Unemployment Drops To 3.6%, Payrolls Up 263,000, Showing Economy Remains Strong

Just when democrats think things couldn't possibly get worse for them in their resistance of Donald Trump, the Labor Department reports record low unemployment - again. We haven't seen such good numbers since 1969!

Meanwhile, democrats are scrambling to find a way to discredit the AG, the president, the Constitution, the Electoral College, the justice system, and of course the American people - especially Trump supporters.

While the country celebrates another win, democrats are in fear for their political lives.

Are you celebrating today?

When you get rid of useless EPA regulations which do nothing for the environment, you unbind the chains of private businesses now to flourish.

When you get government out of the way of the people, the people can start living and working again.

When you expose the eight years of the Barack Obama tyranny, your nation thrives.

When you negotiate trade deals out of strength, you put your country in a better position to gain.

Game over for the left and their delusional and warped ideological approach to an economy.

Trump obliterated the last sixty years of liberal utopian globalism, it needed to be destroyed. This diabolical leftist plague was ushering in a police state surveillance state technocracy. It was destroying our personal liberty and our national sovereignty. This president has bought America more time, that is all we can ask....

Fair comment....totally agree@Subsumedpat

@therighttothink50 Yes lets get rid of all the useless EPA regulations and go back to poisoning our streams and lets make the air so that you can't go outside in a big city without a face mask like in many places in China. But that is ok the economy will be good. And global warming that is a hoax the sea levels are not rising because ice is melting, aliens are sneaking in at night and adding water to the ocean to screw with us.

@Subsumedpat [quote]I just dislike it when politicians try to take credit for things outside of their control, it is so two faced and full of lies when they do.[/quote]

Agreed - and Obama hasn't been around to fuck things up for over two years now.

How can you celebrate when black people in general are in poverty because of discrimination in USA? The healthcare system is BROKEN, the inner cities are slum, the homeless haven't a place to live, college students are indebt for their entire lives, the handicapped can't do what others do because there are no mass transits outside of New York and San Francisco? And Big business like Big Pharma is killing half of USA with their legal drugdealing? People do drugs because they are more unhappy in the USA than any other western Christian country!

You don't care about others?

I will never understand anyone who care more about walls than single mothers and black people in the USA. In the rest of the western Christian world, people think oh we need to make it more equal so everyone is [b]happy.[/b] In the USA people think, I want to take care of [b]ME[/b] and I don't care about anyone but me.
This is the saddest thing about the USA.

@kodiac There are mentally ill that can't work, there are blind that can't drive, there are young that can't afford a car, and old that need help. We can't discriminate against these people just because we are healthy and strong and can work!

A country is as good as it can take care of all those who need help. I pray you don't become handicapped or blind and need help. Only in the USA can't the fathers stay home with newborn babies on maternity leave, only mothers. Its crazy how behind the laws are here. And infant mortality rate is twice as much in USA as in any other Christian western country. It is not ok that children die in the richest country in the world, or the mentally ill have to sleep on the street, or that Big pharma is legally charging so much for necessary meds and Big Banks get bailed out, and business can charge anything and be corrupt while government do nothing to stop it.

They say less government is better, no, its an excuse to take the taxes for themselves and do nothing for the people. Part of the problem is Christian Broadcasting Network and corrupt pastors who are not really Christians and have brainwashed the people in the USA that Government have to leave people alone, or can't help. I personally think that private Big business is killing the USA. And I believe in Government to keep business in check!

That is how it works in happier countries. I have lived in USA, Sweden, England, and France. Many countries have free colleges, free healthcare, cheap mass transit, but the politicians make less in those countries, and the people are happier like Sweden, and Denmark, and Norway. But there is a different mindset in those countries. Its not to pay less taxes but how can we have a better society.
kodiac · 22-25, M
@Carazaa It all sounds so good ,how do you make it work? Who goes out to round up the mentally ill to get them help ? Who can convince them they even need help? I could talk about 14 years in a foster care system that is worse than a nightmare, i could talk about being homeless with mental issues. I could talk about years of abuse ,i could use all those things as an excuse to rely on the system all my life . I choose not to ,it's as simple as that and 75%of the people you want to help could have made the same choice
Carazaa · F
@kodiac
Americans make so many excuses for their problems it drives me crazy. You have a choice, but some don't. Excuses to do nothing is not ok. We have to [i]care[/i] about the less fortunate than ourselves. One thing private business do and the government allows in the USA is to use sick days as vacation days, and to make people work [i]more[/i] than 40 hours a week for the same salary. This is so crazy.

People need vacation with their families every year, and need a job that is not killing them. Only in USA are kids in front of TV during summer breaks because parents have to work all summer. This is shocking to most people from other countries. In Europe parents get paid 5 weeks with their kids and a few weeks at Christmas. Families need that.

