 Admitted? Hell, I proclaimed it back in Dec 2007. Remember when
 the right wingers were saying "The fundamentals of the economy
 are sound"?

 I responded by showing how the unemployment stats were cooked,
 and pointed out that the economy sucked.

 Turned out that was the month the recession started.

 You can use the stats if you can find the numbers to tell you
 how far they are cooked. Which you can.

 The real "Honesty in government" would be for Obama to order
 all departements to issue the most accurate reports they
 possibly can, under threat of immediate terminatin for any false
 reports.
