Political manipulation of national statistics by either party may providing talking points for their political campaigns but does little in effecting sound solutions. Ask any lawyer and he will tell you that juries can pretty much tolerate most misgivings concerning a witness but they can't and won't tolerate or forgive a liar for obvious reasons. This primrose path politicians are leading us all on is creating a quagmire for American stability.

I for one have expressed, in writing, my anger and disappointment everytime a politician is caught in a lie.
