"Trump economic adviser Kevin Hassett was on Fox News this morning saying, “we’ll maybe be able to concoct something, but we’ll never actually know for sure what the unemployment rate was in October.”

All this DATA exists and all they have to do is pull it together - they are all such liars hoping that the "public" won't know anything about data, how it is collected, how it is stored, and for how long. Really? We have "data" from decades ago. Does anyone really believe that the employment and jobs and economic data disappeared in the 42 days that the government was shut down just because there were no actual people there that would gather it up and put together a report?

I will bet you that the report is automated and that it is sitting there, but the data output is so bad that they are using people's lack of knowledge in this area to keep from releasing it.

Well, that isn't going to stop the data from November from coming out and it won't look good either because unemployment is up, wages are stagnant or down, purchasing power continues to decline as prices continue to rise, the Big Ugly Bill that cuts SNAP and Medicaid is getting closer to implementation - with everyone cutting, gutting, and shutting to anticipate loss of revenue and profits for the richy rich. Inflation has been on the rise since the "Day of The Tariff" in May... and more ugliness.

Scroll down to the articles in July that break down the provisions in the Big Ugly Bill that will NOW be put into the budgets that are being passed - Or taken out, as it were.

I have a friend who just got a increase in health insurance from $850 to $3900 and is considering moving to south America country to get the health care she and her husband need. That is not making any American better.
