Every day I hear figures released by this or that government department or agency......and it all makes me think of George Orwell's "1984".
If you haven't read this book yet, you really should. In the story the main character's job is to change old news stories so that figures projected by the government end up being true. No one pays attention to things long enough to realize that old news stories are being altered. If they come across them, they assume it always said that. In one part of the story these figures are broadcasted to the public. Winston knows these numbers are fictitious, symbolic and used to manipulate the populace......sounds familiar right?!
Here is a short synopsis by sparknotes: http://www.sparknotes.com/lit/1984/summary.html
I encourage all Americans to read this book. Realize that our liberty is being threatened, our minds manipulated. Don't let them control you. Black Out the Mainstream Media. They are a tool our government uses to control the population.
If you enjoy "1984", I also recommend:
Aldous Huxley's "Brave New World"
Ayn Rand's "Anthem"
George Orwell's "Animal Farm"
