Lying With Statistics.

Have you noticed that all the stats Chump splatters out these days are based on MARCH figures?

Yada, yada...the Stock Market is up over 50% since March.
Yada, yada...Jobs are up by 9,000,000 since April
and so on.

Well, yeah, asshole. Everything tanked in March - Using March as a base is artificial and deceptive - just like everything else this moron does.

BTW, Biden is UP 13 points since March.
That's the figure I want to hear.

"Lies, damned lies, and statistics" is a phrase describing the persuasive power of numbers, particularly the use of statistics to bolster weak arguments. It is also sometimes colloquially used to doubt statistics used to prove an opponent's point."


Thanks for the input.
