Trump fires Biden-appointed Bureau of
Labor Statistics commissioner after bad
jobs report: ‘Numbers were RIGGED’

They made up numbers over the last four years, perhaps she's not used to using real numbers.

Its troubling that the markets rely so heavily on the most unreliable of sources; government reports. A crystal ball and tea leaves would probably be more accurate.

Nonpolitical economists have been talking about the absurdity of the DLS numbers for several years now. She lied about the Biden economy, and by a huge stretch -- which was absolutely necessary.

She was either grossly incompetent or blatantly dishonest. The information before the election was a clear disconnect from the reality that emerged over time, when the lie/error could no longer be maintained. Now the "data" is moving against the clear perception that the job market is growing. A question might be, is it possible to provide accurate information in a near term review? If so, then the results are open to manipulation. Right now, the numbers come out and then are "corrected" months later with little apology for the incorrect reports that happen. The problem is, plans are made and financial actions are taken based on those reports. If they cannot be made reliable and are subject to political distortion, their accuracy should be disavowed until more accurate long term reports are available in which data cannot be so easily fudged by political leanings. Maybe the information should be rated with a confidence index based on historical outcomes. Such an analysis could also reveal trends based on political timing. For example, it could be found that inaccuracies tend to support dems at election time. This analysis would not be subject to manipulation because it would be comparing historical outcomes of short and long term reviews. There may be a constant, say 5%, error that drifts higher based on various factors like elections or the presence of dems or Republicans in office. This would tell us how trustworthy the data is based on the political situation. One thing DOGE has proven to us is that government figures are NOT to be trusted. The amount of errors and gross manipulation is horrific.

Just my opinion but the President needs to be very careful about firing anyone who presents bad news. If there is evidence that the numbers were manipulated, bring it forward. Otherwise he will continue to called by some a "dictator" who surrounds himself with yes men !

Take a look at her. You just know she wore a pink p**sy hat in that women's parade in 2017.

In comment to #5, is there heartache with Donald Trump's assessment of Jerome Powell? I actually think something needs to be done about Jerome Powell's insistence that rates stay this way. . .

Just goes to show how deeply these swamp critters have burrowed themselves into the governmental woodwork. As much housecleaning as Team Trump 2.0 has done so far, it's obvious there's so much more cleansing to be done. Just when you think you've found them all, more of these weasels keep turning up.

No one who was a Biden appointee should have been allowed to stay.

I get that these numbers are revised as better, more complete, data becomes available. That has ALWAYS been true. But these numbers with revisions have apparently been deliberately manipulated for political purposes. That has rightfully cost her, her job. But seeing how the Fed and the markets respond to these numbers makes this reader suspect that politicians and others in the know are using these data manipulations to make money in the market as a form of insider trading?

Besides the weather where else can someone be so wrong and still have a job? I will suspect Jerome Powell either knew the fudged numbers or will claim he can now reduce interest rates after this "discovery".

Those who read the article will learn that PDJT did not act rashly. He is not the only one who believed the numbers during the Biden administration were also rigged to make it look better. And now, this woman did the opposite. A career federal employee, she had been in tje Biden administration before this appointment. As for his being deemed a "dictator" surrounded by yes men, he needs to be surrounded nay people who are competent and truthful, sans agendas of their own and others. PDJT has formidable analytic ability. He can tell when something is "off". If he erred,it was in keeping this woman. I consider her to be a Biden plant.

Another female never Trumper. They risk their jobs and reputations to be part of "the In Crowd." Just doing what she thought Hussein would have wanted.

To set the record straight there are also male never-trumpers. Even at LCom. Not quite as open as in the past, but detectable.

There can be only one reason Biden appointed her and that is to lie.

She thought that no one would notice when her gross overestimates of employment during the Biden Administration abruptly changed to gross underestimates under President Trump.

Erika--- you're caught with falsifying some numbers...now...let's get someone in there to report ...REAL numbers....ya gotta watch those democrats...they cheat all the time...and I'm sure barackHUSSEINObama thought he had that base covered...and now he's gonna have to explain real numbers....the swamp keeps losing...but they hate President Trump so much...they just keep trying....now ole Joe is jacked up on meds and sent out to be interviewed.....OMG.....

How can you tell if she's lying?... Her lips are moving.

Now fire those who do the census every 10 years. We've lost Congressmen/women in Red States because of the crooked numbers.

am i wrong about this: seems it should be a ms susy wiles job to clean house, not sweep under the rug. the dingalings in personnel [personnel is policy, friends] should list every pre-pdt/ un-pdt employee for her review...and f-i-r-i-n-g....with alacrity. we are no longer dancing in ye days of yore, [the last episodes post-ww2 of redz infesting every office, crawling up the draperies]. generally, honesty, quality, workmanship prevailed. and 'our flag was still there'. these red ants are 70's vintage maomaoz...consuming our cities and citizenry. do your jobs. get them out posthaste. they boldly advocate the violent overthrow of america. do we have gather up everybody who can smell a mrxista a country mile away...and bus ourselves in... to boot them out ourselves...? and you lazy sods into the bargain!!
