We need to ask ourselves whether these might be...
1. Lies agreed upon in advance on order to put "lipstick" on the budget, hoping to con people into economic activity (conspiracy?), or/and...
2. Lies that they have re-told so often amongst themselves that they actually believe them (groupthink?, hysteria?)
Nonetheless, then the alleged "revenue" projections fall tragically short, watch for the "unexpected" and "unanticipated" adjectives on the headlines (which will complete the lies).
It’s all lipstick and smoke & mirrors:
