The news is bad for the Right. They hate to see 670,000 jobs added in February. Destroys their talking points....

"The U.S. economy added 678,000 jobs in February, compared to the 400,000 expected by economists, and the unemployment rate fell to 3.8 percent from 4 percent the previous month."

for employees.

Yup, amazing what happens when you remove covid restrictions, start to drop mask mandates, open schools and allow people to get back to work.

Allowing people to go back to work after shutting down their jobs is not the same as a new job.

Glad to see people going back to work and the plethora of help wanted signs being filled.

It is nice to be able to go to a sit down restaurant again instead of drive through(if they were not closed completly) only because they dont have enough workers.

Sadly you think that people on the right think going back to work is a bad thing, Biden could have sat in his basement eating his green jello and people would go back to work when they were allowed to or were able to because of taking care of school age children who could not go to school because the latest covidiot scare.

Biden does not get credit for allowing people back to work.

 

Also with the rising inflation - wonder how many of those are someone adding a second and third job to feed the family instead of robbing and looting.

9M+ people lost their jobs due to government closures.  Around 7M have gone back to work (in spite of the ongoing plandemic madness), especially in red states.  Let's talk when all those artificially lost jobs are back.....then we will have real growth in employment.  I know this is probably far over your head so let me explain in a way that you might understand.

Johnny has 10 apples.  The government comes and takes 5 of Johnny's apples because they claim without scientific evidence that having too many apples spreads the ChiCom virus.  Two years later the government looks at the polls and realizes that taking Johnny's 5 apples away is very unpopular so they decide to give Johnny back 3 apples.  Johnny now has 8 apples....two less than he had before the government took away his 5 apples.  Goofy posts on the forum celebrating the fact that Johnny now has 8 apples, an increase of 3 apples, and gives credit the government telling everyone how wonderful they are and what a great job they are doing.  Johnny thinks Goofy is an idiot because he still has two less apples than he had before the government arbitrarily took 5 away from him.  Johnny is correct.

Employent is still down 2.1 million or 1.4% as compared to pre-pandemic Feb 2020 levels.  Wage growth as reflected in hourly earnings increased  5.1% Fish!!!   Unfortunately, the buying power of that increase is wiped out by the consistent 7% inflation rate.  All this tells me is that people are finding it necessary to work more than one job to stay afloat.  Biden economics for the simple minded translates to happy days are here again, but for those who dig a little deeper, these stats from the BLS are none too rosey.

 Good news is good news except if you want bad news. You just continue to pontificate a theory that everything sucks if a Dem is President. The market set new records before Ukraine and employment is up but everything sucks.

Inflation is also the result  of the pandemic....just look at used cars. There is a massive shortage of chips for new cars so used car  prices are up as much as 40%? Who do you blame??????  Blame Biden...he is storing chips in ther WH.

You guys come across as sore losers who live with the failed theory of a stolen election. The truth is Trump and the Right got their azz handed to them for their failed policies. You win some and you lose some.

I voted for my Republican congressman as I believe in a split governemnt. You guys believe that we shold be like Russia..one guy and one party running the country.

Inflation was caused by the pandemic.  Unemployment was caused by the pandemic.  Trillions in new debt were caused by the pandemic.  My soggy corn flakes were caused by the pandemic.  I doubt even now you understand how profoundly stupid those statements are. All the virus caused was a lot of sick people of which well over 99% of them survived.  The pandemic didn't cause inflation or these other things.....the government's mostly ill informed, ignorant and at times fascistic response to the pandemic is what caused all these things.  You act like there was no other choice.....but there was and those countries that followed the science fared much better than those that either panicked or became little dictators.  Goofy, you are not a serious person.

Please revist after the midterms when you are constantly complaining, we wonder how you will feel then.

but all those things had to have been caused by TTRRRRUUMMMPPPP /sarcasm (added the sacrasm tag since GFY is just so nutty and to make sure he did not take that as a serious statement.)

 

You know how we know that it was all caused by Trump - because Biden never came out of his basement to do anything ( other then kill domestic energy, forced vaxxing and kill the economy via Covid policies.

 

If Trump had done any of the things that Biden has done, or allowed Russia to do the things they have - we would have heard non-stop about how super Hitler was doing Russia's bidding - but Xiden gets the pass on all things.  I thought under Obama they just could not complain about him because they were afraid of the "racist" label - but apparently unless Biden is more a person of color then Elizabeth Warren is Indian -  it must just be for any demonrat that they will shill.

 

They call Trump a dictator when the label fits Biden so much better.  I really have been swayed to the argument that when they accuse you/someone of something it is usually because they looked in the mirror right before they did it, didnt like what they saw - but had delusions of who they saw in the mirror.  GFY is exhibit 1.

Can agree this news is bad.  Been seeing these at most pumps around - This is an image from the web, not one I took.

 

Apparently it is really bad in North alabama removing 6 or more stickers PER DAY!!!

I didn't get any money from the Government for so called pandemic relief so don't blame me for inflation under your theory. As a conservative always  bitchin about government spending...did you contribute to the inflation????

My contribution to the Treasury was in the millions during the pandemic so no, I didn't contribute to the inflation.  That was done by the Feds printing money like drunken sailors....with due respect to drunken sailors everywhere.  Add the missteps on energy and you get inflation eating up any wage growth and then some.  Like the idiot Peanut Farmer in the 70's Dementia Joe is repeating history with all the same mistakes.  You know why?  Cause he is under the control of leftists that think history started the day they came to the age of reason.  And all prior attempts at implementing a failed ideology only failed because "smart" people like them weren't in charge.  Ignorance of history....doomed to repeat it....nothing new under the sun.
