Because everything with the left is built on a foundation of lies.
The 2 stats I want to see reported: 1. The cost of government (including all spending, because deficits must be repaid), and 2. The cost of government regulation.
All the government statistics on the economy are corrupt. The labor numbers, inflation, GDP - they are all horribly corrupt and not accurately measuring what they were intended to measure.
Only a government bozo would believe another government bozo gathering unemployment numbers. The irs reports would be pretty accurate. called a w2.
