> What effect does "making it bigger" have? It makes the economy look better. In a nutshell, governments want people to think everything is alright, even when it's not. There's a massive bubble in US stocks, for example, and when (not if) that bursts, it may well take the rest of the economy with it, and then it'll be worse than 2008. As long as people can be manipulated into believing that the economy is recovering, having to face reality can be postponed. As for "conspiracy theorists", you've been trained to point and laugh at them, but you shouldn't. For example, how does a hijacked passenger plane crash into the fucking Pentagon without the most powerful military in the world stopping it? Not without the aforementioned military letting it happen, that's for sure. Feel free to start questioning everything you're told by the mainstream media any time now..
