Wow, from the Times. Things must be so good even they can’t avoid reporting it. The WaPo has it too. And Yahoo. Let’s hope this keeps up for 2 more years. Full steam.

And the Times wants us to vote for candidates that will bring all this to a screeching halt.

■ 250,000 jobs were added last month. Wall Street analysts had expected an increase of about 195,000. With Obama it was ALWAYS the other way around. Jobs were LESS than expected, and you ALWAYS had those bas*ards cooking the books, so they would revise the numbers DOWN a month later when no one noticed.

Somebody should add this comment at the NYT story, “Trump’s fault!”

Even CNN is carrying the story on their front page. Their graphic says “Job growth under Trump”. This story is placed amidst all the anti-Trump propaganda. :-)

Are they still figuring it the same old way, in which those who drop out of the work force but are working age and able bodied are not counted as unemployed?

If I’m reading that chart correctly, government got smaller in September but more than made up for it in October. I want to see that shrink a bit every month!

WOW.

Things are going pretty well. It would be a shame if the American people took power away from those that gave this to us and handed it to those that would tear everything down around them.

Surely they wouldn’t be that stupid.....right?

unless you’re unemployed, then the unemployment rate is 100%.

Additionally, news reports were always preceded by the word “unexpected”. It became a joke.

You just answered your own question..ONLY brain damaged idiots vote Democrat. My aunt used to be a hard core Dem, voted for Clinton in 2008, voted for Obama in 2012..she said she is DONE with the Democrat Party, she doesn’t recognize them anymore, she is voting straight Republican here in SoCal, she said she never imagined she would ever vote Republican
