to quote somebody else on this thread, put down the crack pipe Nikita.

By hollow economic figures I am talking about the BS GDP and productivity that the white house is touting, in addition to their refusal to believe the "new jobs created" figures.

The GDP is wrong, the productivity figures are something of a statistical anomaly and the new jobs figures are right. Those of us who know how offshoring is used in practice can see exactly what is wrong with the government figures. If Bush tried to get an intelligent, tech-savvy, modern economic team instead of the cronies he hired who ran the republican party in the 70s, all this would be crystal clear at least to them and they would at least cease making fools of themselves predicting 300K new jobs that turn out to be 300K permanently unemployed.
