If we are being lied to ...

Does anyone not believe we are being lied to by our leaders public and private?

The Consumer Price Index as "the"inflation measure has been "adjusted". Unemployment stats are so far off the mark as to be laughable.

Our political candidates openly pander to us.

And maybe the worst lie of all is that all we have to do to turn the economy around is buy more stuff. Go shopping!

Is that crazy or what? How are we going to pay for it?

Oh right, the global financial wizards/gurus will invent new instruments of debt so we can borrow what we need to be able to buy what we want.

Need I tell you, this is crazy.
