The Bureau of Labor Statistics Has Now Erased 1.7 Million "Jobs" They Claimed Were Created Under Biden (and the First Two Months of Trump's Term)
First they erased 818,000 jobs they claimed Biden created. Job numbers that were used to claim that Biden was managing a "Miracle Economy" which was the glory of the world.
And now, they've "corrected" these propaganda numbers again, erasing another 900,000 phantom "jobs." These numbers go from Biden's last year through March. I think we can say that these "corrections" are mostly about Biden. And it's time to start talking about criminal investigations. Deep Staters rob taxpayers of their money in order to fund psyops against the taxpayers.It's the second year in a row for massive downward revisions, Washington Post econ reporter Heather Long points out. The new numbers show that the US economy added around 75K a month, well below the maintenance level in relation to population growth, for a full year before Trump started imposing new tariffs on trade...

The jobs reports are a monthly release, and according to the numbers they’ve been falsely doubling the jobs reports. How long do they wait to revise it? Well there’s generally a 1 month and 2 month revision. We never got those, so that leans towards intentional misleading. And… pic.twitter.com/pw0yofRF2v

Either this is incompetence, or it's corruption. There are no other explanations for consistent misses of this magnitude for two full years with no effective corrections.The election was rigged. Period. This was a coup. And the "election fortifiers" need to go to prison just like the J6ers did. Update:
Fact Check: The 911,000 jobs they faked existing is a record. The only time any administration had gotten close to that many fake jobs reported was...the previous year in the Biden administration when more than 800,000 jobs that didn't exist were reported. Nice try, dickbags. https://t.co/oESbYMaDuD

The manipulation of data at this level is designed to create narrative.
The problem with that, though, is that people kind of...don't care about it on any real level.
Their opinion of the economy is mostly handled at the local level. If you live in a town where the one plant shut down and everyone left and it's a desolate wasteland, most people in that town will think the economy is terrible, even if the rest of the country is genuinely going through some kind of golden age.
Apply that to fake numbers saying everything is great but everyone looks out and sees more illegals, high prices on everything, and stagnant job markets all at the same time, it doesn't matter what the fake numbers say.
They'll work with dedicated partisans, who would vote for you anyway, but almost no one else.

I rate that is largely true. Did some research way back when on gubernatorial races and neither national nor state unemployment were significant as factors but local unemployment reported through REIS was highly significant (and a sizable effect as well). On national offices, you do get more of the national influence on unemployment stats but only for retrospective voters (aka punish the bastards), not prospective voters.
No one really knows much about state unemployment or income stats because that reporting is buried. So the proxy for a state's economy is simply what voters see around them--closed businesses, local layoffs, people moving out, etc.

After several back and forths, I discovered, through their admissions of their own research, and through documents they extracted as an outcome of their tasks to prove the merit of their claims, that someone *inside* Twitter had created a fictitious identity of me associated with the networks and communications as the investigators described them.
Think about what was discovered here.
Someone inside the Twitter platform, an employee of Twitter or a person who had the ability to access their administrative system (ie. FBI), had made a decision to target me. As a result: (a) they had been doing this for a long time with a specific goal in mind; and (b) they created an elaborate trail of background activity and identity that was entirely fabricated.

There was also the small issue of millions of unrequested mail in ballots being sent around the country with zero oversight. And the unsecure electronic voting machines which absolutely were connected to the internet and were allowed to be manipulated in multiple states.
I doubt Biden got more than 67-68 million actual votes, nowhere near 81 million. That number is laughably stupid.

Possibly true, haven't looked seriously at economic data over time (aside from inflation) in years. Certainly true by the measure of economic stagnation in average wages since the 70's or if you compare living stds in the 70's versus now.
Continuous uninterrupted inflation sequences most likely spurred by the Fed's creation leads over time to some pretty serious distortions in the economy. Then we have reserve currency status laid on top of that mess plus exploding governmental costs funded by debt.

