    Wow, look at the absolute shyt job Obama did. It can be argued that Trump not only turned around Obama’s horrible numbers, but his policies continued into Brandon’s first year.

    So what policies do you credit Brandon’s jobs to?

    Biden is as hapless as Usain Bolt is fast.

    Brandon's December jobs report was a dismal 199,000 jobs despite persistent labor shortages. Economists were shocked by the faceplant they had expected 422,000 new jobs. The US economy has 10,562,000 unfilled positions, yet, Brandon can't even come up with 200,000 new jobs. It's becoming Mayor Pete syndrome.

    Maybe y’all are on to something cheering the president with fan names. His numbers are destroying the prior administration.

    Let’s go Brandon, he’s doing a great job!

    Even if it is revised up it's still less than 1/2 of what was expected.

    After the Trump Recovery took it to over 12%

    upload_2022-1-7_20-26-24.png

    And was Trump injecting a TRILLION dollars of printed money into the economy during those years? Inflating the economy 7%? Eclipsing the 6.5% GDP growth.

    As 99,000 leave the workforce and the lowest labor force participation rates in decades.

    How did he create jobs the first three months of his Presidency? How has he done so now when the labor force seems to be shrinking or stagnant.

    Civilian labor force 12/20 - 160,671,000
    Civilian labor force 12/21 - 162,294,000

    That's 1,623,000

    I respect your attempts to tarnish Biden's economic record.

    The 12.2% was in July 2021, Biden was POTUS for 6 months.

    After a drop of 9.2% during his mandate...

    It should have done so when the economy was collapsing, instead of running unnecessary deficits in times of growth.

    It's been the same thing for 35 years: a Republican is elected in a period of growth, he wrecks the economy, runs deficits and leaves behind a recession.

    Voters elect a Democrat to pick up the pieces and the cycle begins again.

    And when it's not a recession, it's a war, an out-of-control pandemic... or a riot to overthrow democracy.... or all three at the same time.

    Republicans are a calamity to this nation.

    yes, the fed was dumping trillions into the economy pre-covid to keep it afloat

    yet Trump tried to claim it was the greatest economy ever

    As another poster said, people going back to work because the “pandemic” is coming to a close isn’t “creating jobs”. LOL
