Joe Biden’s Bureau of Labor Statistics reported that over a million jobs were created in the second quarter, a heartening statistic that no doubt helped the Democrats in November. But now, the Philadelphia Federal Reserve says that those million jobs were almost entirely fictitious:
The Biden administration vastly overstated its estimate that employers created more than 1 million jobs in the second quarter of this year, claiming historic job growth when in fact hiring had stalled, according to a new estimate.
Job growth was “essentially flat” in the second quarter with only 10,500 jobs added, the Federal Reserve Bank of Philadelphia said.

"Vastly overstate" = lied. Democrats have no morals or ethics.

Well, they had to win back the 500 million jobs per month Pelosi said would be lost without Hussein's stimulus™.

RINOs will snort a bit but quickly return to the green grass provided by their Democrat keepers. Outrage about this hideous misuse of a supposedly non-partisan agency of government will be forgotten in a week.

The FDA lies to us.
The CDC lies to us.
The WH spokesidiot lies to us.
The president lies to us.
The Enemedia lies to us.
The FBI lies to us.
The Bureau of Labor Statistics lies to us, by HUGE amounts.
ALL of the US government is liars. Nothing that any government official says will be the truth.
And they wonder why we don't trust them.

Lies, lies and more lies. At this point, what difference does it really make? If you believe anything that Washington tells you, you are a total fool. Are the people around you, family and friends even the slightest bit concerned? If they are, they are in a minority. It's not that people are stupid, but rather that they are subconsciously terrified to "check the facts" and see how far this nation has fallen.

Can't these Democrats find in themselves the power to tell the truth? A propaganda tool of the left has been taken down i.e. Twitter, so it seems they might want to consider being truthful for a change..

Start defending these agencies that cannot tell the truth. If they give phony statistics, what difference will less funding mean?

Everyone who wanted a job had one before the China created COVID-19 virus hit the USA, which severely disrupted the country including the job market and all sorts of industries. That caused millions of American workers to leave their jobs and the labor market. That situation was supercharged by the US Government passing greatly enhanced unemployment compensation and all sorts of welfare payouts that in many cases are still occurring where a lot of people can earn more on the government dole than if they went back to their jobs. If anyone were to look closely at the Biden crew’s job numbers, chances are it will be found that most of the “new” jobs that they are claiming they created are jobs that actually existed before the COVID pandemic that are now being refilled by the workers who originally held them before the COVID pandemic.

Didn't Obama officially approve of Propaganda?
The real question, why did the Fed act as they did when they knew it was bogus?

Give them credit - they did create 1 million new jobs - where it mattered, in the minds of the voters. Now that reality is what exists in the minds of the journalists, that is the only 'real' place. That reality created the reality we live in today. Who cares if people we don't know really got jobs, at least the way of life we are afraid of will continue. The new rallying cry is "Stumble on!"

We already know how Biden & his cronies count such as with those 81M voters who elected him! Nothing new with the liberal math as they all took that convoluted Common Core math with teachers who shoved them along irregardless if they learned anything besides how to con people. Now we have fools like the South Bend dude calling the shots. Biden;s entire administration is full of them- twisted rejects who claim they know it all .
