Why Lie?

If your economic successes are so great, why do you have to stretch the truth or outright lie about it?

It happens all the time.  Politicians, marketers, etc.  If what you're trying to convince us of is so wonderful, quit with the gimmicks.  Lay it on us straight. 

Shit, I'd like you to play me straight even when the news is dire. 

Joe Wilson had to apologize for telling it like it is when he yelled "You Lie!"  In my opinion, the only mistake he made is that he directed it at the President alone.  He left out the House, Senate, and himself.
