Numbers. While fun, they don't mean much. None of this "economy" is resilient. I am so ready to let it all fall.
The numbers especially don't mean much as we near an election and remember that they were recently caught making the employment numbers look better than they were.

I agree. I also try to anticipate how the takeaway would change if the employment numbers are inflated again (or if one of the other metrics is artificially rosey).

I feel like they always play with the numbers. I am sure the election year kicks that up a notch.

Yeah, the most recent one was the largest downward revision ever, though.

Not surprising. Fist world is in a downward spiral.
