GDP growth is the best overall indicator of economic health. Lots of the other numbers can be (and are, clearly in some cases, being) fudged. Expect the household median income numbers to be "adjusted" sometime during the first quarter, for example. The GDP itself was also "mysteriously" boosted for the third quarter; expect that one to be "adjusted" as well, as it has been (downward) several times during this fake presidency.

Correction: he can’t go back to his fake news channel, because he’s also a fake Chris Matthews.
