Oh no, we’re in recession! What should we do Mr. President? Simple! Hide the proof!

Once again, we’re faced with impending doom and the lies of a corrupt administration. While they refuse to utter the words “recession,” they go out of their way to shoot down anyone who says thats whats happening

The U.S. economy is faltering. Family debt is on the rise, benefits are disappearing, the deficit is skyrocketing, and the mortgage crisis has worsened. Conservatives have attempted to deflect attention from the crisis, by blaming the media’s negative coverage and insisting the United States is not headed toward a recession, despite what economists are predicting.

The Bush administration’s latest move is to simply hide the data. Forbes has awarded EconomicIndicators.gov one of its “Best of the Web” awards.

Guess its kind of a sting in your ass when your own economic data refutes everything you spew to the public on television and in the papers. Though the fact the website clearly states its closing is due to budgetary concerns is telltale enough as it is.
