What are you using to decide on how the economy is doing?

Did I say anything about how the economy is doing? I brought the tweet to point out exactly what it points out, the virtually unprecedented growth in Government jobs.
I've been waiting over 5 years with bated breath for someone to say that!

Got it. Most if not all use Bidenomics as a negative about the economy. That is why I got confused since the economy is doing great and blowing the last admin numbers out of the water.

I guess when you create so many government jobs it has an effect on the economy. I specifically asked if this is how we want to help the economy.

How has the deficit and national debt been going? Where are government interest costs at now?

Now what did you think of the portrait?

Can we take one thing at a time?
It seems a lot of government jobs were created. How many private sector jobs has been created since he took office?

IDK. We came out of COVID-19 with a huge shortage of willing working hands, as people got accustomed to free handouts.

How many permanent full-time private sector jobs were created?

BTW. I get it. You really believe Biden is the best option for the US at this point. How about you get many more people to vote for him in IL, NY, NJ and CA. That should tip the scales in his favor, right? As a matter of fact, I think everyone on DDF should vote for him, that will make you happy and tip the scale!

Now give us your thoughts on the portrait.

Byron Donalds walks back remarks on segregation, says he doesn't think "Jim Crow was great"

Typical media hit job. may have been a poor framing but he never said Jim crow was positive just pointed out that "during Jim Crow, the Black family was together" where's the lie?

The good 'ol days weren't so good but that does not take away from the positives.

Biden isn't the best option. Pretending the economy is doing terrible does not solve anything.

Jim Crow was a terrible time for blacks. You don't bring up associated with a positive.
How about someone brings up good things under H? You just don't do it even if it was true.

we do say for example that we miss the jewish unity that existed in dark times so it really comes down to semantics.

Can't find a breakdown but it looks like over 15mm jobs have been created so far.
Didn't we lose jobs under the last admin?

Under H the Jews experienced great unity! Now say it three times in less than a minute and see if anyone will be upset.

This is part of a thread. I picked this tweet as it is an interesting glance at Bidenomics. Is this what we want in order to help the economy?

not sure how many of these jobs are federal vs state. As long as the real estate boom continues will probably see more government jobs.

So you want to move the goalpost.  :)
Jobs are booming under Biden. It can be because of the easter bunny for all anyone cares.

Are we going to say the reason inflation got so high is because the last admin shut down the economy and this admin had to kick start it? The last admin left us with shortages of everything. So just blame them. Goalposts don't work that way.

Biden isn't the best option. Pretending the economy is doing terrible does not solve anything.

Since I asked about "at this point", and you're saying Biden isn't the best option, I take it that you think Trump is the best option at this point.  :P (remember, the choice is binary).

Who's pretending anything about how the economy is doing? What the economy is doing now is almost meaningless when looking at the next 4 years.

Did I give any credit or point blame at Trump or Biden for how the economy did or is doing?

Who should we blame for the lack of a proper infrastructure bill? (probably both sides playing politics, I didn't really follow, as I have little confidence in either side. The exception would be if any party had control of both chambers as well as the presidency, yet failed to put through a proper infrastructure bill).

You posted a tweet trying to explain it away. You use negative terms pretending you didn't mean something. That might work on a cult member but not me.  :P

And to set the record straight almost 3mm jobs were lost under the last admin.
