Government Statistics: Perfecting the Art of Mass Deception [View article]
The bottom line is we can have no rational policy if we start with false data. Social Security is indexed to cpi; since demographics can't be fudged, the cpi must be manipulated to slow down the increase in benefits. Whichever candidate gets elected is going to be forced to deliver sweat, tears, and higher taxes along with some very unpopular spending cuts.
