re: Huge miss on jobs report just out

This sounds like a Bidenflation post

Biden couldn't cut spending if his life depended on it, but this specific issue stretches well beyond him. It goes back to Obama's handling of the GFC, how both of his predecessors have also allowed spending to be guided by CRs rather than demanding a budget, how Congress has continued to dogpile onto deficit spending and how the Fed has gone along with it by making sure they keep auctions from failing.

This is actually been the best term in the history of our country.

What metrics did you use to determine this?

Neither can Trump.

Economist Magazine called our economy the “envy of the world” in October of 2024. A hyper manic tariff policy based on lies and a renewed interest in meddling across the globe has turned that around in record time.

We’re heading in the direction of his 6 Casinos, the Trump shuttle, Trump Mortgage, Trump University, Trump Vodka, Trump Steaks, The Trump Network, gotrump.com, the Trump bike race, etc. Everything thing he’s ever touch has turned to shite.

release your death grip on those pearls sissy

We are demonstrably in a worse position than when Obama started.

You make this claim yet provide no actual evidence.

It's weird that you started with the above premise, which supported the other poster's comment, and yet came to this conclusion:

5 years of Trump has us barely hanging on. We need at least 20 more years of conservative leadership to course correct. Also need the GOP to have supermajorities in both houses of Congress for at least part of that.

i wouldn't be surprised if dems have decided not to work just to try and make Trump look bad...it isn't beyond belief with how much they hate him

Reality like 28k of those "losses" being from a strike?

Remove them and it's still a terrible revision. It's still in the negative by tens of thousands and was supposed to be like 50k positive.

The rhetoric still matches the blame of Biden exclusively for all the inflation (which I did not do and I specifically did not blame Trump exclusively for this economy).

Trump has also been a HUGE contributor to the printing-spending problem. His 4 years without Covid continued the trends we saw under Obama and then he added trillions of spending in 2020 on top of that. We didn't do much/any better last year, either. So it's not exclusively him to blame in any way, but he's a cog in the machine and a bigger one than anyone not names Joe Biden. Then Obama, then GWB, then Reagan.

And our spending is bad, yes, but we're still in the best position all around in the world. That's not the reason for this jobs report, directly. This is still stuff that's been brewing since 2008 that we never fully realized.