I mean, they are routine since Obama got into office, and they started doing *annual* revisions the following year. Normally for a Dem in the WH they add about 400k fake jobs a month for the "birth-death adjustment", which is the assumption that a growing population must result in new jobs so they just pencil whip them in there. For Biden some months had as many as 800k fake jobs added.
But this isn't new for Biden, this was part of how they hid the depression during Obama's terms. Make no mistake it WAS a depression, and it was kicked off deliberately via some money market account shennanigans. Biden wasn't the first coup we had, 2008 was as well.

I did the numbers once way back in 2020-21--my guess is that Biden genuinely received about 61-62 million actual ballots--mebbe 50-55 million votes when you separate out vote harvesting, ballot stuffing, vote discarding (GOP votes) and vote buying common in blue urban areas.
Thinking about playing around with precinct level data in selected areas from 2020-2022 using some statistics likely to show fraud. Depends on whether I can manage the data entry nowadays due to health problems.
Also have a very old NACO survey of how votes were tabulated circa 2001 or so--this county level data source might be interesting if the same precincts were compared using same statistical fraud measures in that era with voting method being the obvious comparison for fraud incidence.

At this point it is either being done on purpose or by sheer incompetence. Either way anyone remotely involved with anything having to do with job numbers needs to be fired and we need to start over.
There is one thing I am certain of, if there are numbers involved the government will capture those numbers because the government exists to count things and the way it is happening now is broken and we need outside eyes on the process to repair or replace it.

US test scores hit damning new lows in math, reading since COVID school closures, ‘nation’s report card’ shows
The writing’s on the wall — if you can read it. Sobering national test results show more high school seniors are struggling with math and reading than at any point in recent decades, with Education Secretary Linda McMahon calling out a “devastating trend” Tuesday. The National Assessment of Educational Progress (NAEP) — commonly referred to as the Nation’s Report Card — showed just 35% of high school seniors were proficient in reading, the lowest score since the assessment began in 1992. The math score for 12th-graders was even worse, with just 22% achieving proficiency.

Most of that 180 trillion is an extrapolation based on estimates of potential liabilities, not actually debt per se. It presupposes that those liabilities are sacrosanct but that is unlikely. Things like medicare, medicaid, social security pensions from fedgov, etc can be abrogated because they are NOT considered by courts as enforceable by those receiving them. Essentially past Congress cannot limit a future Congress from changing the law to eliminate a liability.

=====
Harmett Dhillon, as head of civil rights at the DOJ, has made election integrity, especially clean voter rolls, one of her top three priorities at Justice.
Today, she completed a suit against the NC government to remove 100,000 inactive voters from the state's voter rolls, and she's got other lawsuits going in other states.
Imagine TrueTheVote, but with DOJ money and resources.

If you back 1/2 of those potential liability numbers, look at tariff revenue and continue DOGE at all levels of government, could we actually have a real surplus with no debt?

Wages have been stagnant since 1974, the balance of trade went negative then, too.
The national government is in the hole by $38 Trillion, with another $100 Trillion in so-called “unfunded mandates”. If you’re wondering what those mean, they mean “You”.
The whole thing is twistedand only possible because of the USD as “reserve currency” allowing for the export of monetary inflation to some degree, and the hollowing out of our economy and infrastructure.
When it blows up it will be Biblical. Don’t be fooled because it hasn’t happened yet, “slowly at first, then all at once”. These sorts of calamities historically happen literally overnight.
“Like lightning it struck” they said in Europe in the 20s. I believe them.
Notice every country practically has been hit by wrenching economic collapse, hyperinflation, currency and bond repudiation, re-valuations and complete anarchy at some point in recent history. America hasn’t had that, thankfully. We’ve been getting the warm up for Coming Attractions in recent years.

Inflation is more dollars chasing fewer goods and services.
Low interest rates will enable small companies, the drivers of job creation, to borrow and increase the the size of the labor market thus increasing the amount of goods and services which will balance the lower rates.

