    Yea, US inflation is MUCH higher than what the gov is stating. But the US doesn't want to raise entitlement pay (social security disability/veteran disability, etc) because their deficit is already extraordinary, so they are playing with the numbers.

    @mastershakejb

    Of course they are playing with the numbers but that isn’t new or from Obama’s Govt.
    This is coming from the ’70.

    Here and example to show the lies and how the media contribute to this:

    Will the US unemployment rate average less than 9% in 2011. The Economist who makes think to people that people without jobs is only 9%. 14th Dec 2010 (pay attention to the date).

    December U-3 reported by U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistics was 9.4% so they gentlemanly reduced 0.4% coincidence perhaps?

    But this is not the real Unemployment in US even the official that has 5 point less than the reality.

    U-6 (total Unemployment) reported by U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistics was 16.7%.

    But what is the real Unemployment in US before the hair cuts made by the Bureau of Statistics and later for the media?
    21,2%

    Here the official US numbers http://www.economist.com/economist-asks/will_us_unemployment_rate_average_less_9_2011 after their cut.

    Use the same criteria for all numbers of US statistic and nothing is real like the inflation reported, the GDP, etc.

    But the Economist and GP Morgan don’t trust Argentina’s numbers but yes US numbers, Give me a break I think Greece had better statistic than US Imagine what is UK and Italy. Haha
