The U.S. economy hemorrhaged manufacturing jobs in August despite the Biden administration’s attempt to boost the industry with hundreds of billions of dollars in subsidies.
The number of people employed in manufacturing in the U.S. fell by 24,000 in August, with the industry down 14,000 jobs year-over-year... Altogether, manufacturing employment has grown just 0.3% ...
“All of the Biden-Harris administration claims on job creation are essentially false,” Peter Earle, a senior economist at the American Institute for Economic Research, told the DCNF. “Most of the rise in employment they are taking responsibility for are actually just jobs slowing returning after being destroyed by pandemic policies — most of all, lockdowns....

Can’t be true. Just saw Joe and Kamala touting the huge number of manufacturing jobs they created. No pushback from the media fact checkers, so it must be true, right? /s
Sadly, the idiots in the public buy this crap.
Subsidies are just another vehicle for massive fraud.
"While the August jobs report showed the country gained over 168,000 employed workers in the last month, it’s not what it seems. Most of these jobs were part-time, with 527,000 gained in August, while Americans lost almost 500,000 full-time positions.
"To dive in even further, over 1.2 million native-born Americans lost full-time positions in the past year. At the same time, foreign-born workers, who we now know are predominantly illegal immigrants, gained 1.2 million jobs during that same time."
Gee government can help production but forget about customers not buying since we are BROKE!
$100’s of billions in subsidies goes indirectly into the pockets of the DC political pukes who supported those subsidies. It’s called looting the public purse and those in DC are professionals at it and they do it all of the time.
Thought he told everyone to learn to code
Trump showed how it is done. Are these people stupid?
But China is booming with manufacturing jobs. A big American Company that makes a lot of Refrigeration parts just moved their factory there, oh and we have Massive Failures of warranty replacements for the valves they make since the move.
Robbing America blind and giving it to communist cronies is not going to boost manufacturing.
The subsidies are just patronage, nothing productive despite the rhetoric.
Let’s ask all the Elon fan-boys what wonderful things he is doing with billions in subsidies and gov mandates for EV’s.
Trying to sell a product no one wants; but still enough money to play with toy rockets.
His involvement in “X” and his Hannity-esque bloviating is just to distract from his role in the destruction of the entire US Auto sector.
My little shop was booming until the shut downs. Near a dozen people full time. Went to no employees after the shit downs. I slowly built it up to include more solo engineering, now that is drying up. Nothing is moving and I haven’t had any customers get work in two weeks with no sign of when they will need help.
I haven’t turned on any of my equipment in months. No one is doing anything anywhere I know until after the election.
YAY Biden Harris.
God help us if that commie is installed.
"Manufacturing Jobs Continue To Dwindle Despite Biden Admin Allocating Hundreds Of Billions In Subsidies [??? emphasis added]"
FR: Never Accept the Premise of Your Opponent’s Argument
Democratic and Republican Trump supporters are reminded that the drafters of the Constitution gave the “power of the purse” uniquely to Congress (House), not to the executive branch.
In other words, just as Congress did with likewise corrupt Obama, Congress, working in cahoots with the mainstream media, is now using puppet OBiden to front-end its unconstitutional, unaccountable, vote-winning spending in an election year.
Such spending is facilitated by Congress's ongoing abuse of its repealable 16th Amendment powers (direct taxes), career lawmakers undoubtedly hoping to keep desperate elite Democrats and RINOs in power by doing so.
"16th Amendment : The Congress shall have power to lay and collect taxes on incomes, from whatever source derived [emphasis added], without apportionment among the several States, and without regard to any census or enumeration."
"Congress is not empowered to tax for those purposes which are within the exclusive province of the States." —Justice John Marshall, Gibbons v. Ogden, 1824.
“If the tax be not proposed for the common defence, or general welfare, but for other objects, wholly extraneous, (as for instance, for propagating Mahometanism among the Turks, or giving aids and subsidies to a foreign nation, to build palaces for its kings, or erect monuments to its heroes,) it would be wholly indefensible upon constitutional principles [emphases added].” — Justice Joseph Story, Commentaries on the Constitution 2 (1833).
"Article I, Section 9, Clause 7: No Money shall be drawn from the Treasury, but in Consequence of Appropriations made by [reasonably constitutionally justifiable] Law; and a regular Statement and Account of the Receipts and Expenditures of all public Money shall be published from time to time [emphases added]."
The congressional record shows that Rep. John Bingham, a constitutional lawmaker, had clarified the federal government's constitutionally limited powers as follows.
”Simply this, that the care of the property, the liberty, and the life of the citizen, under the solemn sanction of an oath imposed by your Constitution, is in the States and not in the federal government [emphases added]. I have sought to effect no change in that respect in the Constitution of the country.” —John Bingham, Congressional. Globe. 1866, page 1292 (see top half of third column)
"From the accepted doctrine that the United States is a government of delegated powers, it follows that those not expressly granted, or reasonably to be implied from such as are conferred, are reserved to the states, or to the people. To forestall any suggestion to the contrary, the Tenth Amendment was adopted. The same proposition, otherwise stated, is that powers not granted are prohibited [emphasis added]." —United States v. Butler, 1936.
“Cherish, therefore, the spirit of our people, and keep alive their attention. If once they become inattentive to the public affairs, you and I, and Congress and Assemblies, judges and governors, shall all become wolves [emphasis added]. It seems to be the law of our general nature.” - Thomas Jefferson (Letter to Edward Carrington January 16, 1787)

Illegals are indeed getting immediate Social Security, contrary to Democrat claims (7.11.24)
Democrats [and RINOs] Are Terrified Of An Educated And Informed Public (3.12.23)
Since Congress and renegade states have repeatedly proven that they are enemies of the people imo, it is now up to Democratic and Republican Trump supporters to effectively "impeach and remove" ALL (exceptions?) state and federal lawmakers and executives in November.
In fact, it's up to us Trump supporters to take the first MAJOR step in draining the swamp by supporting Trump 47 with a new, Constitution-respecting Congress, new state lawmakers too, not only so that he will not be a lame duck president from the first day of his second term, but will support him to quickly finish draining the swamp.
Finally, let's not allow the anti-Trump media try to fade our memories of what we witnessed on July 13.
Down the Memory Hole: Google Hides Autocomplete Suggestions Related to Trump Assassination Attempt (7.28.24)
I have a friend who works for a between job ministry.
He told me that conditions are looking bad.
People who are looking for work are finding it harder and harder to find work.
The Biden administration has caused the closure of thousands of companies and or branches even causing the loss of work for his imported worker and Americans increased inflation.
The fifth column is no better than the party it took over.
The days of the so-called employee’s market are over. Get back to the office, don’t call in and work a solid 40+ hours a week like the Boomers did.
