President Joe Biden had some good economic news last week. The American economy added 353,000 new jobs, nearly twice what many people predicted. Previous months’ job gains were also revised upward, and for a change, it wasn’t government jobs that were leading the advances. Wages grew faster than expected. Consumer spending was strong.
Simply put, they were really, really good economic numbers.
Biden also had some horrible political news last week. A new poll had his overall approval rating at 37 percent, the lowest of his term. He trailed former President Donald Trump by 20 points on who was best able to handle the economy; the gap was more than 30 points on the issue of controlling the border. Trump even leads Biden by 16 points on who is more “competent and effective.”
Simply put, they were really, really horrid numbers.

If it’s about the economy, it is all fake numbers that will be “revised” in the next couple of months. And the revision is almost always downward.
Don’t pee on my leg and tell me it is raining.
The job numbers may or may not be real but workers are still at least 8 points in the hole between take home pay and inflation. And it isn’t only prices. Inflation is killing credit card holders. Payments being made in 2020 that were quickly paying down balances now barely cover the minimum payment due. Meaning there’s less money in the till for the family while prices are higher. This may not show up in the DoL’s stzts but the people know the reality.
And that most of those jobs went to foreign born workers.
A steak is now 51 Dollars, but the Economy is fine.
They are jobs in the IRS office and social workers.
Mulvaney has been hitting that crack pipe waaaay too hard if he thinks the economy is in good shape.
Business Insider (Liberal Insider) had an article the other day, writing about how hard it is to find a job in today’s economy.
The people they profiled had been looking for work for several years and had applied to 100’s of jobs and interviewed with quite a few.
Most of the jobs required them to interview 4 or more times before deciding not to hire them.
If companies can be that picky it is not a good economy, no matter how much the propaganda media bloviates.
Mulvaney is a liar.
The author may have written the article, but it was more than likely from an outline provided by the DNC.
