#Job Creation

[liberalsarecool]

Two things:

1. Trump policies and willful Covid inaction destroyed the economy. Crushed jobs.

2. Biden inherited Trump's horrendous clusterfcuk of an economy, passed Democratic policies, and was massively successful at creating jobs.

Democrats are better at government for The People. Republicans create/increase trauma.

The ulterior motive to keep Haiti in turmoil

Republicans sometimes compete with each other to make stupid comments and to obfuscate factual reality.

What they try to get voters to forget is that they suck bigtime at job creation.

Another excellent monthly report on job growth came out of the Department of Labor on Friday.

Employers added 254,000 jobs in September, blowing away forecasts

Few jobs were created during the two Bush administrations. And the economy actually LOST 2,410,000 jobs from beginning to end of the Trump administration.

Check out the stats yourself at FRED (Federal Reserve Economic Data) at the site of the Federal Reserve Bank of St. Louis.

All Employees, Total Nonfarm (PAYEMS) | FRED | St. Louis Fed

Here's a graph from FRED showing the total number of jobs in the US economy. It covers 1989 to 2024 and is for total nonfarm payroll – the statistical standard for jobs. I didn't alter it except to add red and blue across the top to designate the administrations of G.H.W. Bush, Clinton, G.W. Bush, Obama, Trump, and Biden. The gray columns on the chart indicate recessions.

There's a cycle that's clear to see. Republicans screw up the economy, then Democrats get elected and work to fix it while Republicans complain that Dems aren't cleaning up the GOP mess fast enough.

Indirectly related to jobs: it was President Joe Biden and Transportation Sec. Pete Buttigieg who helped work out a tentative end to the dockworkers strike. It's difficult to imagine Trump having the brains or patience to do something like this.

"Senator, I don't want to get caught up on facts, but the share of American-born folks in their prime working years who have jobs is higher than at any point during the Trump administration, and indeed, it's the highest it's ever been since the BLS started publishing these numbers," Wolfers wrote in his response to Vance.”

In addition to showing that the economy added more than 250,000 jobs over the last month, the Friday jobs report also showed wages grew at 4 percent, easily outpacing the 2.5 percent rate of inflation.

Why does MAGA politicians just lie lie lie? Because they know that they’re speaking to an audience that doesn’t know how to read or do their own research 🧐

« I belong to neither party and have voted for both Democrats and Republicans — but because I believe him to be a defender of the Constitution and a public servant of honor and of grace at a time when extreme forces threaten the nation. I do not agree with everything he has done or wanted to do in terms of policy. But I know him to be a good man, a patriot and a president who has met challenges all too similar to those Abraham Lincoln faced.

Here is the story I believe history will tell of Joe Biden. With American democracy in an hour of maximum danger in Donald Trump’s presidency, Mr. Biden stepped in the breach. He staved off an authoritarian threat at home, rallied the world against autocrats abroad, laid the foundations for decades of prosperity, managed the end of a once-in-a-century pandemic, successfully legislated on vital issues of climate and infrastructure and has conducted a presidency worthy of the greatest of his predecessors. History and fate brought him to the pinnacle in a late season in his life, and in the end, he respected fate — and he respected the American people. »

— Historian Jon Meacham in a guest column at the New York Times on the legacy of President Joe Biden.

Biden restored calm, stability, and sanity to the federal government after a coup attempt and the horribly botched Trump response to the COVID-19 pandemic. He did more than anybody else outside Ukraine to keep it from falling into the kleptocratic totalitarian hands of imperialist Vladimir Putin. And Biden's infrastructure and stimulus programs have restored American manufacturing jobs which Trump's empty bombastic promises failed to do.

Historically, imagine combining Gerald Ford's modesty, John F. Kennedy's determination to prevent the spread of totalitarianism, FDR's efforts to create jobs, with Barack Obama's inclusiveness and you come close to defining the Biden presidency.

Of course Biden still has six months to go. He can now concentrate on governance without the distraction of an election campaign.
