You are correct on there is no way to "prove" these numbers. But these numbers should not exist at all and people are becoming frustrated that they do. And it all goes back to politicians not doing their job as opposed to be constantly running for re election. You have to admit there is a problem, a huge one at that. The pols talk the talk, but when it gets right down to it, the lights on the camera go dark and so does their brain.
