I guess when the "statistical proof" comes from the Gruberites who laugh at the "stupid voters" who believed them and from the Man who won the LIAR of the Year Award from the Washington Post -

People tend to be a LOT skeptical of the "statistical proof". The Reality for most families is that prices at the Grocery Store have gone UP a lot, prices are UP on most everything. Millions of people have dropped out of the Labor Pool, people are forced into Part Time work due to ObamaCare rules. They often have to have several Part Time jobs just to pay the rent. College Grads are living in their Parent's basement and working Part Time anywhere they can find a job.

REALITY tends to trump the "Statistical Proof" of People who have PROVED we can't TRUST them.

Turns out that some of the Stupid Voters actually woke up. Trust is Lost.

Special pleading
Moving the goalposts or making an exception when your claim is shown to be false

You and the rest of the stupid voters are wrong. The CPI and employment statistics correct.

Two separate survey's are showing consumer confidence is back up to pre recession levels.....

Things have and are getting better, perhaps you should stop listening to the doom and gloom of a particular group of people.

So what EXACTLY in error with the means that these two separate survey's were done?

Of course prices have gone up.... it's called globalization and there's been a huge demand overseas. Do your handlers mention that fact? Do they tell you how global droughts and global demand affect food prices? As my articles indicate inflation is decreasing, which coincides with a global slump in demand. Sorry reality doesn't match up to the reality your partisan party has been feeding you.

I have a more accurate statistical report that contradicts the government statistical report on inflation: My Walmart grocery bill.

The same idiots posting the same idiocy over and over. Sort of makes one wonder about legal pot. Anyone who believes that things are getting better and that inflation is in check is seriously deluded or an obagger or both.

Your Wal Mart bill is reflected in global supply and demand. Do you want our government go to exert MORE control over food production or do you want the "free market" to dictate prices?

And the same idiots keep responding with the same idiocy over and over.... It's okay if you have no data or any points to refute anything I've posted in this thread. You may leave the big person table now.

Anecdotal
Using a personal experience or isolated example instead of a valid argument, especially to dismiss statistics.

according to this survey right here - responses from real people - it's more like 30%. or don't you want to deal with real statistics visible right before your very eyes.
