Schumer: People Have Negative View of Economy ‘Because They Remember’ How Things Were About a Year Ago
Breitbart ^ | 03/09/2024 | Ian hatchett

Posted on 03/09/2024 8:44:42 AM PST by ChicagoConservative27

On Friday’s broadcast of MSNBC’s “Morning Joe,” Senate Majority Leader Sen. Chuck Schumer (D-NY) stated that people have negative views of the economy “because they remember” how things were about a year ago under President Joe Biden.

Schumer said, “We had the greatest two years that we’ve had in a very long time, in terms of production for middle-class people, for American values.”

Later, co-host Joe Scarborough asked, “Let’s talk about the economy. … [W]e just got a new report in, breaking news, once again, job hiring blew past expectations…275,000 new jobs over the past month. You look at all the numbers, they’re historic, the best jobs numbers ever over the past three years, the jobless rate below 4% for the first time in 60 years, new business starts, up, as the President said, you look at manufacturing, up. I’m curious, you’ve been in politics a long time, how long does it take for the reality to catch up with the expectation?”

A year ago Schumer was saying the economy was doing great.

Chuck Schumer knows ‘the people’ are too stupid to understand their own lives...

A worthless POS like himself being in the senate and still living off the government teat is ample proof.

People gave a negative view of the economy because they live in America and don't see all these rosy numbers reflected in their lives. Most Americans don't see the 600,000 new jobs that the government added in the past year, a full fiscal quarter's worth of reported jobs gains.

At least two more months of reported new jobs in the past 12 months were erased through later downward revisions, which means nobody trying to pay attention to the mumbers really even knows what the real numbers are.

I think a strong case can be made that the entire system the Bureau of Labor Statistics uses is, at best, a politically biased propaganda agency used to prop up the stock market and democrat politicians. A less charitable explaination would involve currency manipulation and a government-supported effort to defraud stockholders on a worldwide scale, but that's proabbly a little hard to prove.

***The Democrat Party counts on people having short memories.***

How true. But I have a very long memory.
Four years ago a 50 lb bag of dog food cost $20.
Then in the Biden years..
NEW! LARGER SIZE! 4 MORE POUNDS FOR A TOTAL OF 44 LB!

So the 50 lb bag was now more at 44 lb. and the price was now $29.00

ALL the ORIGINAL reported numbers in each week are fake.

REVISIONS are NEVER reported openly.

I remember back in the 1980s. A reporter asked a man who he was going to vote for for Senator.
He said “Ted Kennedy.”
Reporter: “Why are you going to vote for him?”
Voter: stunned thought and then asked his wife...”Why are we voting for Ted Kennedy?”

Wife: “Because we always have!”

GOTCHA-—

Have been buying dog food in large bags since 1966-—anywhere from 1-3 dogs at a time.

When Trump was in office-—Wal Mart house brand-—OLD ROY kibble was 40 cents a pound.

NOW 59 cents a pound

There, fixed.

Also, he should have netted out additions to gov't employment that we added to gov't payrolls to make Biden look "less terrible".

Never did I think that someday I would look back to the Carter years and think *the good ole’ days,* and behold that time has come.

And you know the day that Trump takes office the rats/MSM will blame the pathetic economy on him.

I wonder when is the last time Chuckie paid for gas out of his own pocketbook? Does he even drive a car?

When’s the last time Chuckie had to pay for groceries out of his own pocketbook?

People like that live in a cozy comfy bubble and sometimes their “Let ‘em eat cake” vibe shows up.

The illegals must be on buying sprees with their new found Schumer/Biden Democrat gifts of taxpayer dollars.
