U.S. Added 266,000 Jobs in November; Unemployment at 3.5%

Don't give a damn

And there lies the problem. You are only here to push an extremely partisan agenda and nothing more. There is no point going into this any further as your just regurgitating already defeated arguments.
 
What trends? As I mentioned the stock markets have gone up 40-50% since he was elected, unemployment had dropped. Tax revenues are going up, wages are increasing.

Does stock market performance mean the middle class is doing well?

according to a lot of data they're moving up. I'll leave the proof to the interested reader.

And yet you didn't provide any data that substantiates your statement.

But i did ask a question, and you did refuse to answer.

You're incapable of providing valid citation....

Nope, I'm perfectly capable of citing data. When I want to.
 
Nope, I'm perfectly capable of citing data.

And yet your response contains nothing but an empty claim. Go figure. If you were able to cite the necessary data, you would have done so already. Your refusal to do so is par for the course.

Oh, no. I had the links right here. I just made a little joke and you went hyper. So, believe me or not, makes no difference to me.
 
If somebody told you that they could absolutely add a few jobs by increasing the deficit to a Trillion dollars, would you have agreed?

We've all learned not to take you seriously. You're not here to add to the discussion in any constructive way. A few one-liners is all we can expect.
 
And there lies the problem. You are only here to push an extremely partisan agenda and nothing more. There is no point going into this any further as your just regurgitating already defeated arguments.

Apparently a partisan agenda is putting America first, strong job creation(real jobs), strong economic growth, record state and local revenue. Why don't you tell us exactly what your agenda is, Mr. Independent?

When you say my arguments are defeated, seems the reality disagrees with you. 6.5 million jobs in 3 years vs. 6 million in 9? Obama 4 million fewer votes in 2012 vs. 2008? Historic low u-6 vs 9.3% that Obama left Trump? African American unemployment over 2% lower than our first African American President? Trillion dollar growth in GP without massive gov't spending on a stimulus? Not sure what books you are reading and looking at but they are making you look foolish compared to the actual results.

I will remind you the target for employment when Obama started running for office was 146 million(Jan-April 2008)

I will remind you that Democrats controlled the Congress from January 2007 through the end of the recession.

I will remind you that it was TARP that ended the financial recession by recapitalizing the banks.

I will remind you that TARP was mostly repaid but was recycled by Obama Administration thus making the spending even worse.

I will remind you that Obama added 9.3 trillion to the debt

I will remind you that there were 7 interest rate hikes in 2007-2008 and mandatory entitlement increases

I will remind you that there was more than enough revenue generated by FIT to pay for the discretionary spending

I will remind you that the largest component of GDP is consumer spending

I will remind you that the Trump tax cuts benefit the American electorate who are better off today than 3 years ago

I will remind you that Trump has a 52% approval rating on the economy and is amassing African American support due to their historic low unemployment 2.3% lower than Obama

I will remind you that Obama created the worst recovery from a major recession in history

I do understand that none of this will resonate but it will with true independents

Which they will just piss away right and build more Goverment?


I will remind you that Trump has a 52% approval rating on the economy and is amassing African American support due to their historic low unemployment 2.3% lower than Obama

And how many of those black jobs are just part time and still can receive the many various forms of welfare?

will remind you that Obama added 9.3 trillion to the debt

And do you know that we're going back to 1 Trillion dollar a year deficits AGAIN when the Trump tax cuts were suppose to start paying down this debt?(LOL)

And yet our Founders put the power at the state and local levels. If they are pissing away that money what are you doing about it? You prefer that the federal bureaucrats over which you have limited control do it instead of the states that has term limits?

So you got nothing out of my post as again you focus on the trillion dollar deficits not the tax cuts which put more power in the hands of the people? Gov't is going to spend money and keep as many people dependent as possible as that is the liberal agenda. Allowing people to keep more of what they earn gives the people the power not the federal bureaucrats

How many of those black jobs are part time? Why don't you ask them, 1.5 million fewer part time jobs today than when Obama left office, African American unemployment 2.3% lower than Obama's. African American support approaching 33% in some polls. Seems they get it, when will you>

Yes, BUT, there were counting on a virtuous citizeny(What we don't have) Just thing of all the progressive in the past and future since then.

If they are pissing away that money what are you doing about it?

Trying to reform our citizenry outside the political election process which does not work

Oh, why do you not finish the story sir? Those tax cuts you talk of were TEMPORARY

. Allowing people to keep more of what they earn gives the people the power not the federal bureaucrats

Really? more to just donate to a political party for example?

First, there was a lot more part time jobs during the great recession because it was a great recession

I noticed you couldn't find anything to disprove my claim about those Black jobs just being part time?j
 
LOL, you need to get out of California as you are embarrassing yourself with your lack of accurate information.

You mean to say that there was a deep recession in 2008, but a growing economy in 2016 is just California propaganda?
 
Bullseye is correct. The loaning of money to people that had no business buying the home they bought was the thing that triggered the economic crisis. The was cause by congress relaxing the leaning practicing and pushing to eliminate Red Zones. Barney Frank was largely responsible for that. You are partially correct Greedy Bankers predatory leaning practices and the loaning of money to non credit worthy people to buy homes they could not afford. When those home loans went delinquent the economy eventually collapse.

And oddly enough many of those same bankers making the shady loans had insurance in case people couldn't make their payments. Is that a coincidence or an admission they were making bad loans in bad faith?

You don’t understand.

The economy was horrible in 2016, except for the last two months, when it became the best economy in history. Evah.

You libtards just don’t get it.
 
Luther;1071032857]Yes, BUT, there were counting on a virtuous citizeny(What we don't have) Just thing of all the progressive in the past and future since then.

If you spent more time in your own community and state politics things might get better for you, what makes you think the Federal bureaucrats are going to solve your state and local problems?



Trying to reform our citizenry outside the political election process which does not work

So how does promoting bigger gov't solve your problems?





Oh, why do you not finish the story sir? Those tax cuts you talk of were TEMPORARY

the rest of the story is Democrats wouldn't approve permanent cuts that expire when??? Think your group of clowns are going to promote permanent cuts?



Really? more to just donate to a political party for example?

How about time and talent? there is more than just monetary donations!



First, there was a lot more part time jobs during the great recession because it was a great recession

That is a lie, ACA promoted part time job creation, but keep buying with the left is selling you, I am sure they are very pleased

I noticed you couldn't find anything to disprove my claim about those Black jobs just being part time?

African American support for Trump proves that they are happier now so if you think that is because of part time jobs, you are truly clueless on this issue
 
You mean to say that there was a deep recession in 2008, but a growing economy in 2016 is just California propaganda?

What does any of that have to do with the thread topic and why do you ignore the facts presented?

You libtards just don’t get it.

Just like a typical radical cheerleader who has such low standards yet cannot explain how the data such as record job creation without part time jobs was created. What a waste of time you radicals are
 
Here are the real numbers



Trump's lies not withstanding.

LOL, yep, BLS.gov lies all the time, 6.4 million jobs created for total employment of 158.5 million and 4.4 million part time for economic reasons vs the 152.1 million inherited including 5.7 million part time for economic reasons. You so called independents/centrists don't have the guts to admit your true lean

Call BLS and tell them their numbers are wrong and you are right!!

Conservative is both a shameless liar AND a nutjob partisan?

So surprised.

Personal insults is all you and your ilk are good for as you will always divert from the official numbers due to your loyalty to liberalism and need for a massive central gov't to take care of you. Waiting for you and other posters to refute the data in Post 722 and 723? You wont' because you can't and that is why liberalism is such a failure.