There are thinkers out there who think a form of royalty is better, since the power is generational and one looks out for the family, but I disagree. Monarchies go corrupt for the same reasons, and I know what my family has been like.
Perverse incentives is the main cause, but it is a question of both what incentives should be and how to maintain them. Bitcoiners and Austrian-fading-to-AnCaps think it is the concentration of power and influence without brakes - I have not seen a way to prevent concentrations of power; Constitutional fundamentalists think it is a matter of moral action and moral belief.
Personally I am not a fan of morality argument since it rarely goes beyond step two, what is the way to maintain morality.
I used to joke in arguments that the reason things are bad is that the virtue of the world has gone away with the death of Baldur, but that is an explanation that quashes any meaningful discussion.

People seem to take the idea that the fed's control of interest rates not having anything to do with inflation as meaning that the fed doesn't have anything to do with inflation.
The Fed controls M0 money supply directly while influencing M2 money supply heavily through that power.
The relationship between their interest rates and inflation is...overblown. The relationship between their control of the money supply and inflation is actually...pretty tight.

The ideas here need attention. All of the my-guy versus your-guy crap is so that when my-guy goes away, his ideas go with him. That's the downside of Trump. He is a person of exceptional ability, but I didn't vote for him because of his ability as much as the IDEAS that he is putting into practice.

The ideas here need attention. All of the my-guy versus your-guy crap is so that when my-guy goes away, his ideas go with him. That's the downside of Trump. He is a person of exceptional ability, but I didn't vote for him because of his ability as much as the IDEAS that he is putting into practice. Those MUST continue when he is long out of office, not get swept away with Trump and his administration.

That is correct, but the better analogy is of a captain (the fed) telling the mate (businesses) he should steer ten degrees to starboard on a super tanker (the economy). The mate may comply to some extent, but it will be six or seven miles before the ship actually turns.

This is in addition to the state charge of first-degree murder, which also carries a life sentence.

The Federal Reserve was created to care for and protect the fortunes of the wealthiest Americans and their bankers.
The gauges used to determine rates are pegged to aggregate data that is skewed by the fortunes of the wealthy. ...
,,,the 'Establishment' is squirming like no other period in memory. They control all the levers of influence & continue to lose.
They will never stop trying to put things back in place which means wealth accumulation is skewed in favor of the wealthy.
Barriers disguised as good deeds keep the masses corralled in a pool of self-doubt, content with keeping up with the Jones' via high credit card bills and living paycheck to paycheck.
To break the system individuals must establish their own priorities.
Buying crap you don't need shouldn't be on that list.

Low interest rates will enable small companies, the drivers of job creation, to borrow and increase the the size of the labor market thus increasing the amount of goods and services which will balance the lower rates.
Posted by: Braenyard - some Absent Friends are more equal than others _ at September 09, 2025 03:41 PM (xnok+)
Increasing the credit availability by lowering the rate just blows the bubble higher and will cause a deeper end to the business cycle. Look, easy credit plus government spending, plus the closure of the gold window by Nixon is what sparked the inflation in the 70's, and that was with nice rates. What got the infaltion under control was the higher rates, which were onerous.
I am going to point out that you are arguing the Keynes/Samuelson view of economics, and I am arguing Austrian school, so I don't expect a lot of closure here in this argument.

The USD is created by someone taking a loan, and promising to pay it back with interest, and the holder of the loan covering it from the Fed system. The US treasury bonds and notes, US Steel getting a loan, to you buying a used car on credit. When interest rates are zero then inflation zooms, and when it is high it slows.

Noninflationary job growth
The strong 303,000 payrolls gain in March reinforced the Fed’s
cautious approach toward rate cuts, as some Fed officials see
job growth as being too hot for comfort. Our take, however, is
that the details of the jobs report offered welcome signs that
labor demand and supply are better balanced with the labor
force participation rate rebounding and wage growth easing.
Notwithstanding strong immigration flows, we foresee softer
labor market conditions with cooler hiring, targeted layoffs and
continued moderation in wage growth. We expect job growth
to slow below trend over the course of the year and see the
unemployment rate rising to 4.1% by year-end.
