I've got nothing against Lutnick. I've got money in a couple of his investment vehicles, CEP and CEPT.

That said, this is a spectacularly stupid commentary. President Trump just plunked E.J. Antoni of the Heritage Foundation as BLS director. At the time he did so, the President said, "He will ensure that the Numbers released are HONEST and ACCURATE." So Lutnick is telling us to ignore the numbers until he likes them?

I’m predicting the Fed will lower interest rates in September and that these employment numbers will be revised substantially upward after that.

Every time I go into Lowes and Home Depot, I ask how their lumber sales are going. Not so well. They’re still building homes in my county but not at the pace of last year. Part of that is there is apparently much less government funded stuff. Which is good as government funds Section 8 along with the self-funded homes. Overall there appears to be a drop in spending. This is really a problem in car sales. But then, the manufacturers aren’t producing the cars the market needs. A truck I’d have bought for $45k three years ago is anywhere from $55-75k. I saw today some dealers are offering discounts of $20k, but who wants a turbocharged four cylinder with a problematic ten-speed transmission? So, the designs aren’t what people want either. All this means fewer people will be working until the economy resets from the Biden years and that will take a while.

The FED should not be setting interest rates, period. It is not their job.

The jobs market heavily relies on illegal aliens. Just look at the plant in Georgia that got raided by ICE, they were employing HUNDREDS of illegals, imagine if AMERICANS had those jobs..but instead illegals are being employed by these companies
