One of the strongest jobs report. EVER!!
Unemployment ticked up slightly which means people that had given up, are coming back into the labor market.

Even the lefties in CNBC say it's one of the best reports in recent history.

That's strange. When Trump was campaigning, he attacked labor statistics during Obama's tenure as inflated or fraudulent. Now that he's the president, it's not inflated or fraudulent any more, even though the metrics used have remained unchanged.

The truth of the matter is: jobs reports under both administrations have been phony!!

Here's a good source known for exposing government shenanigans in changing various traditional / conventional metrics used for measuring America's economic and financial health:

Yes indeed! Paulson, Bernanke, and Timmy did a beautiful job in wresting us from the jaws of a full on depression after the Greenspan Fed and the G.W. Bush Administration fell asleep at the switch and failed to rein in the Wall Street anarcho-capitalists who brought us this mess. And thank goodness Obama was smart enough to follow Treasury and Fed advice and push Congress to go along, which was like pulling teeth. Had Congress been more cooperative and given Obama everything he asked for, we'd have recovered somewhat more rapidly then we did. It takes a long time to recover from deep recessions even after Government steps in and counters loss of demand from the private sector. The only Recession in our history that was even deeper was the Great Depression of the 1930s, and that was greatly extended by starting out on the wrong foot with belt tightening.

• Now watch as Trump fucks everything up with his Trade war. He'll have to retreat, or he'll neutralize the good effects of the Republican's corporate tax rate reductions.
