Every major monthly US government economic report– employment, GDP, inflation – is little more than a fraudulent propaganda tool used to distort reality for the dual purpose of supporting the political and monetary system – both of which are collapsing – and attempting to convince the public that the economy is in good shape. back...

The other Night on the NBC nightly fake news..They said the unemployment rate came down...Then Lester Holt said "but this drop was due to the number of people who had 'Given Up" and were no longer being counted...LOL

$this->bbcode_second_pass_quote('dissident', 'T')he same clowns that claim we will make more copper (or any other element) when we deplete the resource.

[Outcast_Searcher]

$this->bbcode_second_pass_quote('dissident', ' ')I see an over 7% inflation rate in food prices in central Canada. And this has been the case for years. Forget about living costs, the average house price in Toronto is now over $1 million. The same houses went for under $250,000 during the early 1990s.

$this->bbcode_second_pass_quote('Outcast_Searcher', 'J')ust because you notice a couple of prices escalated a lot does NOT mean, much less prove, inflation is much higher than reported. Electronics, a growing proportion of many goods, has steep deflation over time, just to cite one example of an offsetting factor.

I don't think Outcast you seriously are telling us inflation has NOT been a chronic problem for at least the last 50 years. Surely, we can all remember when an ice cream Sunday was 25 cents and now over $5 as 1 example. Here is a graph which proves my point.

Cliffie is Department Head, Statistics, Tin Foil College, USA. The two double digit IQ undergraduates who he mentors compile and analyze data in a $20 trillion economy. He knows the same as the ETP Bozo when it comes to a log chart. Nada.

$this->bbcode_second_pass_quote('', 'Y')et I am told inflation is under 2%. Shadowstats is clearly showing legitimate inflation metrics where the government is supply utter fantasy fiction.
