\nWASHINGTON \u2013 The Council of Economic Advisers got help from some superheroes assembling this year\u2019s Economic Report of the President.
Listed among the interns who helped compile the 711-page document released this week by the White House were Bruce Wayne, Peter Parker, Aunt May, Steve Rogers, John Cleese, John Snow and Kathryn Janeway.
Snow is a character from the popular HBO series \u201cGame of Thrones,\u201d while Cleese is a famous actor. Janeway is the name of Kate Mulgrew\u2019s character on the \u201cStar Trek: Voyager\u201d franchise.
From the Marvel Universe comes Rogers \u2014 better known as Captain America \u2014 as well as Peter Parker and Aunt May, from the Spider-Man comic books.
Wayne is the alter ego of DC Comics\u2019 Batman.
The name J. T. Hutt, which appeared on the list, was seemingly shorthand for the \u201cStar Wars\u201d character Jabba the Hutt.
President Trump received a briefing on the report Monday morning.
The CEA\u2019s Twitter account said the famous names were added to the report purposely.
\u201cThank you for noticing, our interns are indeed super heroes! We\u2019ve thought so all along, but we knew it\u2019d take a little more to get them the attention they deserve. They have made significant contributions to the Economic Report of the President and do so every day at CEA,\u201d a tweet from @WhiteHouseCEA read.
\u201cWho said economics has to be a dismal science?\u201d the thread continued. \u201cDid folks really think this was a mistake?!? That would never have made it past our fact-checkers \u2014 who, in fact, include our interns!\u201d<\/p>\n
