		<description><![CDATA[I would love the BDA GOV to categorically state where they are getting these results, because I work for one of the major wholesalers in the categories listed in the article above and we have not see increases like these so where are the retailers getting their increases from. 

Statistics are possible the single most easy thing to manipulate and it is amazing how even the seemingly more innocent politician will do so to improve their standings... misrepresentation of the truth is as immoral as steeling from the public purse. 

Such as: If Crap Construction Co. only made $100 last year and made $120 this year that is a +20% increase... But its far from doing well! And if Crap Con Co. is the only construction company I ask well then, cant I then claim that the construction industry saw a 20% rise in profits! 

Beware the report that uses % points to brag about benefits &amp; bounty!]]></description>
