Biden shrugs off worst jobs report of his presidency; critics say he botched the economy

I thought Dems shut everything down. Pick a narrative already.

 

Trump didn’t turn around any numbers from the Obama presidency. The trend lines continued pretty much the same for a long time.

 

Yet another Disappointing Biden performance.

 

Yes, so disappointing……it was only THREE TIMES better than the former guy….!!

 

Except that’s not job creation. There is a difference between creating a job and opening a job up that you closed down artificially due to covid.

 

You and I and everyone with two brain cells to rub together knows that what you just described for trump was FULLY predicated upon states shutting down businesses due to covid and what you described for Brandon is a function of governors opening states back up from covid.

But keep trying to play that stupid little game. Because you got 3 years of this scrub left and his “governing” isn’t getting any better lol Opening states back up from covid won’t save him for the next three years lol

 

Biden has added exactly 0 jobs to the economy. He’s still attempting to get to more pandemic levels when millions of jobs were shut down artificially due to covid. Until he reaches that point, he’s added exactly zero jobs to the economy.

 

Let me say this again. Opening up the economy after artificially shutting it down does NOT equal job creation. In ANY way, shape or form.

 

well Trump did turn around the Obama trend, just in the wrong direction

Trump failed, the fed was bailing him out all along, dumping trillions into the economy pre-covid

 

Are you serious right now? Snotloller. He had the lowest unemployment EVER for blacks and Hispanics. And this wasn’t due to some BS reopening of the economy after an artificial shutdown. He had some of the best economic numbers in modern history.

 

2021 saw the biggest job surplus of any year in US history.. so there’s also that. It’s also worth noting that in December of 2020 we actually lost over 300k jobs

December of 2021 saw a job surplus of nearly 200k, and that’s considered underperforming in comparison to the rest the year

The standards for 2021 are definitely higher than they were in 2020

 

Opening up businesses from an artificial shutdown is NOT in ANY way job creation.

But don’t worry y’all are gonna find out. Because this moron can’t keep reopening the economy for three more years.

 

In this thread we learn of.lefties understanding of basic economics.

 

yes, Trump was riding the Obama wave before he crashed the economy... sad!

 

Uhh no. Obama had no wave. Go look at his numbers. Obama was not creating permanent full-time jobs. Obama was creating TEMPORARY and PART TIME jobs. Something to the effect of 80% of the jobs he “created” were temporary and part time.

Why? Because Obama was creating “shovel ready” jobs that were created BY THE GOVERNMENT through stimulus money. But that means when the stimulus money runs out, the jobs end.

That’s not what trump did. Trump created PERMANENT full-time jobs. Not through providing stimulus and just creating government provided contract positions that had an end date. He empowered businesses to create jobs through policy.

 

Where is the number showing the percentage of people who are not working? The formula that is used benefits both parties but it isn't accurate. No parties should be boasting numbers that don't reflect the real world unemployment situation.

 

Please highlight in my post where I used the words "job creation"

 

I disagree. No reason to use those not seeking employment. If people aren’t in the work force they cannot be unemployed.

 

What the real formula shows is the number of people working to support those who aren't. This ratio is becoming more critical with the baby boomers retiring.

 

Yeah that’s not entirely true. Some people are quite capable of taking care of themselves without working. Heck I am thinking of telling the corporate to piss off myself. I've not an employers market anymore. It's an employees market. This is good for the worker.

 

The Democrats problem, Biden's problem is that their perceived as being too much Trump fixated and not paying any attention to rising prices, inflation etc. Especially among independents which rate rising prices, inflation as this nation's most important problem today. Not Trump, not the BBB, not Voting Rights Bill, not climiate change. Independents think Biden and company have their priorities all messed up. That the economy, rising prices should be number one.

Biden's job approval on the economy was at 55% last June, independents gave him a 53% approval rating than. Today, Biden approval on the economy is at 40%, independents are giving him a 36% approval on the economy as their perceive him and the Democrats in congress as either not caring about rising prices or ignoring rising prices as they go after their pet peeve priorities to only please their base, not America as a whole.

CNN Poll: Majority of Americans say Biden isn't paying attention to nation's most important issues

What was it before the pandemic, what was it doing under the Trump policies before the pandemic. Why is it still flatlined when we can all go back to work and why has Biden been paying people not to reenter the workforce.
The LFPR is a key indicator and offsets this great economy he is claiming.

 

As the economy was still under shutdown and entering the recovery Biden inherited is is blowing.

 

No it wasn't and inflation was still low as incomes were increasing and we hit record low unemployment. It was one of the greatest economies ever until COVID shut it down.

 

It was for the second quarter of 2021 still riding the recovery that had started 3 a year earlier as business opened back up.
