Chic,

BLS data gets bought hook line and sinker

I think that most people have more than a fair share of skepticism in pre-election statistics. But in normal times, I think BLS data should be considered even if it's not perfect.

Suppose you have a thermometer that displays the temperature 5 degrees higher than reality. In absence of a good thermometer, even this bad one is a useful tool, as long as it's consistent.
