“So this dolt actually believes we’ve been adding two million jobs a year? “
We might be, at McDonalds...and they’re all part time. “We’ve added X million jobs” is a meaningless thing, especially when they’re replacing old jobs anyhow. The real stats are how many people are unemployed, and how many are underemployed (a giant problem today).
“And who does his grocery shopping for him? Or does the American Enterprise Institute have a subsidized or free commissary like politburo members used to avail themselves of?”
Yes, food and energy inflation have been the worst, and are conveniently ignored by current government statistical methods - hence ShadowStats.
The most ironic thing is that this government, supposedly for the “little guy” has implemented policies that really flatten the “little guy”, and almost entirely benefit the 1%. The only “little guy” that’s done OK is the one with no job that’s not retired. Food stamps have increased by 30% due to inflation (lol) but social security has only gone up by 1% or so. It’s disgraceful.
Even if you exclude all of that, job growth has struggled to keep up with population growth. Labor force participation rate is at about a 4 decade low right now.
