The irony of people like this misinterpreting government data as they orchestrate and cheer on a change in government.

What government data did they misinterpret?

They correctly stated that the job numbers always get revised down not up.

They also correctly stated that the GDP growth in the last quarter was largely driven by government spend, and if you take out the private sector, there was little growth.

The entire article is pointing out quite clearly that this, in fact, not correct.

This is also demonstrably false with like 5 minutes of research. This is all a matter of public record https://www.bls.gov/web/empsit/cesnaicsrev.htm

But if you already believe it the facts can still support it even if they are wrong. They feel right.
