WOW! A growth rate increase of 0.01% the headline screams..

But wait. Isn't a growth from 3.4% to 3.5% a growth rate increase of 0.1%. Or is this financial wizard really meaning an increase to 3.41%? Who would really know?

Statistics and basic arithmetic does not seem to be this government's strong point. Poetry gets a low score also.

Wonder if they can give us a projected life expectancy for humans? Between 1 day and 100 years is probably the answer I would demand to hear now.
