re: #499 Walter L. Newton

Why do you say harder? It seems to me that they are pulling figures out of their butt about once a week, and no one is questioning the figures, at least no one in the mass media.

I read the article, and no where in the article is any comments about the validity of the figures and projections. It’s just seems to be accepted.

It’s appears that the butt trick works fine.

There are plenty of ways they massage the numbers, anyway.

For example, I don’t count as being unemployed in their figures, but I am.
