Jobs Report Blows Away Recession Fears as Trump Economy Continues to Soar

[Terri4Trump]

It's Breitbart. Hardly a reliable source on the economy........

Oh shut up stupid. The story is about what Manning said, so it doesn't matter what outlet I go to you idiot.

Here, is this better?

NewswireNow - Rick Manning: Jobs Report Blows Away Recession Fears as Trump Economy Continues to Soar

I graduated from Norco High School in 1975. I am now eligible to collect Social Security. And there are fewer Americans unemployed today than the summer I graduated high school.

 

[Markle]

After the bail out of the auto industries. They became very profitable from 2014 and beyond to 2019.
That is why I keep saying this is Obama’s economy. It is not Trump economy.

You say lots of things. No one cares.

 

[charwin95]

Wrong again. Economy was already booming in 2015 and 2016.
Oh I’m going to stop investing because Hillary or Bush is the president. That’s dumb.

It wasn't Booming, it was getting better, again, because most Americans found new money in their pockets thanks to the decrease in fuel prices.

One of my former coworkers stated he was saving over $125.00 a month, plus what he saved on his heating home bill. Another one who also lived far away from work was saving $80.00 a month, but all his kids were grown and he didn't have to drive them everywhere.

That drop in price was real money to middle-class people. They were able to payoff credit cards faster, able to buy new vehicles sooner, able to put that new money into circulation since it was all disposable income.

The problem with the DumBama legacy is you on the left give him credit simply for being in the right place at the right time. You can't name anything positive he did, so you sit there and say Obama was President, so he was the one that did something. The fact of the matter is he didn't do squat.

Well you just shot your own foot.
If gas prices went down, people saves money.... improving the economy. Obama was awesome. Then spill over to 2017 and 2018. Then unemployment was down in 2015 and 2016 spill over in 2017 and 2018. It’s Obama’s economy.

I can name you Obama’s accomplishment but I will just hurt your feelings. That is why Obama’s popularity is far far better here in US and overseas than your racist piece of shit POTUS.

The problem with people like you who don’t give Obama the credits because of your hatred.

Wrong. I'll give anybody credit deserving of it. But when you have a guy who's administration didn't allow oil exploration in the US on public lands, virtually kicked out the oil drillers in the Gulf, shut down coal mines, closed electric companies, you have an anti-energy President.

No, you can't name me anything DumBama did for businesses because everything he did was to harm them. Again, the lower fuel prices were because of fracking. That's it in a nutshell. DumBama had absolutely nothing to do with it.

Just a pile of cow dung. With your hatred? I doubt every single post you made about Obama.

Okay let me ask you the same questions I’ve been asking for a long time but Trump lickers keeps avoiding it.

What are Obama’s policies that harm businesses?

Again. I keep repeating this. If you really an honest person. Look at the economy in 2015 and 2016. Do you honestly believe that the economy is this good without 2015 and 2016 investments?

Oh, without a doubt I hate Obama. I never hated a former President more in my life than him. If he fell down a stairway and broke his neck, I couldn't' be happier.

I don't know if you have a selective reading problem, or a serious comprehension problem. So one more time:

The economy picked up in 2015 thanks to the reduction in fuel prices which DumBama had nothing to do with. Quit giving him credit for something he had no control over.

Again just another pile of cow dung. I can say the same with Trump but I will not lower myself to your level of hurting someone.

You keep blabbering about Obama’s policies hurt business. I asked you a question.
You avoided or trying to deflect. Please answer my question.

Manning: Jobs Report Blows Away Recession Fears

There were fewer people unemployed in America in August 2019 than there were in August 1975 when we were just shy of 69 million fewer people in the economy.

ME: Trump keeps winning and America is better for it every time. Who can deny that Trump is the greatest president ever. Only a fool would try

If job creation has slowed just a little, here is why: The slowdown suggests the severe labor shortage is holding back economic growth:
source: Job growth is slowing, but the US economy is doing just fine

A Labor shortage is beyond Trump's control.
> 130,000 new jobs were added to the US economy, compared to 159,000 positions created in July. But here's the thing: Since we are already at perfect employment, its no big deal. If we had tons of unemployment then the slowdown would be a serious concern, but we don't, so it isn't.

Get it kiddies?

