Well, the election is over, and there’s no reason to lie about it anymore.
Is what I just wrote fair? Before you answer, read this, from John Dealbreuin’s article at Financial Freedom Countdown, via msn.com:
Estimates released by the Federal Reserve Bank of Philadelphia reveal troubling discrepancies in reported employment data across the United States.
From March through June 2024, job growth estimates differed sharply in 27 states when compared to earlier figures provided by the Bureau of Labor Statistics’ (BLS) Current Employment Statistics (CES).
The revised findings, based on more comprehensive employment data, show that 25 states posted lower-than-expected job changes, raising concerns over the accuracy of preliminary economic indicators and the pace of national employment recovery.
Job openings declined in September, with August figures also revised downward, bringing the three-month moving average to its lowest point since the spring 2021 reopening.
Additionally, job totals for June and July were revised downward by a combined 86,000 positions, dragging the three-month average to just 116,000 jobs—a significant signal that hiring is slowing. This downward revision comes on the heels of another massive revision a few weeks ago.
The new data for the second quarter comes after the election where Vice President Kamala Harris tried to reshape voters’ perceptions of the Biden administration’s economic performance.
The White House, along with Harris, has struggled to persuade Americans that, despite widespread public unease about the U.S. economy, things are actually going well and that inflation has been controlled without severely harming the labor market.
Asking again: is what I wrote – that there’s no longer any reason to lie about it – fair?
I don’t know if Donald Trump and the people he installs in responsible positions can reverse this deep state sickness, this ongoing pack of lies that always seems to work in favor of Democrats. But I hope to god he gives it a try…and makes progress in forcing the government BS artists spewing them to just give us honest facts, and not falsely sugar-coated things in either party’s direction.
I don’t think I’m asking too much.
