Small businesses hemorrhaged 120,000 jobs last month. Are we great yet?

Yet more evidence that the right is entirely incompetent when it comes to the economy.

... payrolls processing firm ADP reported Wednesday ...

Before Pres Trump fired the BLS leader because he did not like the numbers reported (I summarize), the ADP job reports were not rewarded to be appropriate.

Why?

Maybe because they ADP reports are only private, i.e., non-governmental payrolls.

And, another question, does ADP process all non--government payrolls?

So, taking a step back, what do the ADP numbers actually represent?

Aside from a number to to cite because the BLS cannot provide the better number?

And if the BLS does, the BLS leader gets fired?

The ADP numbers are the best estimate we can get right now since Dementia Don decided to turn the BLS into a propaganda department to hide his incompetence.

Trump will do a national tour to convince unemployed people that they are working.

I wonder what kind of pressure Republicans are putting on ADP to lie about Trump's failing economy.

Gee, I wonder why our economic experts aren't here defending the economic policies they voted for...

The title would be more accurate if it was titled "trump's cratering country."
