Biden's evil plan: If everyone has a job, the private sector economy will thrive.

Plandemic, puts people out of work... People go back to work: Biden says the success is his.

That's not how it works

You are partially right. Trump's mismanagement of the Pandemic resulted in 9-million job losses. More than 13.5-milllion jobs have been added on Biden's watch. So, we got back all those lost jobs and half again as many more. So far, so good.

You are misguided, but also partially right. Trump didn't mismanage the PlanDemic. He acted in guidance from his staff and in guidance of experts...one of those being Anthony Fauci. STATES dictated their handlings of COVID.

Trump initially cut travels from China - stating the virus originated in China and he was right. He was labeled a Xenophobe for doing it by the Media. After that - STATES acted independently with their efforts - with guidance from the CDC and Anthony Fauci.

Fauci mishandled the response and recommendations for how to combat COVID. It was the CDC (led by Fauci) that called for 6 ft distancing, that called for masking up (in layers of masks), and recommended that only essential businesses to stay open.

Anthony Fauci caused all of the mishandling of the pandemic that led to all of the people losing their jobs. That's not on Trump.

Now to where you're partially right. In Biden's economy with lies about how much Inflation was happening and with lies about how we weren't in a recession (by changing the definition of recession)... The average person couldn't afford to make it with just 1 or just 2 jobs. Many people today are working 2 or 3 jobs, compared to where they only had to work 1 job previously.

So while there are more jobs in place now - compared to when the peak of people losing jobs was reached... It's because Citizens are working multiple jobs now to afford Biden's planned inflation.

In 2019 - 5.9M unemployed. In 2020 11M. In 2021 6.3 M. In 2022 5.7M unemployed. 2023 6.3 M unemployed.

So we can see in 2019, 5.9 million... Doubled during Pandemic in 2020. Still higher in 2021 than 2019, people returned to work. In 2022 - it dropped below 2019 levels - by 200,000 people. Now ending in 2023 - it's back up to 400,000 more people unemployed compared to 2019.

So saying Biden created a ton of jobs is misleading - because the Unemployment numbers are higher, the jobs gained were mostly people returning to work, and because some of those numbers are people with multiple jobs to afford the inflation.

He’s completely right

Mostly part-time jobs and foreigners working on H1-B visas.

The vast majority of the jobs would not qualify for H1-B visas. A bout one third are in service industries where some part timers might be possible. However, unless your posting is a made up "shot in the dark," please cite your source. I can find nothing to support your statement, while most facts run counter to it.

You can't add over 400,000 people to the unemployed list compared to 2019 and consider that a success. Only way you're seeing positive stuff here is with "spin". Polish a turd all you want - it still smells like a turd.

According to the Bureau of Labor Statistics there were 5.8-million unemployed in the US in 2019. The number for November is almost exactly that amount. Even if seasonal unemployment changed, and it does fluctuate, the number of jobs added to the economy don't. The unemployment numbers are the ones being spun here, by the guy who you see in the mirror.

Get your facts straight.

In 2019 - 5.9M unemployed. In 2020 11M. In 2021 6.3 M. In 2022 5.7M unemployed. 2023 6.3 M unemployed.

So, unlike when a republican is in office, the economy now is controlled by the president…

Same with gas prices. (when they are low)

When you give tax breaks to the rich, they put most of the money back in their pockets. The only "trickle-down," is the money they "invest," in right-wing politicians' campaigns. When you invest money in crumbling public infrastructure, give permits to drill more oil and gas than ever before, and change import-export regulations to favor US produced products, you get the economy we see today.

Presidents' policies and action can and do make a difference.

No... When you do all those things, you get the economy of late 2018 to early 2020... Which was booming.

When you purposefully close gas lines, purposefully command a SEAL Team to blow up a Pipeline, purposefully increase minimum wages, purposefully lie about a recession, and purposefully raise Interest rates... THEN you get today's economy.

The good economy we had was on Trump. The shit show we have today is on Biden.

Bullshit

Yes they do... For example, if you and your constituents press for Higher Minimum Wages... That directly impacts inflation. As every minimum wage employee style business now has to pay their employees more. Since they can't bleed their profits to pay the employees ... The prices of goods and services INFLATES.

When you as a President close Oil and Gas lines, cut federal lands from being drilled upon for Oil... The price of Oil per barrel goes up. This happens because of the Law of Supply and Demand. Since there is less oil in the commodities Market, the price for a barrel of oil goes up. When you as a President give the order for a Navy Seal Team to blow up an Oil Pipeline... The price of Oil per barrel goes up, as there is less oil in the market.

When you as a President allow for the Federal Reserve to jack up Interest Rates - it makes all Interest Based Purchases (like a house or a car) to be more expensive. So instead of having 600 in left over income and getting a $200 car loan, now you'll have a $350 car loan. You'll have less left money left over a month - decreasing your purchasing power - which ALSO artificially deflates the US Dollar. Which in turn increases the inflation rate.

Let's start with a lesson in Government. The Federal Reserve Bank is independent from Federal Government control by design. So, the Fed does not answer to the President. Do a little reading. You will not come off as uninformed.

Second, the US produced a record 4.49-billion barrels of oil last year and is pumping a record 13.2 million barrels a day at this time. Oil reserves are high, which is holding down the cost of gas, in spite of disruptions in Russian, Venezuelan and Middle East oil markets. The government does not own the oil companies, so it can only influence demand with manipulations of the Emergency Reserves and other methods.

As a capitalist, I learned that America became a major economic giant by private industry "building a better mousetrap." Early entrepreneurs engaged in competition rather than whining. The economic model you cite that blames labor costs for inflation is incorrect. Supply and Demand are the two sides of the yin-yang of commerce. I paid $2.000 in the 1970s for a first-generation VCR. They were a novelty that were high tech for their time, were in short supply and moderately high demand. By the 1980s Walmart was selling small VCRs for under $30. At this time labor is in short supply which is driving up the cost. But companies are flourishing, so it is less of a problem than you paint it to be. Currently, raw materials and energy costs are driving most price most increases.

That opening and producing oil sounds like what Trump did. Did I miss info on Biden's administration doing this? Because I don't recall hearing about that

As an "Old Guy," of 75-years old, I grew up during the "Cold War." If you told Everett Dirksen, a Conservative Republican Senator from Illinois that the Republican Party of the 21st-Century would turn its back on NATO, side with the guy trying to reconstitute the Soviet Union and run massive deficits to line the pockets of the filthy rich, he would join the moderately Liberal Joe Biden's efforts. The once Conservative Republican Party is now "Conservatish," at best.

No they wouldn't. Not if you showed them the statistics that show who is paying for what involving NATO. Give Everett Dirksen the year over year spending involved with NATO and all of the data involved with the countries that weren't paying into the processes involved in NATO... And how the US was pouring Tax Payer dollars into NATO.

No - they wouldn't jump to the Biden team on this.

They would wonder what the hell happened and look to pull out too.

That’s what happens when people on strike go back to work

Nice try. These are new jobs.

There are very few actual real new Jobs. It's people who came back to work - people working 2-3 jobs. Unemployment numbers in 2023 were higher than in 2019 before the PlanDemic.

Bullshit

The 164,000 jobs added estimate has been revised upward to 217,000.
