Ongoing Unemployment Drops to Lowest Level Since December 1973

Are they counting those who aren't looking for a job ?

a phrase repeated often during the Obama years.

Of course they're not, haven't been counting that for decades. To Tsings point, if it didn't bother you then, why does it bother you now?

 

[Spike Trader]

Tell me how you came to the conclusion that it was bothering me !!

It was Tsing who kept on asking if those who weren't looking for work were being counted during the Obama years. You should be asking him your question.

Exactly. And no, they aren't. Still.

And I'm as equally critical with the numbers during the Trump years. As I have pointed out, now several times.

you have a problem with the way the government statistics are reported,

The way the government (BLS) reports is just fine. I have a problem with Trump and his sycophants, their press releases, their tweets, and their non-stop misrepresentation and lies. I have no problem with someone occasionally saying or reporting something that turns out to be incorrect. When its endemic, however, it becomes intentional lying. I do have a problem with that. And I have a problem with lack of integrity, and lack of any ethical guide posts. I have a real big problem with a Con Artist as my President. This has absolutely nothing to do with politics, but everything to do with ethics and integrity.

Trump announced big tariffs against China today. Watch what happens to those tariffs in the coming weeks. Then you'll begin to understand what I am talking about.

You, Piezoe, are a partisan hack.

True but it goes far beyond that. Did you see this yesterday?

Wouldn't it be wonderful if Kim could lob a teeny-tiny, little microscopic nuke into the pool at mar a logo while the orange, fat one is lunching on a Big Mac and fries at pool-side? It would be a nice demonstration that Kim hadn't totally "denuclearized," and at the same time be a marvelous variation on Nixon's neutron bomb. You just get rid of the person that's causing the problem and leave the buildings intact -- well maybe just a little minor damage to the pool.

Thank god the end may be in sight to this lying, demagogue con artist. I can't wait for the first Tuesday after the first Monday in November to arrive.

Trump's going nowhere. If any of you filthy leftists had any integrity whatsoever, I'd give you odds that he'll at least finish his four years (barring a health issue, accident or other such event).

In the meantime, enjoy this

It bothered me then, it bothered me now.
But, there is no doubt the Economy is improving.
Just ask the interest rate raising FED.

Even Greenspan said he approves of Trumps policies.

So the tax cuts for the rich, the big corporate tax cut and the ramp in govt spending is boosting the economy further, but who pays for all this? At least under Obama the deficit was being reigned in, King Snowflake has the US easily heading toward the $1 trillion mark.

And how did Obama's fiscal responsibility work out for the national debt?
