EJ Antony, the unanimous of the united states, Donald Trump’s labor statistical bureaur, has been caused by the criticism of the agency who manufactures the job and inflation data in the country.
Antoni was the main economist Here is a far-reaching wish of a think tank created for the then advanced Trump-or the next Republican Chairman of the Conservative Heritage Foundation and Project 225.
His choice threatens to bring a new level to the manufacturer of financial health measurements of the country, which has been widely regarded as a non -parician and reliable agency for decades, for decades.
“Trump has nominated a psychopath to tell him what he wants to hear. Do not make any mistake: This choice is a clear attack on independent analysis that will have far -reaching consequences for the credibility of the US financial statistics,” former president Joe Biden said.
Many officials in the labor department say Says say that the Antony is unlikely to be able to distort or replace data in the short term, it can change the path of dry-water currently presented.
After the Bureau of Labor Statistics (BLS) announced the job report on August 1, Trump was nominated by Trump in which it was found that the rent was weakened in July and the agency was much less than the previous news. Trump had made data for political reasons, for political reasons, and removed the then BLS Chair, Erica McCenter.
“The officials are directly away from the dictatorial playbook to say that the rule is slipping to the rule. This is an attempt to try to mislead the American people, avoid accounting for their failure, and rewrite history,” said Venetus Williamson, a senior colleague at the Urban-Breaking Tax Policy Center.
Antoni comes as a nomination Trump continued to rotate fabrications Gas prices are lower than them in the entire American financial statistics, and egg prices have dropped by 400 percent – this is an impossible person of mathematics.
Government data critic
Antony has repeatedly attended the Podcast and cable TV and is a commentator for the government’s job data. For someone who can lead the BLS, his biased commentary is unusual.
August August, a week before he was nominated, Antony said in an interview with Fox News Digital that the labor department should stop publishing the monthly job report without improving the data collection process and relying on the quarterly data based on real employment fileing with state unemployment offices.
Monthly Employment Report is often the closest view on Wall Street, and can often swing at stock prices.
Asked if a job report would be announced in the White House briefing on Tuesday, Press Secretary Carolin Levit said the administration expressed hope.
“I believe this is a plan and that is the hope,” said Live.
Livit defended Antony’s nomination and called him a “financial expert” who testified to the Congress and added that “the President believes him of leading this important department.”
Yet the appearance of Antony’s TV and Podcast has created a portrait of a conservative thinker, instead of careful economists, instead of the mathematics of tradeoffs and priorities.
“There is nothing in his resume to suggest that his writing or his position is eligible for this position, except that he is always dealing with Trump to suit Trump to some extent,” said the Associated Press.
In the last year of Biden’s presidency that the economy has been in the recession since 2022, Antony has falsely claimed; He urged the entire Federal Reserve Board to be removed because he did not get a profit on the Treasury Securities Holding; And posted a chart on social media, which was jointly 15 percent of the timeline to indicate inflation.
During the recession, the United States had rested on the exaggerated measurements of home inflation during the recession, the total home production of this country can be artificially smaller than that.
“This is probably the worst of the worst antiony material I have seen yet,” the Center-Right Tax Foundation’s Lan Lan Cole referred to the claim of his recession on social media.
At the podcast of 224, Antony wanted to make social security payments for the workers who paid the system in the system, “You need a generation of people who have paid social security tax, but in reality no one will benefit.” As the head of the BLS, the Antony will monitor the publication of the customer price index through which social security payments for inflation are adjusted.
Defective data
To some extent, many economists are worried that the government’s job statistics have errors and their surveys are threatened by trends such as reducing response rates. The drop has become more unstable due to job statistics, although over time is not less accurate.
“The stock market is clearly moving on the basis of the number of jobs and therefore the skin in the game is telling something about the future of their investment,” Albect said. “Can it improve? Completely.”
Catherine Abraham, an economist of Merland University, a BLS commissioner, led by President Bill Clinton, said that at least some initial investment would be needed to update the Job Report methods.
Governments like the statistics of the Perol processing companies and the distance between the surveys could use more modern data sources.
“It is an inconsistency to say that you want more response rates and you want to spend less money,” she said, referring to the administration’s proposals to reduce the BLS funds.
Nevertheless, Abraham and other former BLS commissioners do not think that Antony, will be able to change the statistics if confirmed. He can put pressure on the changes in the monthly press scientific and try to show the number in more positive light.
William Beach, who was appointed as the BLS commissioner in the first term and also worked under the leadership of Biden, said that BLS procedures are strong enough to prevent political interference. He said that two days before the publication of the Commissioner, he did not see the statistics two days before the publication.
“The Commissioner does not affect the number,” Beach said. “They do not collect data. They do not massage the data. They don’t organize it.”
Regarding the adverse to the number of numbers, the beach said, “I will not put it on a full zero, but I have kept it very close to zero.”
In July 2023, it took about six months after the mechanor was nominated for her approval. Antoine will face the rigorous opposition to the Democrats, but it may not be enough to bring them to the trap.
Washington’s senior Democrat Senate member Patty Murray on Tuesday criticized Antoine as a “ineligible right-wing terrorist” and demanded that Louisian Senate Health, Education, Liber and Pension Committee Chairman, Luizian Senate member Bill Cassidi.
