Chris Lu ✔ @ChrisLu44

The Bureau of Labor Statistics is one of the most respected statistical agencies in the world. Instead of relying on BLS data, the president is making up his own numbers. It's propaganda and yet another example of how he's diminishing career civil servants.

Wow, a blowout JOBS number just out, adjusted for revisions and the General Motors strike, 303,000. This is far greater than expectations. USA ROCKS!
