trump is the same as biden, obama, bush.
Sadly clinton was the last president that operated under the notion of fiscal restraint, but that was the last vestiges of the GOP actually being serious about finance.

Nawww, Trump just axed the BLS director because he didn't like the crappy job reports numbers and he's gunning to put a yes man into the fed chair. We're definitely getting fake economic numbers in 2026. 20 years of bush, Biden, and Obama never accomplished anything similar

The BLS director should have been fired but not for Trump's reason but because the BLS data department has been putting out bogus numbers that they know have been bogus, to revise quietly months later as a matter of policy since the Bush admin. So its not just a Biden era occurence but all have played the game and should be fired.

That said the US economy has been going to shyt since the 60s when Nixon broke all connection from the US dollar to gold.

You have been getting fake economic numbers since the fed was created my guy,

Government Statistics Are Always Political | Mises Institute

The recent political firefight over Trumps firing of BLS Commissioner Erika McEntarfer overshadows the underlying question of why we need the BLS at all. Murray

In short, despite the transparent political aims of the current administration in the battle over the future of the BLS data sets, the emphasis placed on government statistics is inherently intractable to the operations of the interventionist state and, therefore, they should always be viewed through a lens of cynicism. Much like romantic notions of “Federal Reserve independence,” “a federal system of checks and balances,” or the “independent nature of professional bureaucracy,” to suggest otherwise is to ignore the realities of how Washington operates in practice.

No Matter Who Is President, Don't Trust Government Data | Mises Institute

President Trump is right to raise doubts about the motivations of the government officials tasked with collecting and releasing economic data. But it would also

There isn’t clear, undeniable evidence that officials at the BLS are editing or making up the jobs numbers that go out to the public. But it’s easy to see why people think that they are when you look back at the series of dramatic downward revisions the Bureau has made in recent years—especially during Biden’s presidency.

The monthly jobs report is a recurring, previously scheduled drop that all major media outlets publish immediately. And whenever the headline number is dramatically large or at all higher than expectations, White House officials are quick to seize on the news to frame it as a consequence of their brilliant economic agenda. However, when these jobs figures consistently get revised at a later date—ostensibly due to new information—the revisions are rarely given the same level of attention by the media and are therefore only really noticed by the small subset of the population that is closely monitoring economic data.

So, as an example, the Biden administration was able to loudly celebrate BLS reports showing dramatic job growth month after month. And when almost all of that growth was revised away in future reports, very few people noticed. The consistently inaccurate jobs reports gave the public the false impression that the economy was booming. The fact that this was due to the same kind of mistake apparently being made over and over again struck many as suspicious. And rightfully so.

If you think things were honest before you are being naive or delusional on some political tribalism.
Fact is Trump is simply undressing the politics involved which as a whole is a good thing, you shouldn't trust anything the state releases as their instruments will always push their agenda.

Embarrassing. This is what happens when you drink the neoliberal/ ultra-free market economist koolaid without understanding shyt about economics. Latin American countries look at Chile, and what it achieved post-Allende and don’t realize the nuance of that situation. Watch this dog-fukker privatize his entire country after this

Argentina has been failed by both left-wing and right-wing weirdos. Thats why they are in such dire straits

Latin America has been ravaged by socialism. Look at Brazil and Argentina, equal with world powers and driven to poor developoing world status due to socialist economic and political movements. It is said.

the funny part though is you are mad about privatization, but have nothing to say about the even worse hyper inflation

Argentina has had as much ultranationalist right wingers as they’ve had “left-lite”leaders. Even the leaders people cite as leftist like Perón had fascist sympathies.

Also, I’m not mad about anything, I’m laughing at Argentina voting in a clown who played an economist on tv, and doesn’t understand how structural inflation works

Fascists are leftist you understand that right?
You literally dislike his privatization efforts which is why you criticized those specifically. You don't have to run away from that criticism and it isn't a negative, even though I would disagree.

That said he knows exactly what he is doing with regard to inflation. He just doesn't care because he is getting paid and a nice landing spot from the imf for this shyt. He was bought off

Not worth my time to get into an argument on the semantics of the word — fascist.

I’m not running away from anything, you said I was mad, I said I was not. I’m never said I was against privatization, I’m against the retarded privatize everything outlook some Austrian school economists and their acolytes espouse.

imagine being so stupid and brain dead that you confused a hyper pro hierarchal ideology like fascism with anti hierarchy of leftism

read a fukking book and still letting some cac tell you how to think

When you claim something is retarded you are against it and that's your right but you can't a t offended when called out on it breh. Lol

When did I say I was offended? If I’m against certain interpretations and implementations of an idea, it means I’m against the entire idea? . Read what I said again.

I read what you said breh, you took offense initially because I said why are you mad about privatization when the inflation is worse. You went on to claim you aren't mad and don't care, and etc. so I take it you purposely take mad as you being angry instead of disliking. Maybe it's a generational think I don't know but it isn't that serious
