Nothing is impossible when you force agencies to fudge numbers.

This administration clearly won't allow govt statistical gathering entities to be independent.

Keep telling yourself that, if that’s what makes you feel better. I heard the same talk before Bush’s economy tanked.

Then why are blue states wealthier, better educated and the most innovative?

Red states are moochers.

Please explain the 'justice' of New Jersey and Illinois having to support Mississippi and Alabama?

You must not have been alive or been paying attention in 2014. It was big to have happened in 1 quarter of Obamaville.

The economy is fine.
The future looks great.
The Trump agenda is peeing on the fire of democrats hate.

Dems can lie all they want and,
cry themselves to sleep.
The crap that they push is getting way to deep.

Yeah? The future is so great Trump has to bail out farmers(who are p*ssed at the suggestion that they are being bailed out) that are suffering due to a trade war he started.

Trump loves 'free' govt money, those farmers prefer to earn it-he doesnt understand.

lol

I really don't think Trump is able to fudge these numbers. If word ever got out that Trump was trying to fudge the numbers of these economic releases, there would be some extremely serious hell to pay. Plus, they have extremely tight security measures in the BEA and BLS that are probably pretty resistant to political tampering.
