I received a RW email from a friend of mine, asking if I could read and point out errors for her. [View all]

She is an independent and thought the email looked for real since it had references. Well, it did in a way, like (1) U.S. Energy Information Administration; (2) Wall Street Journal; (3) Bureau of Labor Statistics; etc., but no page numbers/paragraph numbers, etc. Anyone can use references like that and it looks like they have researched everything, but you can't refute the numbers.

Can I post the email/chart? Last time I tried to warn about an email making the rounds, I got chewed out on DU, so I don't want that to happen again.
