Never action in defiance this concern.

Zero. Nada.

They need to shut up or put up. Seriously. Any reporter should ask, "So what are you going to do about it? Specifics please."

Hey MSM, can you use the NAZI word yet?? Nah,better wait till Trump really does something outrageous eh??

with issues like this, businesses and investors are realizing they have less and less good data to go on. That doesn't inspire confidence to commit to plans, capital expenditures or more investing. Over the years the government's requests to gather economic data has found less and less businesses and individuals willing to take the time to report the data in sufficient quantity to get high statistical accuracy across the US economy. Now add to that the sense that maybe certain people are looking to skew already shaky data for their political ends and you get lower and lower confidence that putting $$$ at risk in business, the stock market or whatever is a good idea. We are sitting on a huge bubble in stock market overvaluation and real estate values and Trump is looking like a great big prick in more ways than one.

I believe the BLS data has been as accurate as it could be. Is it perfect, hell no, but it is the best we had, now, with a Krasnov goon in charge, no one will trust the numbers.

The Krasnov administration is fighting a war to destroy truth.

Putin couldn't do a better job destroying America than Krasnov is doing.

I agree with your statements about loss of confidence by investors, both domestic and foreign.

Want to go out on a limb? If the world loses confidence in the United States. it will and is already moving away from the United States. Losing the dollar as the world's currency is unlikely but the possibility is growing. Krasnov desperately wants to devalue the dollar, that is his main economic goal.

And besides basic confidence, if you are Canadian or in the EU, you may not want to be doing anything that helps Americans at this point. Sure, a smart investor leaves their emotions aside, but given Trump's behavior I think many outside the US are saying "Anything or anywhere but America".

I don't trust his opinions.

Doge has cut people who go out and actually check shelf prices to compare to last month or last year. That data isn't there with the same granularity.
Krugman had worries about this in January before inauguration day. One of his big worries was in the Treasuries market. What happens when people who buy US treasuries, considered to be the safest, or at least one of the safest, investments world wide? When investors, many foreign, stop trusting the numbers backing up the treasuries. where will they go? What will happen to the interest rates, going up and how far. What then happens to the debt payments. Up, up up.
If you hold the Inflation protected treasuries can you be sure the numbers are correct or is the administration giving low ball inflation numbers to keep costs down? How does that affect Social Security?

And they will.

I never watch Fox so I forgot the name of the big black Fox economic guy who fluffs Krasnov. He is my pick.

Saw a meme saying this yet it won’t allow me to post it.

If flu and COVID numbers rise next year next year because people could not access vaccines due to RFK Jr's policies, they will try to suppress those numbers as well.

that if there is a COVID Pandemic 2.0 that there won't be a single Dr. or Nurse working in ANY of the hospitals thanks to what happened last time around........

The Health care workers all saw Trump Inc, along with his spawn Ivanka and Jared cause 500,000 Plus MORE DEATHS than was necessary due to actions/inactions they caused....... Add in DeSantis, in the face of it all, having his spring break college kids crowds congregate in Florida Bars and Beaches. And don't forget Kristi Noem, in the middle of it all, having 400K to 500K come to Sturgis and socialize in close quarters for a week............

And, to top it off, the critical vaccine that will be needed will not be available, like last time......

Trump and his CABAL, The Republican Senators, The Republican House Members, Republican Judges including those on the USSC, and all border patrol and ICE should be rounded up and sent to the Hague for Crimes Against Humanity....................

He's their guy and is only getting started destroying everything that is good about America. Sound bites don't cut it.

We are so so screwn.

Thaaaat's right.

NOTHING.

All it takes is a bomb threat or two to their home phones to get them in line again.

It's how fascism works.

Because that means SQUAT!

Sen. Cynthia Lummis, R-Wy., saying this is “kind of impetuous,” is an understatement. And a lie.

isn't the same thing as DOING SOMETHING ABOUT IT!

Come on, people, grow a SPINE, FFS!
