50% of all statistics are made up. Of those, only about 30% are based on factual opinion. The 40% of statistics that aren’t made up are deceptively weighed to fit a hidden agenda. Oddly, liberals believe 75% of all statistics presented by liberal politicians and the media. The other 25% think they are sandbagging or are part of the 50% of statistics that are just made up on the spot.
40% of the country can be categorized as having a liberal political opinion about most government policies.
Therefore, 30% of the nation will believe any statistic that a liberal politician or pundit quotes.

The uncaring conservative policies of our government have caused certain death and suffering to our population in the past, right now, and in the future. Unless something is done right now, and at great rates of public expenditure, 100% of Americans and their children will become victims.

>>>50% of all statistics are made up.<<<
Reminds me of a quote on a postcard I saw several decades ago:
“According to government figures, forty percent (40%) of all statistics are totally worthless”.
