The Government Lies To Us Routinely — Why Should We Trust Them About Anything?

SEE HERE A free society cannot long endure with a government that routinely lies to them for political purposes.  I remember how much heat President Eisenhower took for lying about the U2 overflight back in the late 1950s and today we've gone so far down hill that the government lies about nearly everything.  If you can't trust government statistics because they're lying why should you trust anything they say or do?  Do you feel better because the government tells you that the unemployment rate is 7.8% when it's more nearly 23%?  I sure as hell don't.
