John Williams keeps track of official government statistics and how they
would look if not for changes made in the method of computing the statistics
( alot of the changese were made during Clinton administration, so it's not
like thwe changes are going back to the '20s):

This is some of his numbers and there is a link to go to his site, anyone can

Shadow Government Statistics released a double-issue newsletter this weekend.


Consumer price inflation: 12.9% - fedgov lies say 4.9%

Unemployment: 15.8% - officially 6.5%. He also reports
impossible biases in monthly employment figures in 11 out of the past 12
months, resulting in 678,000 jobs lost but not acknowledged.

GDP: -3.27% - officially +0.81%. He notes that
GDP figures are "the least meaningful and most heavily massaged of all major
government economic series.

Published by the BEA, it primarily has become a tool for economic propaganda."
