John Williams\u2019 shadowstats.com (paid subscription) tracks the raw economic data published by the U.S. Government.  He then calculates indices based on historical formulas used by the U.S. Government.  Over time, the government statisticians were required to change the formula to paint a better picture of the economy.<\/p>\n

I agree with John\u2019s assessment.  We are heading for a cliff.<\/p>\n
