You channeling Chang?

No it wasn't constructed to hoodwink the people. It was constructed 
to get a picture of the macroeconomy. Planning for WW II accelerated 
the process in the U.S., but national income accounting in general 
has a long history that has little to do with hoodwinking the people.
