeak, the language of Oceania, one of the three large superstates, run by the Ingsoc Party(English Socialism). In America, we watch big brother, in Oceania, big brother watches you.
Ingsoc is stated to have originated following a socialist revolution, but as The Party is constantly rewriting history it is impossible to tell precisely how it occurred. It is known, however, that Oceania was established following the merger of the Americas with the British Empire. Big Brother and Emmanuel Goldstein were said to have led this revolution, with Goldstein eventually changing sides and turning against Big Brother. In addition to rewriting history, The Party is also constantly rewriting the language to restrict the true meanings of words and the ideas behind them, hence, “English Socialism” became the shorter and more esoteric “Ingsoc.”
Gearge Orwell, the futurist?
news! How did the media cover this?
That’s a lot of math, but try this: 6.4-5.5=0.9+1.0=1.9
Even taking their numbers at face value, I considered the report to be VERY bad news. I am getting really tired of the media reporting Bad news that is not as bad as they expected to be, therefore, good news.
I’ve seen this from time to time over the last couple of years. It is comical.
My attitude is in my tagline.
That makes better sense than this continuing spin that things are improving.
Anyone who is out and about can just “feel’ much less observe that things are really bad.

Q. The president's progress with the battered economy has been both praised and criticized. How well are his efforts measuring up with you?
Extremely well. We are undoubtedly moving in the right direction. 14%
Fairly well. There's still a long way to go. 9%
Not well at all. His plans are hurting more than helping. 76%
Not sure/No opinion. 2%
Thanks for posting.
What a surprise - DC manipulating stats for political gain. The problem is, most people buy this bs including a lot of the MSM.
Essentially accurate.
The expectations WERE for a -1.5% figure today.
These were not reached due to improvement in inventory and other items, due to the revision of the 1Q figures down by -0.9%. I won’t have a chance to go through specifics until this evening.
!@#$%^&*()_+
Thanks. I knew it had been manipulated, but hadn’t time to figure it out yet.
Thanks for a great analysis. Don’t forget that all of the money for Fannie Mae/Freddie Mac, the auto industry, banks, and the stimulus are counted toward the GDP. This has the effect of artifically raising the GDP.
BUMP for great freeping.
Nice work.
