Bidenomics At Work

Oh, and while it’s great that oil production has recovered from COVID and the early Biden Admin policies, most Americans aren’t as concerned about the actual levels of production as they are about the actual costs of fuel. And the fact remains that fuel is still extremely expensive and a larger burden in the typical family than it was 4 years ago.

Not really. It's a global phenomenon. If you think it's bad trying to find affordable housing here, try the UK and Canada
Proud supporter of Plan 2525. Everything you think, do and say will be in the pill you took today.

The average American voter doesn't give a fig about the global economy. They do care about their kitchen table issues. Things like the price of fuel, food, clothing, utilities and how much they'd like to get rid of their hooptie ride and buy a decent used car or a new one, but they can't afford it

US Dollar is the most commonly traded currency in the world, at a rate three times the Euro, the next most common. So yes, what happens to the US Dollar, and the actions of the Fed have significant global impact. When the Fed dumps $3 TRILLION into the global economy, it’s going to impact everyone. Plus, the EU and other currencies followed suit later in 2020 and 2021, which exacerbated the issues, but make no mistake… The US has the largest economy in the world. In fact, you would need to add the economies of Japan, Germany, India, the UK, France, Italy, Canada, and South Korea to match it. So when it gets sick, everyone suffers.

Yes, obviously America has a big influence - the old cliche America sneezes, the world catches a cold has a lot of truth to it.
However, unaffordable housing and high oil prices, which is what were talking about, are down to a lot more than the US. Despite what some politicians might claim, American oil production isn't the primary driver behind oil price.
And a lot of what we're suffering from now is a direct consequence of the Covid epidemic.

Always remember, Operation Valkyrie was an act of sedition.

But would not the Biden administration want to have lower jobs reported rather than higher jobs numbers? With increased jobs, then there is a higher chance that the US interest rates will continue to be raised. I would think that the Biden administration would want the rates to be decreased.

The
Biden administrationBLS has revised down previously reported jobs data for nearly every month this year, resulting in a huge disparity from the originally advertised numbers, according to the Bureau of Labor Statistics (BLS)..The BLS have their methods, administrations come and go.
DON’T let them eat cake.

The saying, "Lite is just one damn thing after another," is a gross understatement. The damn things overlap.

Which raises the question: Has BLS revised numbers in the past, and if so, how often?
Yes, the BLS has been making revisions for a very long time (my memory of that goes as far back to when Clinton was President, won't surprise me if that practice stretches back even further). It's a publicly documented practice, see https://www.bls.gov/bls/empsitquickguide.htm , look for the section under "Monthly Revisions."
Srsly, one may quibble over specific methods, but having a revision practice in place is the right thing to do to balance "timelines" and "accuracy." The BLS has that and discloses it; has been that way for a very long time.

I think they literally always revise them There are things that are estimated in the first pass that can be measured in the second.

Then the press does the public a mighty disservice by acting as the propaganda arm for the administration.
-
There have been 7 downward revisions and 1 upward revisions through August.
In 2022 there were 7 upward revisions and 5 down.
In 2021 there were 11 upward revisions and 1 downwards.
So the majority of months since his inauguration the BLS underestimated the sheer awesomeness of Bidenomics.

Therefore, lies are ok?
-
They are not presented as first drafts. They are presented in MSM as hard numbers and rarely are the revisions reported as news, except as a blurb on page 15.
Intentional obfuscation is a lie.

I didn't mention Trump. Other than a link, I haven't mentioned Biden in the link about job numbers.
The Bible sez the wicked flee, when no man pursueth...
Correction: I did mention The Resident on 8/28/2023 in this thread.
