So what...any numbers they can’t reach-they will lie about!

Wow, “great job”, Joe..employment projected to return to pre-pandemic levels by 202*4*.

If Trump were still in office, we’d return to pre-pandemic employment levels this year, EASILY.

Guess “regulate, tax & spend” isn’t such a great economic strategy after-all, eh?

The CBO can say whatever it wants. The people who run the economy aren’t listening.

What a joke! Government numbers. As real as Harry Potter, COVID, election results and the Easter bunny.

The next 4 years will be worse than the Jimmy Carter years.

I remember CD interest rates nearly 17%. Inflation was double digits. Lines to get Gasoline for your family vehicle at times were 2 miles long.

And yup Biden will screw it up worse.

imho

Sure. Why not? They can phony up the numbers just like the election.

The media will lead with the story for a week.

I suppose it is possible since we’re still recovering from the COVID cratering of the economy, but I’ll believe it when I see it.

Whatever the growth rate is, if it’s like 0.9% I would expect them to lie about it as long as they can. Employment always seems to lag with Commiecrats.

“Employment always seems to lag with Commiecrats.”

It lagged 8 years with Obamao. Their employment reports always come with serious DOWNWARD revisions months later, too.

Yeah, the number of government employees will probably grow at least that much and their salaries by 10% but the rest of the country, not so much.
