Unemployment rate falls to 10.2% in July as US adds 1.8M jobs

Conservative said:
I can't believe you care about anyone else but your own ideology, have seen too much of you over the past few years, total radical liberal with no understanding of civics, the Constitution or the role of your own state and local government. Regardless of the election results I will survive four more years of Trump and even though you don't think so you will too. So sad that there is so much hatred for a President who apparently has a direct influence on your life more so than your city mayor, state governor. Please explain to us all what that influence is since you haven't liked Trump since day one, called him a liar since day one, thus wouldn't believe anything he stated especially during impeachment. It isn't the role of the President to be a first responder so unless you have specifics of what he hasn't provided your state per request I write you off as nothing but a radical nanny state malcontent wanting to spread liberal misery equally to everyone else

It's just that nobody likes Trump aside from the 36% that worship him as the second coming of Jesus.

Same here in TX, the area I live in has returned to normal in spite of being in what the left calls the epicenter of the pandemic.

The state's COVID-19 positive test rate on Thursday reached the second-highest rate since the pandemic began, according to a Houston Chronicle analysis of state data. For the second day in a row, the rate jumped and is now at 17.05 percent.

Houston Mayor Sylvester Turner said earlier this week that the city's positive test rate is still hovering at around 15 percent. Local health authorities and public officials have repeatedly said that they want Houston's positive test rate to decrease to about 5 percent before reopening schools or scaling back any stay-home measures.

The S&P 500 increased nearly 200% during the Obama administration.

During the Trump administration... the S&p 500 has grown by 45%.

And how does that affect you or your family? I live in the Houston area, why am I not complaining, the mayor of Houston is a liberal African American Democrat, the city hasn't had a Republican mayor since 1981, think I am blaming the mayor for my daughter contracting COVID 19? Think I am going to blame him if I get it? You like far too many are always looking for someone else to blame for your own personal responsibility issues, that isn't the way I was raised

The democrats set Obama up for success driving the economy into the ditch, not giving Bush a budget and then blaming him for the recession, the stock market was over 14k in October pre recession, that was the target not what the Democrats created for him when he took office.

Obama took office with NO budget, TARP, a Democrat Controlled congress and a stimulus bill for shovel ready jobs. That is reality, keep ignoring it

I do understand what 4.3 million means, it means the socialist republic of California that has the most people, leads the nation in poverty, homeless, worst quality of life, most polluted cities, largest wage gap wants the rest of the country to be the same thus spreading their misery equally to everyone else. Our Founders created a country where the largest state gets the most electoral votes but doesn't elect the President. Hillary won the popular vote by a little over 2 million votes. You love California so much, you can move there taking the place of actual taxpayers fleeing the state

your claim is false, as I showed you. More americans (nearly 3 million) voted for Clinton than for trump. No republican president has been able to win more votes by americans than their opponent in this century.

Sure it did, from what the Democrats created for him to inherit, he had the worst recovery in American history, there you go again percentage change, not dollar growth and the target was 14k not 6k. You would be fired for generating those kind of results at the cost generated

data isn't spin. 1.8 million returned, while 1.4 filed left. A jobs gain of 400k is awful. I have no idea why you are celebrating failure?

I just want to make sure, this, the re-surging back to near record levels of positive tests, far beyond what was stated as needed for schools to re-open, is, according to you....."BACK TO NORMAL"?

That is pretty fracking crazy!
 
Conservative said:
Obama added 9.3 trillion to the debt and we don't pay deficit service we pay debt service. When did Obama cut the deficit in half and how did he do it? Trillion dollar deficits 2009-10-11-12, GOP takes Congress in 14, interesting how civics doesn't exist in your educational background

The recession ended in June 2009, Obama's 842 billion stimulus for shovel ready jobs was signed in mid February 2009, we didn't get back to Pre recession employment numbers until 2014 now you call that a success? I call it a disaster as did the public

I see you still don't know how budgets become law, lol. Obama cut the deficit in half. Trump doubled the deficit. Trump has been outspending Obama by orders of magnitude. Republicans LOVE them some deficits and debt.

Record levels of positive tests really seems to bother you or is this just a typical liberal attitude, how have those tests affected you and your family?
 
Conservative said:
There you go again looking at the stock market in January 2009 and not what it was before the Democrats helped destroy it, over 14 k. it was 18 k on election day 2016 and 27 k today even with the pandemic!! 9000 point gain, now sell the 401k holders how great the Obama economy was especially those holding stock at 14k with Democrats controlling the Congress thus the purse strings and legislative agenda

the 2008 crash was due entirely to republican incompetence, as I have shown several times. Obamas economic performance, including the stock market, is better than trumps. This is reality.

What did Obama do to cut the budget deficit in half and why does that even matter, he added 9.3 trillion to the debt, does that mean it should have been higher and he deserves credit for the 9.3 trillion? You don't get it and never will what was the return on investment for the Obama deficit and the Trump deficit? Why does the Obama deficit matter today, it is part of the debt that Trump inherited, any idea what 7 interest rate hikes did to the debt service during first two years of Trump?

You keep buying the rhetoric and keep letting the left make a fool out of you

Sure it was, the Democrat control of the Purse strings and legislative process from January 2007 to the end of the Bush term had nothing to do with it!

Obama's debt is directly attributable to the previous republican administration. An administration that started out with a balanced federal budget and even a surplus

Republicans are terrible at running our country
