You are unemployed and want a new job, under a Democratic president you have a better chance of getting one!

Ain’t anonymous message boards great? You can be the hero you are in your own mind.

We all live in the same world. The pandemic was a world problem and as such, comparisons of how things were handled has to be done.

Bill Clinton stated this evening that since 1989, 51 million new jobs have been created and under the Democrats, of those 51, 49 million were created under Democratic presidents and only 2 million were created under Republican presidents.

Clinton said he had to check it 3 times but that it was confirmed.

Here is a link to one of the articles that confirms that information:

“Since 1989 and a new age of globalization began, 51 million jobs have been created in America. 49 million, 96%, have been created under Democratic presidents.”

This means that more Americans were working under Democratic rule than under Republican presidents. More people working means a better economy, better lives, and better life for all.

This is also something that is true and that has been confirmed 100%

Political parties do not create jobs.

 

[sparky]

What were the jobs? Did the jobs actually last or were they throw away jobs? How many were more useless government agencies created? There is a whole lot of lack of information there.

Nonetheless, there is this data:

How much money is exchanged in the stock market daily?

The U.S. stock market trading volume averaged $460 billion dollars a day as of July 2022 (source: Cboe U.S. Equities Market Volume Summary). Major exchanges include the NYSE, NASDAQ, and CBOE.

Evidently, some knowledge of economics is needed to trade the market, don't you agree?

Political parties do not create jobs.

they don't create job but they do help to set up the scenarios where more or less jobs are created.

What I take from your post, is that you are only interested in blaming who you want to blame no matter the facts involved, right?

Oh yeah, Biden is the worst, Trump is God, the Republicans want to MAGA and the Democrats want communistic socialism. The rich should get help and the poor need to look out for themselves. Government is bad and the rich should be allowed to do whatever they want without any controls.

Fantastic scenario. I hope you are rich and that you have all the firepower needed to fend anyone off that wants what you got (if you have anything). After all, you cannot depend on the laws (as they are written now) to help you.

Last but not least, I hope you are willing to kiss the ass of those in power, because if you don't want to do that, you may end up "out of the protected circle" of those that are willing to do so. After all, Trump does not like anyone that believes in anything he doesn't personally want you to believe in.

You are making one BIG mistake. The Democrats are not looking to be a socialist country. They believe in Democratic Socialism, such as Norway has. In addition, no one is trying to get rid of Capitalism. All that is being done is to have some controls and restrictions, so that it is not "unfettered" as the chart shows.

This is what our forefathers wanted when they made the Constitution. They wanted compromise between the parties so no extremes were able to be reached. Uncontrolled Socialism (Communism) is as bad and Uncontrolled Capitalism. Both have to be restricted and controlled so the good comes out and is used and the bad of each is not given a chance to come out.

Do you understand????? It is the center of politics. Not the Far Right or the Far Left.

We could do a lot of what Norway does, if we tripled our fossil fuel production.

 

[Toddsterpatriot]

I don't care if the government helps the private sector, provided it also serves, and meets the needs, of the working class. Republicans, mostly, are for socialism for the capitalist class exclusively, whether they know it or admit it or not. OK, we also need socialism for the working class. Socialism for both, not just one class at the expense of the other. At least the Dems are a bit more conscious of the needs of the working class, whereas Republicans hold workers in contempt. They're mostly the party of the rich and powerful.

Businesses need help, some assistance, OK, no problem. I'm for helping American businesses that create jobs and keep their businesses here in America. Especially American manufacturers who hire American labor. We currently have a market-capitalist system, and socialism mitigates its inherent contradictions, and flaws and addresses its needs. I'm for helping both employers and employees, not just the employers.

Help businesses, help workers too. Get it? ​

At least the Dems are a bit more conscious of the needs of the working class,

Was the Washington state government controlled by the Republicans when they gave
Boeing $13.2 billion in subsidies?

 

[Toddsterpatriot]

Thanks for the insult.

By the way, I have been an analyst in the stock market for 47 years and worked for the 2 top firms in the industry. As such, I know economics or I wouldn't have lasted 1 year doing that.

Which 2?

 

[TruthNotBS]

We could do a lot of what Norway does, if we tripled our fossil fuel production.

Why would we need to triple our fossil fuel production to have Universal Medicare or other social programs? I'm not necessarily against increasing fossil fuel production along with gradually transitioning to nuclear energy, but what does fossil fuel production have to do with social programs and public works?

You completely ignored what I said. My issue is not with assisting the private sector but with the hypocrisy of Republicans who have no problem pouring billions, even trillions into the coffers of multibillion-dollar companies while making a stink about any social program that serves the working class. When the government spends money on infrastructure, or on social programs for working-class people, the Republicans start shouting "Who's going to pay for that?!", "We're broke, we don't have the money for that!", but they have no qualms or objections to serving the interests of the rich to the tune of trillions of dollars.

At least the Dems are more aware and concerned for the needs of the poor and working class. Biden with all of his hoakiness, is pro-labor unions, pro-worker rights. He's not anywhere as socialist as Bernie Sanders or AOC, but he's better than the Republican conservatives. Are Dems perfect? No, but they're the lesser of two evils when it comes to serving the working class. Republicans just care about the rich and powerful, to the detriment of the working class.

Status of account for 2007: Profit of $9,758 per 100 shares

Per 100 shares of what?

I trade about 180 times a year. I am diversified into at least 6 different stocks with none of the stocks having more than 15% of the portfolio. When I say "per 100 shares", it means that it could be as little as 100 shares of a $300 stock or as much at 1000 shares of a $30 stock. As such, I give results based on 100 shares per stock, meaning at least a 30% profit on the entire portfolio for the year.

Which 2?

Merrill Lynch and Pru-Bache. I worked for them in the 80's. They were the top two firms then.
