I am convinced that if the US government entirely printed false numbers saying GDP was at 2.5% and unemployment was at 8.5% etc etc etc., that the corporate lemmings and all these other people ( who continue to be flipped flopped back and forth by the nitwits on CNBC and Fox, i.e., Bob Pisani who repeats the same thing over and over and over all day long like a freaking parrot) would frantically start hiring and buying more things etc., and our economy would turn around very quickly.
There is a tremendous amount of negativity in the media and general public which isnt helping at all.
Just do what China does....lie.
