Some Democratic member of Congress should propose a bill saying that a POTUS may golf at government expense no more than, say, once every 14 days, and must reimburse the Treasury for anything beyond that.
A couple of golf outings could pay for over 300 federal jobs for an entire year.
So…..fraud and waste? Eh?!?!

excellent information but this only accounts for half of the month of February and the numbers are skewed from the beginning of the seasonal hiring season. but the stark farming numbers will be dark and different in comparison to years past. ie these are recession type numbers.
Payrolls rose +151k in Feb, and unemployment ticked up to 4.1%. There's not much news in revisions of past months. All of this is broadly in line with expectations.
This is a fundamentally healthy labor market, continuing its earlier momentum, albeit at a slightly slower pace.
