        If you have to tell people how great the economy is, it’s not that great.

      Translation: you pulled that from your ass. There is no evidence of manipulation of the indicators and those the Gov. is using match those of the business community.

        You know the CPI calculations and fields reported change freuqently right? Started back in 1981, when CDOs started getting big and housing prices had a huge jump without ever coming back down

        The CPI is regularly manipulated with hedonistic adjustments.
