I understand the use of ideology in maintaining political power. Your emphasis on the lies in RECENT months now makes me think that you see BLS as supportive of the Obama agenda. Even non-partisan bureaucrats may feel political pressure from regimes they don't like and lie a bit to please the powers that be. So BLS will fudge a little for Bush but go all out for Obama. I wanted to know why you think BLS is complicit in the administration's political spinning. It's not because they serve the fuhrer whoever he is but because they share the Obama agenda, and that accounts for the recent escalation in whoppers. That's possible. The State Department under Bush seemed to follow a "diplomacy" agenda to the point of undermining their boss's policy, so "non-partisan" agencies can have political agendas. I just wanted to be clear on whose agenda we are talking about. Some of your readers took you to be anti-government-- others, anti-Obama.]]> Sat, 06 Jun 2009 00:12:46 -0400 Thanks for your response, but no, I wasn't asking why lying about unemployment is important.
