A most convenient measuring stick. One without absolutes. Ideal for the politician.

Want to look good in a press conference? Just tell 'em we saved 150,000 jobs. How the hell are they going to know? The media loves us, few will question it. And if Fox News decides it will raise the question, we don't even have to respond. All the other media, who are on our side, will just nod their heads in agreement.

If anyone asks, "How do you know you created 150,000 new jobs?", "it isn't necessary to tell them that our own economic 'advisers' came up with the number". No basis whatsoever. Just pitch it out there.

We are accountable to no one. Lies, lies, more lies. It doesn't matter.
