Soon the USA will be like those countries in Latin America and Eastern Europe where no one trusts the government data.

Just another step in downfall of a nation…

Sarcasm, I presume.

But thanks to the spineless DNC that keeps shoving poor candidates down our throats, we are unable to win elections and will continue to have Republican presidents and a Republican controlled Congress.

So Trump is the Dems’ fault? GTFO.

Round 2 of Trump is the Rs fault. They should have impeached when they had the chance.

Trump's second term is obviously mostly the fault of his moronic supporters but Biden and the idiots who thought it would be a good idea to nominate someone in 2020 who would be 78 at the start of a first POTUS term are also to blame. Needless, many people are on the hook for this disaster and slowly but surely those people are admitting to their past voting mistakes.

Was the dems process last year a mess? Of course. But the Rs could have prevented all of this by impeaching after Jan 6.

I am tired of everyone blaming the Dems for this. No, the Rs bear the responsibility here. They let this happen and failed to grow a pair and impeach.

I’m also tired of seeing these posts blaming the Democrats for the mess the Republicans have created by tearing everything down. The blame shifting is unreal. Democrats are not the Republicans’ keepers. They could have run Mister Rogers or Jesus and they both would have lost, in an environment where 1) low information swing voters don’t pay attention to politics 2) right wing propaganda demonizing immigrants and cities gets relentlessly pumped out and amplified on social media 3) Gen Z men are mad because the left won’t help them get laid 4) voters are generally fed up with incumbents.

If anyone is to blame, it’s the voters who decided incompetent, corrupt grievance mongers were just what the nation needed at this moment in time. Blame also goes to the Republican party, for harboring, coddling, and enabling them.

Yes. But lowering rates in the face of tariffs would accelerate inflation.

Trump's hare-brained policies lead directly to stagflation and leave the Fed with no good option.

It isn’t one person doing these reports. There are teams of people who collect the data that goes to a team of economists and data scientists that interpret, analyze, and report the data. The idea that any one is undermining Trump is absolutely ludicrous.

Trump's first term was wrecked by saboteurs appointed by Obama, as well as NeverTrump Republicans. He is not going to let it happen again, and will take out Biden appointees who he thinks might be sabotaging him.

Sabotaging by telling the truth that the job market sucks? So he's going to bring in somebody to incessantly lie like he does?

PP asked for a serious defense.

Just because your party lies, and fakes data, and sabotages, don’t assume everyone else does it.

Replacing everyone at BLS with Trump bootlickers isn’t going to change cold hard reality. People will know they’re being lied to when they can’t find a job.

That’s MAGA cult thinking at work. When the economy does well, Trump gets all the credit; when the economy falters, it must be those dastardly Democrat saboteurs. It’s all Obama’s fault, even though he left office 8 years ago!

In 2099, when we’re all sitting around the campfire eating bugs, they’ll still be blaming Hillary.

We might seriously be driving full speed into a great recession or worse, depression. They might cook the books for Americans but international financial systems will figure out if something is off and quietly act accordingly.

what are you blathering about. Every president in the modern time has been saddled with "saboteurs" - Obama had his tan suit and being a muslim or not being an American, or his wife's sleeveless dress; Biden had his son's addictions and some fake mistress thing and something about being creepy around kids; Clinton had all of whitewater (fabricated) black helicopters, vince foster, ron brown and then the actual one in Monica Lewinsky, which, in hindsight is rather quaint.

Trump has actual issues and conflicts with Russia, China and Saudi Arabia and his policies have gifted all three countries. That isn't a coincidence. And if you think someone at the BLS is cooking the books, you have no idea how complex it is to gather data from the 50 states and hundreds of industries to compile these numbers. There are way too many non-partisan people involved to be able to do that. But now, Trump is going to corrupt this as well, and the results for the dollar, for the US economy, for US businesses and investors will be devastating.

See, a BLS staffer had to be fired because too-high jobs estimates were revised down this month which was unfairly bad for the president and just last year too-high estimates were revised down which was unfairly good for the president.
