Those pesky numbers

Last month the U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistics reported that employment was down. The president took immediate and decisive action: He fired the person in charge of the bureau.

This month the BLS again reported that employment was down. There is, of course, only one sensible course of action: The president needs to immediately fire the person he just appointed last month.

And he will need to keep doing this until the numbers go the way he wants them to. I wonder how many months in a row he will need to keep firing people until those pesky numbers finally get it right.