As Obama Takes Victory Lap Over Auto Industry Rescue, Here Are The Lessons Of The Bailout

The decision to bail out General Motors and Chrysler, and aid their financing subsidiaries and suppliers through loan guarantees in 2009 in the teeth of the economic meltdown that gripped world markets, was hotly debated at the time and since. But given the 640,000 auto industry jobs created since then and the record sales by the industry in 2015, the President has room to crow.

GM still owes taxpayers $11.2 billion. Chrysler is no longer an American automaker, it is owned by Fiat so it is an Italian automaker.

As you know, the automakers were not rescued. The auto unions were rescued.

Numerous times I have asked the far-left how many fewer cars would have been bought in the US had GM and Chrysler been allowed to go through the usual bankruptcy process. They refuse to answer because they know that we would have sold exactly the same number of new cars. That means the same number of workers would have built them.

Bankruptcy would have broken up the two car manufacturers into several parts. That would have resulted in new management and that would have rid the companies of the old, failed management along with the massive legacy costs. Failed former President Barack Hussein Obama owed the auto unions far, far too much to allow that to have happened.

I asked you if the link is inaccurate.

You posted something different. So you are lying.

 

[Frannie]

Without those 30,000 government jobs, the number would’ve been around 95,000.

Did Obama ever Have a single month where job creation was only around 95,000?

Job creation does not matter unless it is less that the job losses Obooba caused

Next wet fart

You are quoting my post with lies. And you have your buddies Ray foaming squandering trying to quote me with dishonesty. At the same time avoiding my question.

Manning: Jobs Report Blows Away Recession Fears

Unfortunately the majority of it is on credit cards and will crash in on all. between the govt, corporations and citizens-40 trillion in debt. Greed run capitalism is no good. The poor are about to become devastated.

Stay calm, Chicken Little ... the sky is not falling.

Manning: Jobs Report Blows Away Recession Fears

Peak Trump cultism... The August jobs report was a disappointment and came in under the already tempered expectations.

And another triggered Chicken Little clucks. Are you worried that there will be no recession and/or economic collapse in time to save the Democrat Socialist Party from their 2020 doom?

And 25000 of these jobs were temporary census jobs. We'll see -there are some bad indicators. And you can thank the orange clown trade Wars and Tariff idiocy and chaos in general.

As much as you mindless leftards pray for the US to crash & burn there are no bad indicators according to those with the cojones to invest in America, Comrade Franco. They seem to believe you are an ignorant IDIOT and are willing to put up good money to prove it. Do you hold short positions or are you just another bitter leftarded mouth with no balls and no brains?

Fellow brain-dead 'tard Bill Maher doesn't even try to hide his disdain & disloyalty. Like many on the left, he doesn't care who gets hurt as long as his mindless hatred is served:

Liberal Media Scream: Bill Maher cheers economic collapse if it dooms Trump
“I’ve been hoping for a recession — people hate me for it — but it would get rid of Trump, so you shouldn’t hate me for it.”
To which, Barro noted: “Recessions are really bad. People lose their jobs and their homes.”
Maher doubled down: “I know. It’s worth it.”

Actually I always wanted a businessman but a smart businessman. The world economy is still fragile and this is not smart. Plus tax cuts for the rich are not going to help what ails America after 35 years of GOP bulshit give away to the rich and ridiculous propaganda.

Oh God the irony, read it and weep libtard. Gross Domestic Product | U.S. Bureau of Economic Analysis (BEA)

What exactly do you think that proves? Obama hit 5% a couple of times, by your logic he wins.

This is where I ask you what specific Obama policies boosted GDP and you shit yourself.

You're kidding, right? He saved the auto industry, that's hundreds of thousands of jobs, he bailed out the banks (which I hate, but things would have been worse if he hadn't), he first supported and them renominated bernanke, and so on. You kids seem to forget the shape things were in when he took over. A republican administration handed him an economic disaster, markets in a free fall, hemorrhaging jobs, failing financial institutions, the worst situation since the great depression in the 1930s.

I've been around for both major recessions. Hands down, Reagan's was much worse than DumBama's. In the 80's recession, there weren't even any McDonald's jobs available.

If DumBama didn't help his union buddies in the auto industry, they would have had to file for bankruptcy and be reorganized by the courts.

Tell me if these links are inaccurate or false. Or you are being dishonest again.

