re: Honestly, did you ever think you would see a 3.5% unemployment rate?

You all are fools if you think the unemployment rate being this low automatically equates to high paying jobs. Having a job and having a job with a living wage is entirely two different things. We need to stop paying attention to the raw employment rate. People working two or three jobs to survive skews that number greatly. Rumor has it there is a statistic on jobs that pay a liveable wage. That is the number that we need to see. And since some insist healthcare should only be provided via employment we need to see how many jobs provide real health benefits. The very recognizable corporations providing healthcare with a $6,000 deductible do not count on that score.

I agree with your premise, but not your insinuation. This has always been the case that the economy will have a certain percentage of jobs paying less than a living wage. Unless you can show me that that percentage has increased during the Trump years, then a 3.5% rate is vastly superior to what he inherited. Trying to make this argument to downplay the improvements under Trump is as foolish as making the argument that a greater number of jobs were added in Obama's first years. Of course there were, the economy was recovering from a devastating recession. It is easier to add jobs in that situation than it is to add them at full employment.

If only we could go back to the Obama years. You know, when wages were lower and unemployment was massively higher. Somebody needs to turn this country around!

Making a "livable wage" is up to the individual. If you are not happy with your wage IMPROVE YOUR MOTHERFRICKEN SKILLS. It is not up to GOVT to hand out high paying jobs...it is more the GOVT's responsibility to get OUT OF THE WAY. Reduce burdens on small business, reduce taxes, reduce regulations which is what Trump has done.

AOC believes low unemployment under Trump is the direct result of people working two and three jobs.
Look it up, she really believes this. Save your admonishment for the true fools that walk among us.
Edit: I just read your post in its entirety. Initially, I couldn't get past the first line. If you believe the same nonsense Ocasio-Cortez is putting forth you need to put away the fool card. Its not going to work.
