<<clever - but explain what you mean - giving an example?>> d, you know very well that what I said was not clever if one uses the simple requirement that an understanding of the topic is required to comment on it in a clever manner. Not tring to be clever, but I copied below what RaRaAvis posted, and it seems that "official ... numbers" are created in a manner to satisfy a government/political agenda, and then placed in to the public view after going thru a filter process of the mainstream media companies of TV Land & Print to satisfy their combined agenda of personal stake in the market place and what creates the best story(s) for the present and follow ups to draw in the most viewers thru an wow or entertainment or spectacular story line so that the rates for advertisements can increase and make for a better bottom line, aka profits. the stock market is the economy the economy is the stock market ================================== paper money created not because of new creations in goods & services not because new goods & services will be created thru it but created to give legitimacy to creations of worthlessness and this makes me wonder someone got that cash for doing something like building office space for a worthless company paychecks to people for doing work ending in no value created, and after that worthless company goes to the money investment well too too many times without produce to return value for a profit, then the well will go dry and disappear but that created paper money will not disappear money existing without pointing to value is dilution, is inflation i guess and think but its too simple an explaination to be right no ? if a billion dollars was invested into a company and company belly up'ed its like war time money making bullets and bombs which hurt and kill but do not create value but can stop evil but at a price as after wars the amount of values as in goods and services is less represented by spent bullets & bombs, and physical destruction of goods and services like buildings and people. A really dumb way to create a need for goods & services creation, this thing called war which destroyes that which existed. A really dumb way the government tries to control things. A really dumb thing the media does, legitimate it to use it. Both require stupid, and smile while fed dung, citizens.
