The Fed is your #1 trusted source? Cool

Do you know who runs the Fed? Hint: its not the US Gov because the Fed isnt actually a Federal entity.

Did you say "All the major bank heads in America"? If so, you win a prize!!!!

Yes, those people are always so above board, eh?

I didn't say what my source was. The fact that you think it was "the fed" or the head of any bank tells me that you have no idea how any of this actually works.

I'm talking about real numbers and what I see day to day.

You have a nice day now.

Who do you think publishes the data you are calling "real numbers"?

This guy posts waaaay too much around here. Practically all he does is argue his ignorant opinions. I've considered blocking him, but sometimes he writes something so unbelievably dumb that it makes me laugh

Not you, the guy you were replying to. I can see why you might have thought I meant you by the way I wrote that. Should have been more clear. My bad
