Things Aren't as Bad as They Seem - Barron's

Hey, the unemployment statistics and the "CPI" numbers are FAKE. These criminals lied about WMD to cause a war and killed thousands as a result, you don't think the same scum haven't been faking their economic stats for decades? These are the same lying thieves who have stolen trillions of dollars on the real estate bubble, war profiteering, and strongarm blackmail banking bailouts.

Basing economic analysis on government statistics is like trusting a mafia-operated slot machine. Actually, the mafia probably has a more reliable code of ethics.
