After months of being told the economy was a long way off from recovery, the recent data in job gains for the month of October caused Axios to rethink some of those gloom-and-doom predictions.

Of course, now with the liberal media declaring the election over, it would make sense for them to concede just how formidable President Donald Trump’s economy really was.

As Axios tells it, “This week America witnessed a forecasting failure of almost unprecedented magnitude.” The outlet continued: “October's unemployment rate came in at 6.9%, after dozens of the best-paid and most experienced economic forecasters in the world had predicted the number would come in at 7.7%.”

The forecasters “had literally millions of data points of information to go on, and have had ample experience with unemployment releases, which come out like clockwork on the first Friday of every month,” according to Axios. But, as the outlet concluded: “[T]here will be no great post-mortem about why they got the number so wrong.” [Emphasis added.]

Rethinking it because of the election being over. Previously it was propaganda.

I remember in 1992 the media spent months talking about how terrible the economy was. After the election, they admitted that the economy had actually been improving for 6 months. It was all part of their effort to get Bill Clinton elected.

The Biden Recovery is going to be epic. He and Obama laid all the groundwork for it 2009-2016.

POTUS DJT gave us the greatest economy in history, energy independence, a V shaped recovery, and a vaccine.

I look forward to better results in his 2nd term.

If the unthinkable happens and the RINOs turn on PDJT45, we should all be keeping score on how a Joke Bidet Madministration furks up everything they inherited. Day by day.

There’s so much enthusiasm for Joke Bidet, many centenarians rose from their graves to vote for him.

Speaking of the economy, check out this headline on the Washington Post Youtube channel.

“Stocks Soar Following Biden Victory And Vaccine News”

Not a single word during Trump’s term about soaring record stock markets and all of a sudden, Biden’s getting credit.I went there to ream them out but of course comments are turned off for this video. Don’t know if that’s standard practice for all their vids or not.
