#9 Sadly, government numbers are crafted for political use, then later adjusted with little media notice. To paraphrase an old Soviet axiom, "They know they are lying, we know they are lying, they know we know they are lying, and we know they know we know they are lying". Apparently, it now describes the USA.

The anomaly of increased jobs numbers coupled with increased unemployment reflects jobs going to persons not withing the reporting system (illegals) and persons within the reporting system taking on a second job, part-time to survive the massive inflationary impact of government spending/borrowing/printing.

#12 I've come to this point with a healthy and well founded distrust for government numbers, politicians, polls, insurance companies, financial planners, government agencies, endless wars and honest elections.
