Congress that is!  They lie to us, the world and the Congressional Record.  And they passed a rule to make it legal.  For example:

Someone introduces a bill to raise the tax on Tommies ice cream bar by 5 cents.  A Representative stands on the Podium and expounds on how unfair this would be to add a burden on little Tommy.  Then the Representative turns right around and rewrites this little speech to "give it to the little bastard, raise the tax to 15 cents to teach Tommy some responsibility," and this is what is written into the Congressional Record.

Don’t you think that what the Representative says on the podium is what should go into the Congressional Record?  I do.

Read this ruling in the paper quite a long time ago.

Remember when Clinton ran for and was elected to his second term, the media sprouted about the $Trillions of dollars his policies produced for the economy.

He was elected, but where did these trillions go?

Not a peep from the media.

Now that’s real government accountability.
