The Ministry of Propaganda wouldn't lie in an election year, would they?

If they were going to lie, why not make it 3.9%?

Despite this news, we are set to have another year of <3% GDP. We've been here before. One quarter has an ok GDP, the media announces "we're roaring back" only to have the following quarters come in poorly

I have little interest in streamlining government or in making it more efficient, for I mean to reduce its size. I do not undertake to promote welfare, for I propose to extend freedom. My aim is not to pass laws, but to repeal them.

Not to mention adjusting the numbers down in a month or two...

"Roaring back" with skyrocketing debt and spending on outrageously high healthcare premiums.

And in a couple of weeks, after the election and the RATs have taken credit for this "roaring back" to win elections, they'll quietly announce that they miscalculated and the economy only "grew" by about 1%...

I've seen this play before...
