Reply #44: Well, that's very convenient for you [View All]

when you know the only numbers we have to work from are the one's the government is giving us. All I have to go on is what is reported to me day in and day out on newscasts. The same newscasts who now are willing to report that we're NOT in a recession have been telling me for week upon week that the housing market is at it's worst since the Great Depression, that layoff and outsourcing are at record numbers, that food and fuel prices are soaring through the roof.

Sorry, it's all I have to go on to refute a report issued by the same government that tells me tax cuts for the 1% benefit me, that Iraq had WMD, that Scooter Libby and George Tenet are patriots, that 50,000 jobs indicates "growth." Sometimes you simply have to apply common sense to the equation, too, especially when a notorious bald-faced liar is feeding you the numbers.
