Biden Administration Is Changing The Rules So It Can Spin Economic Data Sooner
Breitbart ^ | 02/14/2024 | JOHN CARNEY

The Biden White House is scrapping a decades-old rule that bars administration officials from commenting on economic data for one hour after their release, a notice in the Federal Register indicated Wednesday.

Faced with polls showing that the public strongly disapproves of President Joe Biden’s management of economic issues, the White House is changing the rules to give them a new advantage when it comes to spinning economic data in a more favorable light.

Instead of a glancing blow, gives the regime time to make sure we hit the berg head-on.

No-one is listening to Brandon as it is.

Seventy percent of the country says the USA is on the wrong track. Getting out there and claiming how great the economy is, just makes them look out of touch.

Hey, it worked with public health data...

Deep State’s frontmen are stupid, not the people hiding behind them.

It’s all made up anyway. Might as well get an early start on it.

A lie can make its way around the world before the truth can put its pants on, or something like that.

That’s one thing the RATS do well...changing the rules to suit their needs.

Yup- they also conveniently changed the definitions of words such as “vaccine” to fit their narrative.

So the tools Presidents have used for decades we can’t use that anymore because it says the opposite of what the regime wants the public to relive.

The Biden Administration doesn’t have any rules they toss things at the wall if it sticks try it.

It’s why they screw everything up.

I just very recently paid an extra 12% for a grocery item on what would arguably be the cheapest retail grocery outlet in town. What difference does an hour make when Biden is trying to convince us that inflation is going down, but it really isn’t?
