I don’t think most Americans care about the stats or the figures. Most Americans care about “can I pay my bills” and as the economy continues to collapse despite these massaged numbers saying it’s not, more and more Americans are going to realize what’s happening
I’m not saying “most” Americans, I’m saying the professionals, the administrators, the educators, the people who Howard Zinn referred to as “the guardians” of the establishment. people who buffer everyday against the tensions from the great masses of the working class people being ground between gears, and use their position to justify or excuse it’s failures to those they exercise some power over as bureaucrats or functionaries.
basically , the very people for whom the smoke and mirrors of the current economic metrics and KPI are generated to soothe and give the impression that this system is something other than what it is.
