September jobs report

Did I say the Dems created COVID?

You said the Dems were fixing a “mess” that they created. Pretty sure Covid played a central role in inflation, and not Dems.

Just trying to understand your hot takes. Which can admittedly be a challenge.

Another year-over-year sales record for Mrs. Torbee's company this month too.

Manufacturing and construction are humming along nicely.
Good…now you can take those profits and sponsor some illegal migrants. 😉

Yes, the Dems response(s) to COVID partially contributed to inflation as did many of their other policies.

I mean: Trump was in office when 2 out of the 3 stimulus packages were passed. And he was also president in 2019-2020 when…you know….Covid occurred.

Seems that it’s been the Dems fixing messed left over from previous administrations. It’s actually a common theme. I’m sure you’d be shocked to learn.
 
Finance at the doctor's office:

DR: "Good news, your blood pressure is 120/80"

FIN: "Oh no! I must not be working hard enough, with proper stress I should be at 150/90!"

DR: "Well at least your cholesterol is under 200"

FIN: "Dammit! That just means I can't afford red meat and fine bourbon. More bad news!"

DR: "Um, ok. Good news on the blood glucose level, you are completely normal."

FIN: "And more awful news! If I had pre-diabetes I'd be motivated to exercise and eat right, now you have forced me to be unhealthier!"
I just posted the actual report. Sorry if your X source is misleading.
Slightly less funny when you realize that Finance is actually a senior with diabetes. His brain ain't the only thing that's been fading.
Personal attacks for posting from the actual report. It's sad that a senior, with normal A1C for the last few years, has the ability to actually seek out the facts instead of relying on misleading tweets.
 
Just looked today...my retirement account just reached it's highest point since I retired 7 years ago.

Another missed prediction from the Orange ShitStain.

And it can buy 25% less than it could when biden took office.
Great huh.

By what measures do you consider it strong?
Unemployment at 4.1% by any measure that is strong.

Compared to pre-pandemic, purchasing power of Americans is higher (we can’t compare prices to pandemic times, you have already confirmed that).

Economy growing GDP at 2-3.5% again those are very strong numbers.

Now we are coming more to equilibrium in the jobs market so we should have more normalization on the jobs reports and not blowouts like this one.

Well this is one of the more pathetic posts I've seen in awhile, but it worked: you have my sypmathy, I apologize for punching down.
 
And the job recovery happened after that, including when Biden was POTUS. He doesn't get credit for creating jobs that were simply recovered as shutdowns ended.

So he gets blame for inflation but no credit for the recovery?

He gets no credit for creating more jobs than were lost? So those 5 million or so jobs above the pre-pandemic high, he gets no credit for?

He gets not credit for solid GDP?

He gets no credit for having one of the best recoveries of the G-20?

Does he get any credit for anything or just all the blame?

Recovery? A fricking monkey could have started the recovery. The US economy was a rocket ship on the launch pad post covid.

Yes, all the above. Crazy Lying Filthy Don took credit for a beautiful economy that Obama left him.

Gas, grocery, insurance, and housing costs are still too high and that’s not a “narrative”. 🤔
Coworker living in NY got a quote for over $900 a month from State Farm. State Farm agent told her to shop around.
 
Really?
Record 401 hardship withdrawals , govt debt and ccard debt.
For the past 20 years and even before that, pretty much every year is record government debt. Not sure that is a traditional measure. Unemployment is low, inflation is back to "normal", stock market has had a great year, wages are up. All those measures are traditional measures used to gauge the economy and they are all very positive right now.
 
Not sure if the OP watched any television over the weekend, but Republicans aren't talking about inflation anymore. It's wall to wall ads about trans kids here in Iowa.

They also haven't been talking about the stock market for the last year or so either. That used to be one of their go to cries. trump told them the market would go bust if Biden was elected, so they hung on to that one for a long time.

Valid point.
Lets change it to debt as % of gdp.

Numbers have declined every year since peaking with Trump in 20.

 
It’s one of the many reasons politics suck. Party over country. I felt the same when democrats did it while trump was president.
What actions did the Democrats take during the Trump years that were specifically designed to tank the economy. Because I can name multiple times Republicans did that. You can start with every time they forced a government shutdown over stupid shit.

Wonder what caused 2020?
Years after are way above normal.

Gee…the debt incurred during the pandemic doesn’t magically disappear when the pandemic ended. You might notice that Trump’s two years prior to the pandemic saw the ratio rise from 97.69% to 100.81%. So…sure…let’s stick with your metric.

Median income, taking into account inflation is higher than it was in 2019. Inflation after the Covid distortion is back to normal levels. The Biden administration walked a tightrope and was able to maintain full employment without crashing the economy to contain inflation. It's a hell of an accomplishment. The predicted "depression" from the likes of you never came close to occurring.

Prices aren't coming back down to pre-covid levels, and LOL that a 2nd Trump administration would have prevented the inflation that occurred the last 4 years. What's particularly irritating about the pretense of Trump supporters that if Trump is elected again he'll wave a magic wand on 1/20/2025 and restore prices to 2019 is that Trump's proposed economic policy agenda is pretty certain to reignite inflation.

We need to stay the course with Biden/Harris economic policies.

Really, maybe the only pleasure to come out of a 2nd Trump administration would be dumb ass MAGA's a couple years from now wondering why prices keep going up (maybe even faster than the last couple of years of Biden!) even with their miracle worker in the White House who was supposed to make them go DOWN to 2019 levels.
