Obama Manipulates the GDP Number to Manipulate You

Through the Looking Glass !

"In March 2013, the U.S. government invented a new way of calculating GDP. The Financial Times reported that starting from July 2013, U.S. GDP would become 3% bigger due to a change in statistics. [GDP] now includes R&D spending, art, music, film royalties, books, theatre. This change in GDP statistics has not been implemented elsewhere in the world. So the U.S. is the first to accomplish this rewriting of the GDP number."   [Patterico]

Dear Leader has learned well from his Communist mentors the art of manipulating information. [clipper]
