  1. Totally to be expected from any Autocratic government

  2. Lying liar who lies about everything lied about something. Shocking news

  3. The man who fudged the sq ft of his properties, raising it to obtain loans and lowering it for tax purposes?

  5. This is going to bite them in the midterms! You can’t tell people that are hurting that the economy is booming without also making them feel that trumps policies don’t benefit them

  11. Which would have been (more) easily caught if they hadnt been delaying economic reports the last half of the year. You know that if this admin isnt doing exactly what theyre supposed to be that they are fucking around, or lying, or projecting. Or all three

  12. Fires everyone. Proceeds to hire people with zero experience who lick his boots & fakes numbers. Geeze who would’ve thought

  16. For those that are still not seeing the big picture, here’s a helpful tip; when you remove third party oversight you aren’t making the process more honest. When you refuse to publish official findings you aren’t doing so to make sure the findings are ‘real’. When you remove regulations on industries to allow them to self regulate you aren’t doing so because it’s the ‘smart thing to do’.

    Nearly everything this administration has done to cut out ‘waste and fraud’ has had the intended effect of making it easier to build in waste and get away with fraud.

    You don’t start an audit by saying exactly how much money you will find that’s been wasted or stolen. You don’t start out saying that every program started by the Democrats is nothing but fraud.

    You don’t start an audit that way, but you do start fraud that way.

  19. We already knew this was going to happen. Who’s surprised it did?

  20. You mean the guy who fired the director of BLS because they published accurate data?

  21. Shocked! Gobsmacked even. Shocked & gobsmacked.
