I read that the federal government is intending to exclude its own expenditure from official GDP numbers, to make them look better.  Media might treat this as a call to henceforth treat all our federal information sources as propaganda as they would from suspect foreign government official sources.  If they don’t already, given the sorry history preceding the invasion of Iraq after 9/11.  Unfortunately, this includes formerly trustworthy sources such as NOAA hurricane warnings, now subject to manipulation to avoid recognition of climate change effects.
