I don’t believe anything coming out of any department in Obama’s administration. You never get facts, only propaganda and lies meant to mislead. This “news” is meant to plant the idea that whatever success Trump has will not be from what he does but from the idea that the economy was already recovering under Obama. Thats how the corrupt Democrats work. It is nothing more than that.
Bureaucrats are people and most are honest and some fudge and we're smart enough to tell which is which and why.
We keep hearing folks on the radio and these threads who say everything from the gov't is a lie but then when they get a hurricane warning, or say a heads up about an income tax refund --suddenly they believe it. Same w/ gov't econ stats. Think of all the times we hear people say that the unemployment rate's typical of how they're all lies, and we know that because of how the BLS says that a hundred million able bodied Americans are not employed.
