carmen510: Its good to know that you trust analysis and figures from shadowstats.com THAT AREN'T CITED WHATSOEVER. If you're going to claim that the US government is deliberately manipulating economic figures, you're going to need the data to back that up. If you don't, then nobody who has ever studied economics, history, or the social sciences should ever believe what you have to say. Unsubstantiated rumors and information are not becoming of people who claim that the US government lies.
slash11: Well i have studied economics and im for example well aware of the methods how to manipulate inflation data. And it would be nice to know what methods can be used to deliberately manipulate inflation data that could pass the eyes of other economists.
