Today’s main stories (filed as the top stories in boldface under “Economica”) expose highly important economic numbers that do not appear even close to adding up. Yet, as important as these numbers are for understanding our economy, no one in mainstream financial media and very few in the alternative press are questioning them, in spite of the apparent gaps in logic and the internal contradictions with other government agency reports. The articles linked to here dig into internal inconsistencies that beg for an answer on these big numbers.
