BGR:

"Lie" isn't nearly strong enough language to use when it comes to that damnable "chained dollar" BS that your government boys have been trying to pass off as GDP numbers. GDP is a very basic building block within everybody's economic equation, and this completely bogus fabrication should (but won't) land its proponents in jail. Let's call it what it is,..... an outright fraud.

Best, Earlie
