This is from an interview today with the head of BLS:
BLS Explains Why 'Cooked' Jobs Report Charge is 'Preposterous' - CNBC
So, there's 2 people that contributed to the Obama campaign... OUT OF 15.
Wow, that's a revelation alright.
Fact is, it would take a massive bi-partisan conspiracy to doctor the data without anyone leaking the fact that it was doctored.
And, this would be your position if the shoe were on the other foot?
It would be. Because none of the people who compile this data over at BLS are Obama appointees, or appointees by anyone else, mind you.
You would have to keep every one of the 15 economists involved silent on the conspiracy, plus all the people that work for them.
in order for a conspiracy to work, you either have to have a lot of very loyal people in on it, or a very small number of people with motivation not to say anything.
Neither of those situations are the case here.
1. "You would have to keep every one of the 15 economists involved silent on the conspiracy,..."
That may or may not be true.
2. "It would be.[the same opinion]"
I have no reason not to believe you.
What I'm getting at is the kind of arguments I've seen when the a tobacco company provides funding for studies that deny the dangers of second hand smoke.
Or oil companies that fund studies that downplay global warming.
I'm going to continue to believe that both the proximity to the election, and the evidence that folks at BLS support Obama in a large financial way are enough to give one pause.
Don't you agree?
