Huh? Anyone with half a brain knows that our offical govt stats regarding inflation and productivity are complete and utter lies, with so many variables for discretionary adjustment that there is nothing left resembling the truth.

The only difference between the US and Japan is that Japan just got caught doing it in the public, and they got caught so red-handed that they finally had to admit it.

I have no doubt whatsoever that the same sort of revelations will occur here in the US, and likely within the next few months.

The fact that greenspan has publicly stated that the fed specifically ignores BLS statistics because they are cooked, should be enough evidence for even the most ignorant J6P observer.

As always, nobody cared if they're being lied to as long as the stocks kept going up.

Get ready for the witch hunt.
