Asked to Explain Jobs “Saved or Created,” Biden Says “Not An Economist”
Asked to explain the administration’s phony “150,000 jobs saved or created” statistic by a reporter on a conference call, Vice President Slow Joe Biden replied that it was “above his pay grade” (sounds familiar) to understand the figure and reminded reporters…

Economic Reporting, Then and Now
