White House: Good News Doesn't Need Data, Bad News Doesn't Exist
According to The Hill, the Biden administration floated the idea that critical economic data—October's job numbers and inflation figures—could simply vanish from the public record. Because who needs transparency when you have vibes? Historically, governments have always been eager to share glowing economic reports, but strangely quiet when the figures suggest less than stellar performance. One
might recall similar convenient 'data gaps' whenever inconvenient truths threatened election narratives. This isn't just about a few missing spreadsheets; it's about control over public perception. When a government can simply choose not to publish data that reflects economic reality, it's not just an oversight; it's a strategic move. Perhaps the 'most transparent administration ever' just prefers
a bit of mystery in its economic forecasting. After all, if the public doesn't see the numbers, they can't possibly protest them, right?
