WHAT THE REGIME ISN'T TELLING YOU.........

The March jobs number came out today and once again the Biden regime was touting what a great number it was. Here's the truth.

Consider this: January was a 5-sigma beat to expectations; February was a 3-sigma beat and March, we just learned, beat the median estimate by 4-sigma. Not only that, but in every of the last 3 months, the actual payroll number (at least before it was revised lower the next month), has come in higher than the highest Wall Street estimate! Either Biden is the single greatest job creator this nation has ever known, or the Bureau of Labor Statistics is lying their.... off.

Consider this: in March, the number of part-time jobs soared by 691K to 28.632 million, up from 27.941 million while full-time jobs dropped by 6,000, to 132.940 million from 132.946 million.

Since Biden was selected, all new net jobs have gone to foreign born workers, mainly illegals.

The number of people employed is still 9 million below the pre Covid levels. If they were added back into the labor force, the unemployment rate would be 7%.

Lastly, if inflation was calculated the way it was in the 1970's (includes food and housing), the inflation rate would be 18%.

Yet the MSM still can't figure out why Biden's poll numbers on the economy are horrendous.

LOL

Indeed; people having to pay utilities while purchasing groceries and filling up their vehicle, KNOW that Biden and his leftist sycophants are wrong. Of course by wrong I mean they are outright lying.

The most telling number is the Stock Market. Capitalism's experts drive it up or down based on how they think current conditions will affect future growth. They appear to think things are twice as good today than four years ago.

Thank goodness you are here to tell us the "truth." Basically the gobbeldy gook you call "truth>" is that there have not been any new jobs added and they all went to illegals. What a hoot! The Federal Reserve ran interest rates up to try to slow down job growth to cool inflation. The reason they have not been able to ease interest rates is that the economy keeps adding jobs and workers keep consuming goods.

Please note that I said the "economy," is adding jobs. Presidents do not add jobs. But, if they create the right circumstances and stay out of the way, jobs will be created by capitalists who think they can make more money by doing so. Biden has learned to stay out of the way of experts. That is why Covid numbers are down, and job numbers are up.

Most Americans still feel the inflationary effects of the post-Covid recovery in which consumer demand exceeded supply more than expected. Remember, influential economists and other pundits were predicting a Recession most of last year. The Federal Reserve Bank increased interest rates several times, which added to inflation but were designed to cool the economy, ultimately decreasing consumer driven inflationary pressures. In fact, ours was the only major economy that grew rather than retracted. Had this growth not happened retailers would not be short-stocked, and prices would not have risen as much as they did. But that's the way things tuned out.

Pick your poison. I would rather have low unemployment, and a strong America where prices are higher, than poverty, recession and lower prices that no one can take advantage of.

I have never lied about my service in the Army. I was inducted on May 8, 1968. During Basic Training I became ill with an acute respiratory disease, which had me hospitalized for over 30-days. The doctors were not able to diagnose the cause and when the symptoms did not go away, I was discharged on August 26. The symptoms became less sever but stayed with me for years. In 1978, I became ill while working the Midnight to 8 a.m. shift at the Sepulveda VAMC. The ER doctor eventually diagnosed the problem as a upper respiratory infection but noted old spores resembling Tuberculosis on my chest X-Rays. After he investigated and gave me a few tests he determined that I had contracted Mico-Kansasii Bacterium while in the Army. It was misdiagnosed at the time because this disease was very rare in California, where Ft. Ord was located. I have received two VA Home Loans, which I would not qualify for if I had not served. I have received care as a Veteran at the VA. If I wanted I could apply for and get VA Compensation for the disease that hospitalized me all those years ago. I am no military hero, but I have met hundreds of others who had their service cut short by illness or disease.

It would be illegal for anyone to disclose any of the above information, from my official Army or VA records. So, protect the identity of whoever told you I did not serve, if their point of reference is from official documents or records. Not only are they liars, but they have broken the law.

I am sorry that you misinterpret my political disagreements with those on the extreme right as "hate." I have seen hatred consume people. I choose to not hate anyone. I am also sorry that you feel that other people should not make independent judgements about what I post. I give all people credit for being intelligent enough to consider the points I make on their own. I don't support the kind of Cancel Culture you propose.

I am being called a "liar," by a guy who won't even use his own name in doing so. I stand corrected on Michael Richards' military branch, i also was also under the impression that he served in Vietnam. He served in Germany. I didn't get this misinformation from him. It was from my memory of being asked by y boss at the VA about 25-years ago to contact him concerning serving in a leadership role in the National Salute to Hospitalized Veterans, which he was unable to do. Like many high school friends I lost track of Michael after I graduated I did not hang out with him when he was drafted, or I would have known he was in the Army.
