jobless claims set record

Vita and Noir, the two blind mice who can’t see the help wanted signs on every business in America.

It’s ok fellas, we’re all just happy whore mongers. Nobody will hold supporting the senile old coot against you. No need to pretend he has done absolutely anything that improves the lives of US citizens.

You do very little original thinking. Sort of like a "cover" band.


Trumpites and their election fraud SPIN. But unable to acknowledge the election fraud claims of 2016.
It's possible Mr. Trump lost......twice.

Given that red states predominantly have the lowest unemployment rates and blue states predominantly have the highest, we can give almost ALL the credit to the fine Republican governors and Republican state legislators:

And of course to President Trump, who brought the unemployment rate down from 14.4% in April, 2020 to 6.2% when he left office. Any improvements since then have just been a continuation of the trend established under President Trump:

I'm being sarcastic, of course, at least as far as Trump and the rebound from the COVID lockdowns is concerned. I do believe Republican state government, and Republicans in general, are better at creating conditions that lead to full employment in the private sector. Yes, Biden's American Rescue Plan did goose the economy. But at the same time it extended benefits not to work. So I'm not sure it had a positive effect on employment. It did add to inflationary pressures.

... Yep... Too right, mates. That's the way I see it.

Any way you care to slice it - TRUMP is Better than Biden.

Maybe you could explain it to us. What did Biden do to get what you called great jobless numbers? And if these numbers are so great, why are his poll numbers on the economy, in the tank? Must be the messaging, huh?


And why wouldn't your analogy apply to Trump
