“Have you noticed that every key metric of the economy is constantly being revised, rewriting history and installing a shiny new set of ‘facts’?  The ‘headline number’ is always positive, and its downward revision buried in an avalanche of new data. The revisions are so constant and so extreme that the recognition of this constant revision of history to suit the political needs of the current regime has been numbed; everyone knows the numbers are intended to paint a positive picture of a devolving, fragile economy and society, but we prefer this propaganda illusion to the harsh reality. Why? Because half of us are getting a direct check, benefit or payment from the state.”
