Government Data Can’t Be Trusted—No Matter Who’s in the White House

Bill Brocius Aug 7, 25

A New Administration, Same Old Lies

Last week, President Trump made headlines after firing the head of the Bureau of Labor Statistics just hours after a disappointing jobs report hit the wires. His claim? That the Biden-appointed commissioner, Dr. Erika McEntarfer, was cooking the books to protect Democrats and undermine his administration.

Cue the outrage machine. Corporate media outlets accused Trump of "undermining trust" in government data. Bureaucrats circled the wagons, insisting that the BLS is “nonpolitical,” “independent,” and composed of “rigorous statisticians” who wouldn’t dream of slanting the truth.

Don’t buy it.

I’m not here to defend Trump’s timing—or his tactics. I’m here to remind you of a hard truth: the government lies about the economy all the time—under every administration. Whether it's Obama, Trump, Biden, or whoever comes next, the system is engineered to deceive.

Smoke, Mirrors, and Jobs That Don’t Exist

Let’s look at the jobs numbers.

Every month, the Bureau of Labor Statistics drops a headline-grabbing jobs report. The big media outlets blast it across their front pages. If the numbers look good, politicians take a victory lap—claiming their policies are fueling growth.

But here's the catch: those glowing numbers often get revised—downward—weeks later. And by then, no one’s paying attention.

This shell game has happened dozens of times in the last few years. During the Biden administration, month after month, the BLS touted strong job creation... only to quietly revise the numbers lower after the headlines faded. That’s not a statistical fluke. That’s narrative management.

And it’s not just a Democrat problem. Even after Biden left office, the same suspicious pattern has continued. Which tells us something even more disturbing: the manipulation isn’t partisan. It’s systemic.

How the Government Rigs the Economic Story

Let’s be clear: there’s no need to forge data outright when the system gives you so many tools to manipulate perception.

The government can artificially boost employment by spending tax dollars to hire more bureaucrats.
It can inflate GDP simply by borrowing and spending more money.
And the Federal Reserve? It’s been papering over economic rot for over a decade by printing trillions out of thin air—flooding credit markets with fake liquidity.

This isn’t just “policy.” It’s monetary fraud. It props up asset bubbles, inflates consumer prices, and kicks the can down the road—straight toward you, the saver, the worker, the retiree.

And now we’re staring down the barrel of the fallout.

The Pain Is Already Baked In

The economic damage was locked in years ago—first with the bailouts after the housing collapse, then with the pandemic spending bonanza, and now with reckless tariffs, endless debt, and an insolvent banking system.

The elite know what’s coming. They just need someone else to blame. If it’s Trump, they’ll say the tariffs did it. If it’s Biden again, they’ll find another scapegoat. But here’s what they won’t say:

This crisis was caused by a broken political class and their enablers in the Federal Reserve.

They lied to you with cooked data, fake prosperity, and manipulated interest rates. And when the collapse comes, they’ll act shocked—while you’re left holding the bag.
