it IS fraudulent. normally the summer season results in weak heating oil, crude prices, no? so they should have adjusted UPWARD, not down. there's reality, and the government fantasies. let's see, every statistic that CAN be manipulated , is manipulated (inflation, productivity, GDP) everything that is based on raw numbers (consumer/corporate debt, current account) is showing never before seen extremes... i heard that the first thing Bubba wanted to know after his inauguration was 'how shrubbery had managed to cook the economic data in the run-up to the election'. that's what one of his former advisors admitted in a recently published memoir (i forget who). we're seeing the practical application in action...
