My problem with US statistics is that every adjustment to the method of calculation - whether it be in GDP as last year, inflation or unemployment is always designed to show a more optimistic picture. We know that less US citizens of working age are working now than in 2012, 2008 or 2000 but yet these misleading statistics show that unemployment is falling. You are misleading your own population and deluding yourselves. It is as if we were living in a new Ice Age yet the Government denies it by classifying 'warm' as -10C so anything above 0C would be positively 'hot' - it doesn't stop people freezing to death.
