Are you willing to lay the problems in theory, or problems with personnel? Or problems with groupthink in the BLS and government?

What I've heard is that the BLS had more of an explicitly Marxist founding, which still persists culturally. That's why a more neutral organization was created, the Bureau of Economic Analysis, to do less biased work.

If it is a government agency or department, it has the same problems due to the “long march through the institutions”. The communists have taken over most of the institutions, especially for the analysis of economic data. BTW, I think Keynes was a communist and his General Theory is just a justification for totalitarian states.
