i vote for (3). also, the spin machine is already in full swing: For his part, James Glassman, senior economist at Chase Securities in New York, said the admission of the computational error bolstered his confidence in government statistics. ``You constantly hear the argument that the government is cooking the books,'' he said. ``How could a government possibly, that was trying to hide something, want to tell you about a computational error six weeks before an election?'' this from Chase securities, a beneficiary of the book cooking so vehemently denied from this 'independent' source. i mean, this guy can't possibly be as naive as he makes himself out to be right? and since when do we "constantly hear about the government cooking its books"??? i have yet to hear word one about this in any of the popular media or from a mainstream economist. who are the real cynics???
