Truth or CONsequences?<\/a><\/h3>\n

When your government cons you daily with its statistical “facts,” it’s hard to keep your balance. Conned-sumers are feeling the cognitive disconnect from reality.<\/strong><\/p>\n<\/div>\n

For years, I\u2019ve been saying it appears the BLS (Bureau of Lying Statistics) publishes fake labor statistics. The numbers always look like the seasonal adjustments are used by each administration to try to make the numbers look better, which means we are operating our country on delusions, not on facts. Ultimately that cannot possibly be as good for the nation as seeing reality as it is and dealing with it together.<\/p>\n

Never, however, have the numbers looked so blatantly fake as they have under the Biden administration<\/strong>, and I\u2019ve been pushing that point for months now. Then along came a major mainstream publisher (CNBC) who finally said (first I\u2019d ever heard from the mainstream financial press), \u201cThese numbers look rigged.\u201d And now, at last, comes a US congresswoman who tells the head of the BLS she should lose her job if she cannot come up with real numbers, pointing out, as I have for some time now, that it seems a bit too convenient that the numbers always come out initially looking great for her Boss, #NoMoJo Biden, and then get revised down to a more dismal reality later in the year when practically no one is looking \u2026 and that this happens EVERY SINGLE MONTH and ALWAYS IN THE SAME DIRECTION!<\/p>\n

The fluctuating statistics have finally caught the attention of lawmakers in Congress. Last week, Rep. Mary Miller, R-Ill., grilled Acting Labor Secretary Julie Su about her Biden-friendly reports.<\/strong><\/p>\n

\u201cI pressed the Biden Administration on why their jobs numbers are consistently wrong and quietly revised downward after they are announced.<\/strong>\u00a0What is going on at BLS?\u2026\u201d<\/p>\n
