LOL! I didn't say it was "hard to prove conclusively", I said I couldn't prove it in a court of law without an economist, and those don't come cheap. But I don't need to hire an economist for the court of public opinion - they are willing to share their opinions publicly. I can't think of any better proof, myself, than the fact that Federal Reserve Chairman Alan Greenspan has commented publicly that the BLS statistics are unreliable, nor the fact that reputable economists have questioned BLS statistical methods and results, publicly.

<This is what I am saying, if it is so hard to prove it conclusively, perhaps the thread participants should ease down on their repeated claim that the BLS fudges data.> What, highly intelligent people can't put their opinions foreward?? Boy, you are tougher than the FDA :) DAK
