Yes. It’s really out there for all to see, which is why I enjoyed Santelli’s sarcastic reaction – he sees it and knows the numbers are phony.
I can’t really watch CNBS for more than a couple of minutes at a time either but I do like to tune in when there is economic data, usually about 6:30 am my time.
What strikes me is that the data for the most part is negative, unless they need it to be positive on any given day.
Everything is a farce, markets, economies, governments and slowly some of the population is beginning to understand.