Yep, he said he would MAGA and he is delivering which is why the left has their panties in a knot.
Subsumedpat · 36-40, M
It is called a business cycle for a reason, it cycles up and down, always has and for a lot of different reasons. It has been better, it has been worse, it will be better, it will be worse. It also has little do to with politics, though politicians will take credit for it if it is good when they are in office and try to make excuses or blame it on someone else if it is bad when they are in office. We will probably go into another recession in about a year but when we do it will not be because of who is in office but because it is time.
Subsumedpat · 36-40, M
@Platinum The one I posted above in the conversation with Budwick just go back a few comments in this thread.

@Budwick You are calling Dubsumedpat stupid? Where are your manners. He helped you and explained economy to you. You obviously don't believe in free speech, nor manners, nor follow anything Jesus says. You are not a kind person!

No, he lied about economy.

"That damned Trump!", said everyone at MSNBC.
Wait a minute - what about Trump and Racism and Church bombings ?

@SW-User The stats are not accurate since the homeless or many others are not registering looking for jobs!

None of that matters to these people that don't want our country to prosper. They would rather have the country in the shitter than admit Trump did anything good.

@Greybare Amen!

Thank you Donald Trump!
Thank you America!
The butt hurt on this thread is real
Subsumedpat · 36-40, M
@Budwick I don't understand are you saying I lied or Ray Dailo the guy who did the video, and sidestepped the last great recession by predicting it lied. Perhaps you did not have the 30 minutes to understand how the economy works, here it is again in case you missed it.

@Subsumedpat OK - you stick with the crooked hedge fund asshole.
Subsumedpat · 36-40, M
@Budwick OK well I will leave you alone but with one last thing point, typically I have noticed that when a person is unable to articulate why a position is correct the lower themselves to name calling instead.
Budwick · 70-79, M
@Subsumedpat Really? That's been your experience?
Interesting.
My experience has been that those that refuse to see the forest for all the trees, have an agenda.

Best president in decades!!! That's why the dems cry so much. Their almighty King Obama couldn't shine Trump's shoes!

I am celebrating that the the Obama recovery is still going. I am celebrating that American workers are doing, and still doing well. I am also celebrating that there is sun and a possibility of temperatures above 60F. 😊

@monte3 Yeah, .. right.
Hey, tell Biden about your little theory.
Maybe it will give him the boost he needs in his going nowhere campaign.
monte3 · 70-79, M
THAT is a very weak answer.
As Americans our values and opinions should be like a Venn Diagram mostly overlapping but some unique outlier thoughts. @Budwick
Adaydreambeliever · 56-60, F
As others say.. delusional.. even if the STrumpet supporters see facts they ignore them and disbelieve it.. they can't cope with facts, and get their facts from STrump supporter's weekly.. aka fake news spoonfed into their willing, eager mouths..

Fact is.. gains and improvements were already set up by Obama's policies and in fact Strumpet is undoing a lot of good work.

@boobooII am not influenced by others at all. I listen and think for myself. It is a strength of mine. When I hear someone calling other people names and bullying that is not something I can stand behind! I like loving people!

This is under [b]hobbies?[/b]
In my humble opinion people are not happy! Many Americans don't have good healthcare or any at all! I have to spend $5000 deductible to go to the doctor if I was going to get healthcare having my own business!!!

Mortality rate in the USA is like the third world, totally unnecessary! Many in the USA care about themselves and don't care about the poor. Our President promised to improve infrastructure? Probably because his wife insisted since she is from Europe. People die every week outside my door because there are [b]no trains [/b]to the city here. You HAVE to drive. Nowhere in Europe do you have to drive.
Thevy29 · 41-45, M
Unemployment may be down. That's because people have to work two or three jobs just so they can live in a tent in the church parking lot.
Budwick · 70-79, M
@Thevy29 Nice try Sparky, but the data doesn't support your claim.

Under Obama that was true - not now.
Carazaa · F
@Thevy29 Exactly true. People in the USA are VERY unhappy compare to other Christian countries. As long as they have a house and a car they think the country is doing great!
JarJarBoom · 41-45, F
Can we really give credit to this administration when the trend of low unemployment started before he took office....just sayin
Budwick · 70-79, M
@JarJarBoom Yes, I think we can.
The previous administration has been gone for how long now?

Besides, a good number of them may be indicted soon, so ....
JarJarBoom · 41-45, F
wow, lets look at the trend....which started going down WAY before 3-4 years ago
Magenta · F
But those whom hate will turn an utter blind eye and only see the bad or what they want to. They don't realize the next President could be worse.
