DON'T BELIEVE THE HYPE, PART III

Here's another good Whiskey & Gunpowder piece on the barrage of bullshit that oozes out of Washington disguised as economic metrics, with a focus this time on the demogoguery & politicking it engenders. Sneak peak: the brouhaha over illegal immigration may be about more than "Patriotism."

Remember, "official" unemployment figures, "core" CPI figures, and every other number released, bear about as much resemblence to the actual state of the economy as those spewed out of a random number generator.
