Superhero Fake Interns at the Council of Economic Advisers?

Bruce Wayne, CEA intern?

This past week, the Council of Economic Advisers released its 2019 absurdly optimistic economic forecasts in the "Economic Report of the President." (SEE: 'Economic Report of the President': Projections Way Out of Line With Other Forecasters).

Careful readers of the report found curious names such as Bruce Wayne listed as interns at the CEA according to the end of the report.

The Economic Report of the President has revealed that the quality of interns at CEA is much better than it was when I was there....we never got cool ones like Steve Rogers, Bruce Wayne, Peter Parker, Aunt May, and John Cleese pic.twitter.com/qELM2729os

The CEA has responded:

Did folks really think this was a mistake?!? That would never have made it past our fact-checkers -- who, in fact, include our interns!

Wonderful, fake intern names for a report with fake growth projections, fact-checked by the interns. This is how serious they take things in-house under CEA Chairman Kevin "Baghdad Bob" Hassett.

 It's time to call in the Terminator and close the CEA.
