Government Lies
About US Economy

From Bill Conn
12-5-3


Hi Jeff,
 
Here's tidbit that needs looked into. On Tuesday 12/02/03 the media was reporting that internet sales are way down for online businesses this year. They stated; it's do to the fact that people are afraid of having their identity, credit card, and or bank accounts ripped off if they buy online. The Gov. is claiming that our economy is growing very well in other markets.
 
I also have an internet retail site. This year my sales have dropped to 50% of what they were a year ago at this time. I also know of other people who have retail websites, they are all telling me the same thing that I say. Sales are way down this year compared to last year on the internet. I also have friends who work at street front retail shops, all of the retail shops are complaining about how piss poor sales are this season compared to last year at this time. However the media is saying that retail this year is way up for street front stores........way up where I ask? I don't see this at all, in fact I see it to be just the opposite. Sales suck this year!
 
Now, on Wednesday, 12-3-3, the media was reporting just the opposite of what they were saying the day before about internet sales. On Wednesday 12/03/03 they stated that internet sales are up 42% this year over last year. Now I know for a FACT this just is not true. My over all sales this year on the net are down 50% not up 42%. Some one is so full of crap, I mean what way is it? Sales reported way down one day then the next day sales are reported way up for the internet, I'm confused!?
 
I beleive they are lying to us, I believe that over all, retail sales this year are in the dumper for most everyone. Their lying to keep us spending our money to help keep our weak economy alive as long as they can.
 
PS, I have been retailing on the net since 1996, this is the first year that my sales have drastically dropped. In the past years sales generally grew at about 100% year to year. So someone is BSing someone on this good economy crap!
 
Note: after 9/11 my internet sales did drop off a bit, 2002 sales were about the same as 2001. Pryor to 9/11 my sales grew at about 100% per year!?
