Not at all. I was making the same arguments against liberals when Bush was President.OK I work for the government I control the process collecting and releasing the data do you take my word?
Well, if that's true then you're lying about your location which makes me question your truthfulness. And since you've displayed zero understanding of statistics, economics, or the numbers, it seems very unlikely (especially since collection and releasing are two seperate agencies).
And since I do know the people who process and release the data (though I've never been one) and meet with them several times a year, I know for a fact you're not telling the truth.
See, actual data points relevant to the particular topic that lead to the conclusion of untrustworthiness. This does not mean you lie about everything all the time nor does it mean you don't know your actual job very well.
So you wouldn't take my word on the numbers but you will take the word of the government who is run by a person that is running for re-election? Just how partisan are you?
And I don't take your word because I have EVIDENCE (that nast word) that you are not truthful about this. I do not have any evidence that BLS is not being truthful and I have evidence that they are.
See, it's a matter of EVIDENCE, not word.
