Les, I know the govt. has to revise numbers as the real world changes. But when they revise a couple of dozen numbers and every one of them gives "the economy is better than previous method" results, you have to figure they are scamming the igneurotic. I remember them doing this sort of thing in Orwell's books. <g> Just the odds say that some revisions to calculating methods would produce results that are not as positive as previous methods.
