I think it's because we're in the last days before the big crash and nobody with any kind of a future wants to take the blame when the shit hits the fan which won't be long now.

David Stockman explains:
"It doesn’t get any cleaner than this. No matter how the White House, the Fed and the fawning financial press cherry pick the “incoming data” you flat-out can’t say the US economy is “strong” when the growth of the inflation-adjusted pay envelope of 161 million workers has deflated to the vanishing point. Indeed, it has literally been dead in the water for the last 52 months running."

It’s a comment about the present administration and how the media tries hard to make them look good.
