Beyond the crazy politics, Kevin and Joe have found some common ground on which to agree. Toward something positive for both of them.

Joe knows that Kevin isn't truly a Trumper and Kevin may have explained that to Joe in private.

McCarthy, like many invertebrate Republicans, humor Trump's cult, but recognize they need to dump the serial Loser. The Speaker is still a danger to the nation, however.

Threatening to destroy the good faith and credit of the United States unless he and his ideological kamikazes get spending cuts they refuse to identify is a nifty way to crush the thriving economy.

• The February Jobs Report showed that the U.S. economy added more jobs than projected in the previous month, with payrolls growing by 517,000 compared to an expected 185,000
• Wage growth was also strong, with increases of 4.4% year-over-year

On February 3, 2023, the United States released its latest jobs report. Before the release, economists projected an increase of around 185,000 jobs. Instead, 517,000 jobs were added in January. This is the largest increase in the last six months and almost triple the expectation.

Data for December was also revised upward. January’s report stated that the economy gained 223,000 jobs in December, but the February report noted that the economy gained 260,000 jobs in the final month of 2022.

The report also noted unemployment falling to a more than 50-year low of 3.4% and a wage increase of .3% for an average year-over-year rise of 4.4%.

This report indicates a far stronger labor market than expected. The greatest increases came in leisure and hospitality, with 128,000 jobs added. Despite this, leisure and hospitality payrolls are roughly half a million jobs below pre-pandemic levels.

Other significant increases came in professional and business services, health care and government, which was partially helped by the return of striking university workers in California.

Signs point toward continued strength in the labor market, with an average of 1.9 job openings for every unemployed person in the U.S.

Kevin McCarthy, the GOP’s State of the Union face

The new Republican speaker is vowing no Pelosi-style viral moments as he sits behind President Joe Biden. But no matter what he does, he’ll be closely watched.

Sure! And hence to finding of common ground between Kevin and Joe!

Biden will lay out his legislative itinerary in March.

Understandably, McCarthy refuses to explain where the cuts he craves would be made.
