under Krasnov?

The BLS can only work with the numbers it gets, I get it, how long will BLS remain independent under Krasnov?

Look what Krasnov has been trying to do with the Fed. he has been fighting to get rid of Jerome Powell so that regardless of the data he demands that interest rates be lowered to zero in order to crash the dollar. Good on Jerome to stand tall but there will be a new chair come May and I hope that Jerome stays on.

The Fed does a lot more than set interest rates, it regulates banks also. Krasnov can do a lot of damage to our country if he abolishes the independency of the BLS and the Fed.
