Deception everywhere. Just voted and the parking lot filled with people handing out “Sample Ballots - here, it’s critical you take this with you into the voting booth” and it’s a Democratic Ticket/ballot and everyone took one as they looked like county officials handing out helpful information…grrr

I'm still troubled by the number of Americans who want full-time jobs but have to take multiple part-time jobs to make ends meet. I don't think that gets enough coverage. The BLS likes to bury this detail. I am also concerned at the number of foreigners who take jobs over Americans.

What's your take on the GDP data that came out? 2.8% growth seems rosy to me. I suspect it's largely because of government spending. I'd like to dig into whether non-government growth contributed to the growth or not.

Actually, I'm saying that to get to the underlying reality you have to look at the underlying data.

But the REPORTING does not reflect the underlying reality. That also I am very much saying.

How big is the gift card? I'm willing to be one of the usual suspects if the gift card is large enough! :D
