From the BEA:

Discontinuation of New Investment Series In order to align its programs with available funding, BEA is eliminating the survey of new foreign direct investment in the United States. The last release in this series, which will present data on new investment by foreign direct investors in 2008, will be in June 2009. BEA will continue to collect extensive data on foreign direct investment in the United States, but it will no longer be able to separately identify the portion accounted for by investments in newly acquired or established U.S. affiliates. |
Ordinarily it's good news when the government downsizes and ordinarily we're not supposed to believe the government's lying numbers; but this is different. In this case the numbers can be considered bad news for America so then they must be true, and in addition they're being discontinued so that's proof of a cover-up.
