>> the phony facade of bogus unemployment and inflation numbers.
Phony facade?
Anyway, the unemployment stats fail to represent the significant drop in workforce participation.
Given that we can’t poll all of the people who according to the Govt “voluntarily” dropped out of the workforce, it seems we’ll never get and “honest” unemployment rate again.
Like Global Warming, it is frightening to think that honest (we hope) and well-meaning policy makers are making economic decisions base on totally bogus data.
