Gov and its mob of looter voters intrudes all the time. The analogy is a perfect one. Gov is just a security force created by the people. The threat of that force is that it is captured for the purposes of theft. This is exactly what has happened. You are taxed to pay for the gov to protect you from theft. You don't pay taxes for the gov to steal from you via a popular vote where 51% get to vote away the rights of the 49%.

MI's comments are definitely prototypical of how people can be brought up with a frame of reference where they are able to call good evil and evil good. We all like to think that we would never fall for state propaganda, but given the right set of circumstances you can create an enduring tyranny by creating the right frame of reference. So if done right, you can get people to accept the religion of state, which is the opiate of the masses.

Lyman J Gage promised that the creation of the Fed Res would end bubbles. He and LM Shaw went on to attempt to use the US Treas mimic a Fed Res. What followed was the Panic of 1907. It is also interesting to note the Fed has never predicted a recession, yet they have happened anyway.
Since MI represents the self proclaimed intellectual elite. I will let MI tell everyone who Gage and Shaw were. We await the Google results.

"economist showed a shrinking GDP like they did in the recession, they would all be out of control and without jobs."
If there was really a measurement of the economy performed by gov, that measurement would have all the gov moochers out of their jobs a long time ago. Instead they've been able to steal fortune upon fortune doing nothing but wasting people's time with things that could be done far better and far cheaper without having to use guns to stay in power.
Shadowstats doesn't put people in jail or shoot them for not using their products. Gov imprisons and kills people when they try to stop using their products. Stop paying your income taxes and see what happens to you. Which is ironic, because you supposed "enlightened" ones monopolized the money medium for a monetary system where income taxes don't fund the gov, yet you run around like chickens with your feathers on fire crying about the lack of expropriation taxes not funding the gov.
So, I guess the only question for you is, have you ever thought logically about your comments, or are you just parroting the talking points from MSNBC or maybe the BEA?

Well they said themselves they designed it to show how successful they were. The only way to prove it would be to go back in time and rerun without their control. Since that can never happen, all we can do is use reason to determine if they are really alltruistic beings with no concern for their well being and only concerned with others well being and have the knowledge to act in other's well being without any incentives whatsoever to do so.
What's more interesting is your distrust of people acting in voluntary cooperation without the ability to control one another which provides some incentive to be as honest as they know how to be regarding what they understand the facts to be, and your complete trust of people with every incentive to lie, make mistakes, and lie about making mistakes.
I am ready to conclude based on reason that completely relying on their numbers when they have so many conflicts of interests is something only a sucker would do.

It can be.
Think about it. Why do we want auditors for financial statements? We reasonably conclude that management has incentives for a conflict of interest, thus we worry they will bias the numbers.
If you advocate for a political philosophy that says people in gov can produce better results by having control over your life, then they design a measurement tool to see how they are doing, what chance do you think is there that these guys are going to design a tool that will allow them the flexibility to say, "see its working, I am doing better than you could if I didn't have control over you. So don't pay attention to your real circumstances, or that my circumstances are getting much better than yours, just look at the measurement tool I have provided and ignore everything else."
Their natural tendency is going to be to design measurement tools that can always be contrived to show what a success they are, so they can keep getting richer while everyone else gets poorer.

Or better yet, we can not talk about the changes that occur, and just assume it is an apples to apples comparison, and say, "see GDP went up, so it looks like socialism is finally going to work". After all, the only way to make the populace think tyranny is better for them is to adjust the measurements to create that outcome.
