The Ultimate Winner
WTF are you smoking? Who set the bar at 300,000K? 299,999K is “sub-par job growth” in you alternative universe?That happened six times under Obama. Can you link to your posts back then when you cheered?It's so nice to see a 6 figure jobs gain with a 3 handle. We should have had a few years at this rate, but Obabble felt that some people had earned enough money by now.
6 times during Obabble's Reign of Malaise means that 93.75% of his term saw sub-par job growth.
Not to mention, Trump’s hit the 300K mark in 7.6% of his term.
I've posted the analysis in the past. Obama's lack of a real recovery cost the economy MILLIONS of jobs. Take a look at Reagan's job creation vs. Obabble's . The latter's is atrocious considering the tee up after a recession. Trump is early in his terms, with the tax burden and regulatory changes just starting to have an impact.
Well what is the "real" unemployment number? You do know there are people out there looking for work but can't find any. What is TRUMP doing about them? LOL. What's the REAL unemployment number?Who’s crying? All I see are folks on the left making fun of folks on the right for trashing Obama’s good numbers as phony; where now suddenly, for some reason, those same numbers are real.Come on sealy plenty of lefty’s crying in this thread. When Obama was in office, the extreme right cried when good happened and now the extreme left is crying when good happens. Party over America is a sad reality.
Oh, the ol’ “they did it first” mentality. So you are just trolling, thanks for letting me know you aren’t serious.
What is Trump doing about this?
Most people in the U.S. are living in financially precarious circumstances. Half of all Americans have nothing put away for retirement and the vast majority of them have under $1,000 saved, total.
According to a 2016 GOBankingRates survey, 35 percent of all adults in the U.S. have only several hundred dollars in their savings accounts and 34 percent have zero. Only 15 percent have over $10,000 stashed away.
BTW, I am one of those 15%.
We are hiring and can't find qualified people, I don't know anyone that is out job hunting right now, but that could be just in our area, I am not sure.
As far as personal finances, that is every individuals responsibility, not the government. People tend to spend more than what they make.
The reason I bring these things up is that Republicans kept asking Americans if they were better off than they were 8 years ago. Well if they don't have any savings then they are no better off now than they were then. If Americans aren't saving that's not just because they aren't saving. It's because they aren't making enough. Consider my dad in 1975 made $13 at Ford Motor. That's $13 hr plus great healthcare benefits and a pension. Compare that to Walmart employees today making $10 hr and no benefits or terrible benefits.
Alls I'm saying is Trump has not made America great again.
And you can't look at this fact and say the problem is simply that Americans spend too much. That is what Republicans were saying when Bush was in office but then Obama got in office and suddenly Republicans were willing to admit that too many Americans aren't making enough money.
Why half of Americans can't come up with $400 in an emergency
You are clearly not making enough money if you can't come up with $400. It's not that you spend too much. Well it's that too but mostly it's you don't make enough $
I'm better off than two years ago.
As far as people spending, we don't need to spend $200 on basketball shoes, we don't need 65 inch screens. If you can't afford it, don't buy it, save it. Comparing a job at Ford to Walmart is silly. Walmart would have been a $1.90 or whatever minimum wage was back then. I have always maintained Americans spend way too much and should save and invest.
