If there's one constituency they'll somewhat listen to, it's Wall Street, and Wall Street really really really wants economic numbers they can trust.

Plus, I think they'll mess with things like unemployment rates before gdp, especially now when everyone is expecting minimal growth for q1.

More likely is maybe a year from now, the numbers start showing a big recovery when reality doesn't suggest that at all....
