It's harder to make money off of government lies and harder still to force a government's hand. A government's size and authority see to that. But it can be done, just ask George Soros.Jason (the commenter)https://www.blogger.com/profile/16045360562791361484noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4464222071440015933.post-80479740635453607522009-05-11T07:12:00.000-04:002009-05-11T07:12:00.000-04:00Is the same thing true of corporations?Is the same thing true of corporations?John Althouse Cohenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11703450281424023177noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4464222071440015933.post-66584520631583333472009-05-11T00:37:00.000-04:002009-05-11T00:37:00.000-04:00You could argue between several different measures...You could argue between several different measures of unemployment as the most pertinent. Interestingly, the number which sounds the best politically is also the number the government has decided to use after long, thoughtful deliberation. <br /><br />It's like that with most government statistics. The same statistics the government uses to plan everything it does.Jason (the commenter)https://www.blogger.com/profile/16045360562791361484noreply@blogger.com
