B-Man Posted May 8, 2021 Posted May 8, 2021 I’ve written it before and I’ll write it many more times over the next several years. You get what you vote for, and policy always outweighs personality in the end. If you were shallow enough to vote against Donald Trump and a roaring economy because you wanted the government to represent some quasi-religious bastion of decorum instead, congrats and enjoy your consequences. --Bonchie ‘Black unemployment rate rose to 9.7%’: https://twitchy.com/samj-3930/2021/05/07/black-unemployment-rate-rose-to-9-7-mollie-hemingway-breaks-down-jobs-report-by-the-numbers-and-its-even-worse-than-we-thought/ 1

BillStime Posted May 8, 2021 Posted May 8, 2021 11 hours ago, Over 29 years of fanhood said: Unemployment just increased in the jobs report we just got. we’re supposed opening up and vaccinated. That’s unjustifiable. Bond market is predicted signaling significant inflation. Several commodities are undergoing hyperinflation... Reopening was a political slam dunk and it’s being handled with neolithic incompetence.

Less pressure on Powell to raise interest rates. Bad news on Main Street can sometimes mean a good day for Wall Steeet. Unemployment ticking up also helps in that regard.

This thread was about an economy in peril, when we all know it's people choosing not to work, and collecting UI. Keep in mind Trump was 100% on board with stimulus and unemployment bonuses and extensions. Even if he won, this situation would be no different, so it's really not a 'Biden' issue at all. This thread should be on Fox news as a hit piece. Trumps the guy who out of the blue said 2,000 dollar checks bucking his party that the Dems eventually passed through reconciliation. I doubt that gets done without him.
Niagara Bill Posted May 8, 2021 Posted May 8, 2021 8 hours ago, BillStime said: You get what you vote for... ...imagine the unemployment rate had they raised minimum wage to $15/hour The min wage us a boogie man. I suggest it is not a problem since it is equal for all. It does devalue but equality is a balancing. Free bees, welfare, food stamps, are more damaging, helping few, creates a % of the population who does not participate in the economy and flows money to the drug culture in many cases. Much easier to spend government money on drugs than earned money. It is hard to stand on the corner, or hide with your needle when you are working for a good wage. A new baby should not equate to a raise in welfare. A higher min wage helps lift the veil off the non participating population. I understand the competition stuff, but it is far less than you may think. The government can reduce other contributions based on wage rate by reducing % at the same time. Put the population to work.
Doc Posted May 8, 2021 Posted May 8, 2021 It only took a few months for people to realize why they wanted Dems gone after 8 years of Barry. The mid-terms should be epic.

This thread should be on Fox news as a hit piece. You think unemployment is lower than 6 percent? Remember that they only count people who are “actively” searching for work, which until 1 month ago was none, due to the pandemic. The real number is much higher. 1 million new people were applying for UI every week since last April. That number didn’t start to come down until just a few months ago.

Boatdrinks Posted May 8, 2021 Posted May 8, 2021 Dem states just now getting around to a kind of sort of reopening , while FLA , et al have been chugging along for months already. Libs too worried about how much freedom they’ll “ allow” to worry about the economy. Paid 0.80 more per gallon of gas today than I did in October. Only going to go higher.