In the five years since GM's bankruptcy it made $22.6 billion. But taxpayers lost $10.6 billion on bailout that saved the company.

You're so fucking dense, Leftard.

Americans and our economy are doing fine, the "bad indicators" you claimed do not exist, and investors are putting their money where their mouths are ... into our investment markets. Meanwhile you hate-filled, anti-American 'tards invariably put your feet where your mouths are..

You keep blabbering about Obama’s policies hurt business. I asked you a question.
You avoided or trying to deflect. Please answer my question.

I'll start on a personal note.

Our company is a same day service where business changes on a dime. It requires us to have rapid and reliable communications as we are on the road driving not able to pull over trucks and big rigs.

This was not a problem before DumBama. We had what was called Nextel two way radios for that purpose. After the Obama administration created regulations that stopped us from communicating, Nextel went out of business, and there hasn't been a reliable service since then to take it's place.

My employer had to buy all new phones equip with bluetooth and buy us all ear pieces for communications. They were nearly impossible to deal with and often times when we had to communicate with other drivers, the ear pieces made that impossible. That could only be done by manually picking up the phone.

It drove my employer crazy because instead of the radio, drivers had to use the bluetooth cell phone service; another expense for my employer, to call shop. In spite of how busy our phones already were to begin with, now the phone was ringing off the hook between customers and drivers.

The fine for a driver caught using a cell phone for first offense is $2,100. If caught communicating with the company, their first time fine is $10,000; all for using a Fn phone or two-way radio.

Now I don't have the time to illustrate each and every business killing policy of that freak, so you can read this instead:

No, failed former President Barack Hussein Obama did NOT save GM and Chrysler. Obama saved the AUTO UNIONS.

Had President Obama NOT bailed out the auto unions as he did, how many fewer new cars do you believe would have been sold in the United States?

There is so much wrong with that I don't know where to start.

So tell us.

Had President Obama.not bailed out the American auto industry most of those cars you're so proud of would have been European or Asian. And Ford couldn't have stood alone. Without the other two of the "big three" the supply chain wouldn't have been there.

What would the bailouts have to do with oil prices?

So GM is profitable. Think that wouldn't have happened if they filed bankruptcy instead and fixed the areas that caused their problems in the first place?

This is good for Democrats since the money going to the UAW gets transferred to the Democrat party come election time.

Without those 30,000 government jobs, the number would’ve been around 95,000.

Did Obama ever Have a single month where job creation was only around 95,000?

Job creation does not matter unless it is less that the job losses Obooba caused

Next wet fart

Obama didn't create any jobs. Trump did not create any jobs. Bush did not create any jobs. Clinton did not create any jobs.

Jobs are created in the private sector. The only thing government can do is make it easier or harder for the private sector to do so.

 

[Crepitus]

I've thought about visiting the hardcore Trumpster websites to see how they discuss economics, but I don't think I want to see it.

I see enough of it here, and that's disturbing enough.
.

Fed chairman says you’re an idiot

tRump's hand picked fed chairman that he now twits about so negatively? Does anyone care what he thinks?

Watch what they actually DO. They've already cut 25bps, and markets are screaming for 50pbs more.
.

Which we really should save for a later date.

Yeah, that would have been nice. I'm sure the Fed would have liked to be sitting at, at least, 4.0% on the funds rate, but this "soaring" economy needs help.

Hopefully 50bps will be enough. A good deal with China would be better.
,

If we were at 4.0 we'd have somewhere to go, more bullets in the gun. The rate should have been increasing for the last few years of the Obama administration as well as the first part of tRump's.

[Crepitus]

this is where nobody answers you because youre too f'n stupid to understand .

As predicted you can't point to any of Obama's policies that helped boost GDP. Meanwhile we can point to his many policies and decisions which were anti growth and anti business. This is why the American people rejected you stupid tards in 2016 hello.

your head is so far up Trumps fat ass theres not an explanation that suits you -

ergo,

stfu

Trump has beaten you, face facts. Organize group therapy or relo to Canada.

Are you kidding? tRump couldn't even beat Hillary Clinton, one of the worst candidates ever nominated, without Russian assistance.

Brainwashing has always fascinated me as well as scare me at the same time.

You know the Russians are the acknowledged experts in the field, right?
