    Whatever number that is they'll be happy to know that Biden created 353K jobs for them, in December alone, so they won't have to be unemployed for long.

    Do feel free to keep trying to find some downside to the strong economy that Biden has created, though. MAGAs would appreciate it as they are quickly running out of excuses.

    Because I think increasing consumer satisfaction signals the economy is on the right track. But you don't know that THIS was my point, because you refuse to read the OP.

    On the other hand, a lot of EMPLOYED people is great for the economy. Unemployed people don't produce. Employed people do. They produce and they consume which creates demand, which creates the need for more production, which creates the need for more jobs.

    Yes! It created a great economy for the wealthy. But it creates it from the bottom up. Not trickle down, like you MAGAs promote.

    Underemployed people are those who could have a better and produce more. Which, BTW, makes less of a difference when wages are this high. Keep an eye on consumer satisfaction (which was a much more relevant point in the OP that you refuse to read). But there is some way to go. This is a process. It's not one day we are looking down the barrel of total financial chaos, and the next day everybody's working in Silicon Valley and driving a Tesla. Biden is STILL in the process of fixing the mess Trump left behind. But he is MOST definitely on the right track.

    But do feel free to keep trying to find faults in the incredible recovery from the brink of a recession that Biden is now managing to pull off. Much to the chagrin of MAGAs who are running out of excuses NOT to vote for the "senile" old guy.

    Everything is factored in the OP. You just didn't read it. And, guess what... the economy is doing VERY well. Just watch how Republicans in your wingnut media start running away from discussing the topic.

    Again, the people don't see it that way.

    The economy isn't sick right now,' economist says—here's why Americans still feel like it is

    It’s fascinating to see all the things they cheered 6 years ago all suddenly be a negative

    GDP growth, fuel prices, unemployment numbers (lowest since the 60’s), wage growth, interest rate decreases.

    Almost like we are not dealing with good faith actors.

    Already addressed in the OP. Maybe if you READ what you are responding to, you might not waste so much time.

    Donald "Jenious" Trump was such a great leader during pandemic that the economy nearly collapsed and 2.9 million jobs were lost.

    If only he was President!

    Again: what you are having so much difficulty trying to express is called "Consumer Satisfaction Index". And it's addressed in the OP. I truly encourage you to read the OP of the threads I open before posting. They always contain everything any poster may need so they don't have to struggle looking for words to express things that are already addressed.

    What are you talking about? Or course it does! It pretty much guarantees that they'll find a job available almost immediately.

    Tons of jobs, tons of oil production, tons of natural gas production, falling inflation, a soaring stock market...

    Gosh, what a terrible economy! Darn that Brandon! Darn him to heck!
