342 billion dollar trade deficit with China, just last year.

A new all-time terrible record.

And it is getting worse, this year.

Oh, gee, you mean the economy’s not showing signs of a need to raise interest rates?

If the numbers don’t show what you want, just change the numbers. And if that doesn’t do enough, go back and change the earlier numbers the other direction.

Presto! The economy is booming.

lol

economy doing bad? well, then just adjust the numbers to make it appear better!

(by the way, the reason the economy does worse the first 3 months of the year... is because people are tapped out from Christmas!)

“There’s something strange about the U.S. economy in the first three months of every year”

Someone in the Labor Dept. forgetting to add the secret sauce?

Funny, I never remember all this mystery and tweaking of numbers before we had a community agitator in place of an actual president.

But many economists have challenged the government's data, and some have argued the first-quarter figure should be as high as 1.8 percent instead.

Just like Rove on election night, except it is a bunch of liberal economists with no clue.

It’s not a mystery. Even Scooby Doo can figure it out and here’s the “mystery”...our “leader” is a braindead scumbag anti American traitor.

I believe this investigation ought to be relegated to the ‘Mystery Science Theater 3000’.
