    Oh bs nothing is happening because of him it's happening in spite of him.

    He's done nothing but stand in the way of business owners.

    They've already tried that BS of calling jobs that simply came back online jobs that he created.

    Both Nixon and Obama weaponized the IRS. Other agencies have been weaponized before as well. See below.

    https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/COINTELPRO
    The FBI has used covert operations against domestic political groups since its inception; however, covert operations under the official COINTELPRO label took place between 1956 and 1971. Many of the tactics used in COINTELPRO are alleged to have seen continued use including; discrediting targets through psychological warfare; smearing individuals and groups using forged documents and by planting false reports in the media; harassment; wrongful imprisonment; illegal violence; and assassination.

    It's already been discussed here ad nauseam.

    How about this you tell us what sort of policies The binding administration has instituted that has actually increased employment?

    I'll even make it easy just name one.

    Oh I know on day one he created a bunch of oil pipeline jobs.... Oh wait a minute I got that backwards

    Snotloller at allowing businesses to reopen their doors from artificial shutdowns and mandates being a “recovery”.

    The unemployment rate in my county then as I noted at the time here was under 4% and just over 4% in my state of poor little ole Alabama. GDP had recovered and the economy was posed to explode.

    And Democrats leave all sorts of issue too, Clinton left Bush a recession, the dot.com bust and the lead up to 9/11. Carter left Reagan a total mess. And had not the Republicans taken back the Congress and instituted the austerity and sequester programs and stop the harmful economic polices of Obama no telling what Trump would have inherited. And let's not forget, when Obama came into the Presidency that recession which had been deepened and prolonged by the Democrat Congress was ending, all he had to do was get us into a strong and full recovery and his policies failed to do so, it was the worst recovery in modern history and we are still paying for that. And Biden was quite fortunate he inherited vaccines and therapeutics for COVIC a strongly recovering economy from that economic shutdown that had occurred and again all he had to do was get out of the way and let the economy recover, instead he is trying a repeat of the fail Obama demand side policies and we are now paying the price for that with the inflation we are seeing.

    Your strained machinations miss the fact that the President does not control the FED. The money Biden dumped in went straight to consumers with is demand side policies which failed in the 2010's just as they are doing now except they are driving the worst inflation in decades now and leading us into stagflation. And he wants to dump more money into the economy which will make matters worse because he knows if he actually adopts the supply side policies his base will go ape you know what and it will once again disprove progressive economics.

    I didn't attribute the 12.2% to under the Trump administration the recovery was well UNDERWAY under the Trump administration and Biden should be thanking Trump instead of his attacks on him.

    This is not true.

    The 'recession' you are talking about lasted 3 months.

    It has nothing to do with the one that Bush gave as a gift to the American people in 2008.

    It's true.

    It will soon be 38 years.

    Please.

    When Trump arrived, the budget was practically balanced, the unemployment rate was below 4% and the GDP growth was around 2.3%/year.

    The most complete irony is that despite a totally Republican-controlled Congress, Trump couldn't do better than Obama in three years... while adding 5% to the national debt.

    Surely you are creative enough to explain this contradiction to me.

    Finally, what you are trying to tell me is that things are fine when the country is run by a Democratic POTUS while the GOP controls one of the two houses of congress.

    We agree....

    That's a good summation. Look at what the Lefties here are posting about here. It's Trump, Trump Trump. There is nothing solution oriented, addressing the concerns of the voter.

    Biden and Left's perceived lack of interest in representing US and our concerns is making them less valued as representatives, as well it should.

    White House Report Card: Starts like 2021 ended, bad polls, COVID fail.

    Dementia Joe is in much worse shape than he was a year ago "when his party, backed by independent voters, was rallying around him and his aggressive agenda."

    Biden White House Brags On Weak Job Numbers.

    [​IMG]

    "The political spin never stops for the Biden White House."

    "The December numbers were collected BEFORE the Omicron wave began, so Team Biden can’t use that for an excuse."

    "The nation remains 3.6 million jobs short of pre-pandemic levels.”

    "In recent months, job openings surged to historically high levels and workers quit their jobs at record rates.”

    Everything continues to suck more and more. time for change.
