I've worked closely with Erika. I know of no economist who is more data-focused & devoted to truth in statistics. She never shied from speaking truth to power when the data were disappointing. Nothing would be worse for US credibility than political meddling in our economic data.

You're the Treasury Secretary, not the Fed Chair. If you want to do something about inflation within your power you could get rid of the damned tariffs. But that would require you to grow a spine and stand up to Trump.
