More lying with data.

Because I am lazy, and as an exercise for the readers, for once I will allow you to do your own examination and determine just all the flimflam and statistical tomfoolery at work in this very-poor article. There is a ton of it, though.

I wonder, though, when someone writes something like this, do they actually know they are lying? Or do they believe it?

(Here’s a small hint because I know people have trouble thinking about this: How much more expensive life is today than it was in 1960.)
