Corrupting economic statistics will change our economic reality. Here's how: Tariffs raise prices. Social Security is indexed to inflation. If Trump tells a partisan BLS head to downplay inflation, seniors' social security checks won't keep up. Rigged stats = stolen benefits.

He's never run a Bureau, has no expertise about Labor, and has no expertise in Statistics, suggesting that merit has nothing to do with Trump's decision to nominate him to lead the Bureau of Labor Statistics.

I expect there will be soul-searching, an investigation, and recriminations, as the White House explores how its negotiators fell $600 billion short of the deal the President thought he had struck. Resignations seem likely, and a re-think of the entire deal-making apparatus.

The lifetime return to college remains enormous: four years of study adds more than a million dollars to expected earnings. And that yields a funny conclusion that I like to remind my students about: It may not feel like it, but these might be the highest earning years of your

For the benefit of those at the back of the room in the red hats who despite all our best efforts to explain Americans and NOT foreign exporters are paying the Trump tariffs. Let’s try once again with the help of an economist (Justin Wolfers ), who is not a convicted felon, has
