“The 65th upward revision in 66 weeks.”

A scandal that begs to be investigated. BLS officials need to be summoned to the Hill to explain why the revisions are always conveniently to the upside. Taxpayers are paying for this outrageous ledgerdemain.

What are the chances that they haven’t been cooking the books every week?

Well, if the odds of being over or under are 50% in each instance, the odds they aren’t cooking the books are:

0.000000000000000002710%

Which means the odds that the books are cooked are:

99.9999999999999999997390%
