The original estimate was 39% too high, not even close enough for gubbermint work. Is someone fudging the numbers? We note the presence of brown, sticky material which we don’t believe to be fudge….

This administration is always playing with the numbers. GDP, unemployment, the total number of houses sold the average price of a house.
They also always release the numbers that have been changed DOWNWARD late in the week and preferably just before a holiday. This way, everyone is distracted and not paying attention to what was released. Just like a street hustler playing three card monty
This was explained in the series The West WIng. Its called take out the trash Friday. They release a number of stories all at once on a Friday so they have responded to the stories, but no one gets a lot of coverage.
So the Gooberment put out a revised revision of the original revision of the revised figures from the original revision? Anyone else thinking ClusterF*uk while reading this?
Please defer any discussion of these alleged numbers until a definitive analysis has been issued by the Ministry of Truth.

We won't come close to an evaluation from the Ministry of Truth until Feb 2013. Hopefully it won't be too late by then.
