Who is to say that “Curveball” isn’t providing the Economic Data?
The same people who stood truth, about Iraq, on its head is now wanting us to buy their good economic news.

The question that begs an answer is; if they would manipulate the truth in order to squander our most precious resource, human lives, then why would they not do the same to economic data?

1. No doubt about it
They'll lie about anything. Can your think of one important issue they haven't lied about?

4. One big stat that is skewed is the unemployment rate. It doesn't take into
account the amount of people who fell off the unemployment rolls because their benefits ran out. It also doesn't take into account all of the people who had to take huge cuts in income when taking a new job.
