If I recall correctly, George W. Bush had a pretty good economy during his first term too. We all saw what happened during his second term in office.

It’s like when someone can’t open a jar, asks for your help, then actually believes that they “loosened it for you.”

Recovery summer after recovery summer finally hitting once someone else was in office.

GWB was also a RACIST for trying to keep Blacks and low income individuals from moving into better homes and was denied changing those great Clinton-era policies...I remember...they try to blame Bush...but I member

yes, it's all very confusing about which person is individually responsible for which thing.

i don't really wish to add to the confusion, but in the threads about this so far, literally no one has mentioned something in this very same report that's pretty fricking massive.

i refer to the revision of the 2018-2019 numbers, which at the endpoint of the rebenchmarking were revised down from 2.5 million for that year to 2.0 million. that's a downward revision of twenty fricking percent to the numbers ending in q1 2019.

to reiterate, job growth in the first 3-4 quarters following the tax cut & trade war just got revised down by half a million.

not sure who to blame this on though.



eta: here's the split between y/y payrolls growth from last month's pre-revision numbers (green), and this month's post-revision (red)

9/11? The worst terrorist attack in history which helped pop the housing bubble?


Geez, I hope that doesn't happen to Trump.
