I would like to see some figures for what the election of PDJT has done for other economies.....specifically Canada where the trade connection between the two countries means that the totally useless True-dope just migbt get re-elected with a majority by riding on the coat tails of the great economic improvements that PDJT has brought.....and True-dope had nothing to do with it.
If you count Food Stamps as “jobs,” then Obama is clearly the winner.
“Shovel ready” jobs that never existed, or appeared.
And remember, many people who had previously had full time employment became part time after obamacare but they were counted as full employment.
Shovel ready jobs were counted even though they didn’t exist.
Baraq cost the loss of thousands of jobs in the oil industry, but those weren’t counted. Fly over country stuff.
He started with a lie so you cannot believe anything else he writes about.
Sorry, I don’t believe ANY JOB STATISTICS put out by the Baronk Obama administration. Those people lied about so many things, I sure don’t believe this.
I thought most of Obummers jobs were part-time, temporary or seasonal types. Hardly the type of job youd call a career.
Anyone making that claim is some combination of dishonest, lazy and ignorant.
Maybe if we were talking about full year GDP, but this kind of nonsense is enough to invalidate the rest of his article.
It obviously wasn't the peak because it's still going.
Trump does have to deal with higher interest rates but he also had a hugely stimulative, deficit-fueled tax cut and spending spree.
That’s why they had to call performance under Obama , the “New Norm” - so people wouldn’t get hopeful that things could not only get better, but get great....then along comes Donald....
In a normal economic cycle, 2016 would have been the peak, which was why the stock market had been trending down before the election. Ergo, the entire run since then has been all Trump
Otherwise, a job as a barista counts the same as a job as a brain surgeon. Clearly, the relative worth added to the economy is quite different, and that difference would be reflected in the difference in incomes.
OTOH a job as a barista is - a job. If thats your aspiration - or a necessary interim step towards your actual aspiration - it is as important to you as some MD getting a high paying gig is to him/her. And that matters to society.All very well, BTW, to say that there are more jobs open than there are unemployed people to fill them. Thats great, but it doesnt mean what it seems on face value. In the real world a million job openings for brain surgeons doesnt help the guy whos glad to get a job as a barista.
IMHO the bottom line is that there is always infinite opportunity - for people with (even relatively) unlimited talents. There are people who have a knack for finding a way to be useful, and for whom unemployment is something theyve heard of but never really experienced. And then there are people who, as the Democrats put it, dont want to work.
And then there are people whose skills obsolesce - when a steel mill closes, etc. And who are neither in the former category nor the latter. They deeply want and diligently prepared themselves for work, on the one hand - and, OTOH, adaptation to changed circumstances is challenging for them. People do get to be 55 and 60 years old . . .
As much as I hate the halfrican, mooselimb, communist, prick he did have quarters of over 3%, but he never had a year of 3% or better. That was the first time ever for a two term President.
Since nobody enjoyed this raunchy flatulence last July they decided to pass it again this week. We’re probably going to see this again.
