GDP grew at a 6.9% pace to close out 2021, stronger than expected despite omicron spread

I take it you assume that you are a high-information voter? Better than all those miserable plebs?

Low information voters do not: 1) follow current events 2) understand how basic government works - such as the purpose of the House, Senate and President 3) contact their local election board to have insights into where to vote, how to vote, what's required to vote, what the ballot looks like, who is on the ballot and subsequent research into the candidates on the ballot and 4) vote every time.

Why do you support liberal economics

as evidenced by the current economic numbers, they are vastly superior to conservative economics.

 

[rahl]

You asked nothing that I didn't answer. When refuted you ran as usual. Looking for someone to let you deduct your high state and local taxes so others pay for your FIT responsibilities

 

[rahl]

I destroyed your narrative yesterday and you ran as usual. Do you know what bipartisan means.

 

[Conservative]

Keep running from the question I asked
Don't try and change it and try to make it look like I am the one running away when it is you
for one thing I did support the shutdowns to a point like we had in western NY they had steps if there were this number of cases people had to do this and that . if there were so many more they had to do some more things NOTHING in Western NY was ever completely forced to shutdown or shutdown.
I don't know about NY City that is a whole different place and I wish it was it's own state all by itself.
I was in FLA when this all started and things were shut down more down here then in Western NY

So what did you expect the economic numbers to be when businesses closed and had to lay off people?

and when did you ever ask me anything about this?
did I support Pelosi and the House in their action with Republicans
and it sounds like another stupid question
just what actions are you talking about
and isn't this way off the subject of this thread?
have a nice night

The subject of the thread has been ignored by you almost in its entirety, tell me what policies Biden put into place to generate 6.9% GDP Growth. Then tell me why with such great numbers his approval rating on the economy is 37%. What I see from you is nothing but pure hatred for Republicans with no explanation as to why. To you it is all about the D, not the policies. As stated I'll bet that I have voted for more Democrats than you Republicans as I don't hate true Democrats as I was one for years. Radical Democrats are another story.

I haven't delved deeply into the stats around gig workers, but what I do know is that group's data isn't tracked that cleanly, so it's quite possible they are a part of the reason the gap in the workforce stats. To my understanding gig workers are counted in BLS stats, but as part of the larger group of workers who are self employed or part time, so it's not parsed out in a way that's useful from an analysis perspective.

In terms of general stats that I've seen, there are about 59m gig workers of which 17.1m have this form of work as their primary work. What's interesting in the link I've provided is that this form of work pays less than being a full time employee on average, so clearly those choosing it aren't making this decision purely on financial criteria.

There is a lot to be said for the freedoms of not having a boss or a set schedule of work.

If a guy can make that work for him, I can see how that would be the preferred option.

The employment picture seems to be changing. I would guess that in 50 years, the picture will be so different as to be unrecognizable to the one of 10 years ago.

It will be very interesting. I'm a little disappointed that I will miss most of it.

I've posted here before that when I retired, it was pretty much me, my lap top and my smart phone. Also a boss, but he left me alone most of the time.

In 1970, it would have been me, my secretary, a secretarial pool, at least one receptionist, some sort of a corporate printing department, some sort of a travel agent or agency and an office phone system with 10 or 20 lines. Also a boss.

1970 to 2020 seems like a long time. 2020 to 2070? It feels like the time between "I wonder if..." and "Will you look at that!" is getting shorter with every passing day.

Refreshing, but makes you wonder why so many of the kook fringe flock to DP to talk about the "excellent" economy.

Troublingly for the White House, only 1% of Americans view the state of the nation's economy as "excellent,"

Shows the real problem with the left, liberal elites making policies that really don't help people they claim they want to help but do create dependence and most Americans prefer their freedoms. The fringe welfare whores will never bite the hand that feeds them and Rich liberal elite bureaucrats will always make sure there is a dependent class

And what policies would those be and why does he have a 37% approval rating on the economy?

It is truly amazing the loyalty cultists have to the liberal ideology and ignorance of the liberal results. You vote for a D because of the D not because any policies generated benefit you or the country but those policies and spending in the name of compassion makes you feel good. Too bad it never solves the social problems the left claims they will do.

Best economy since the 80's, think Biden will win 49 states Reagan did in 84 with this booming economy?

irrelevant. Why is his approval rating still higher than trumps at this same point in trumps presidency, and why is it higher than trumps currently? lol

I let you have a way out .
You were making a real fool of yourself
I was in Fla at the time and with the way it spread in NYC I hoped it would be stopped as fast as it started
March 1, 2020 one woman in NYC had it and almost 40,000 had it in 30 days it was that fast spread that made people think it would be a good ides to shut things down for a short time. they didn't think it was going to last as long as it did and have as many different types
and if your trying to get me to Blame Trump for the covid I won't and I never did.
I did say in the beginning he didn't help to get it under control he lied about almost everything , it is only 1 or 2 people , it is 15 people, it will be gone in no time , it will be gone when the hot weather gets here. and on and on.
and then the Governors of the NE states had no Idea of what to do there was so many lies and disinformation . so they did the shutdowns and what ever they could to try and stop it
Trump didn't cause it but he wasn't very much help in the beginning to stop it
and again you are lying I have discussed the subject a lot on here
and as like now we got on the shutdown thing and how it hurt the economy and then I questioned you on your lie about the House " Authorizing " the shutdown that I am still waiting for you to answer.
so again PLEASE STOP lying so much it makes you look like an ass
Have a nice day

No, you posted policies that never generated the promised results like the 1.2 trillion dollar massive gov't funding vote buying giveaway, not helping 37% Approval rating January 2022

trump didn't get 81 million votes and is out of office, comparing Biden's approval ratings to Trump is irrelevant. I told you what we would get with Biden and you ignored it thus you owe the American people an apology

What about the trillion dollar giveaway to the wealthy elite as a result of Trump’s tax cut that spiked the deficit and debt?

Great since you don't remember what you posted in the past I will accept this that you won't be blaming Trump in the future.

I did say in the beginning he didn't help to get it under control he lied about almost everything , it is only 1 or 2 people , it is 15 people, it will be gone in no time , it will be gone when the hot weather gets here. and on and on.

Yes you said that and he said that long before the pandemic was declared, does it really matter what he said in January/February vs what he did with Project Warp Speed

and again you are lying I have discussed the subject a lot on here

Calling me a liar is what the left does when they cannot refute the posts. You have made a lot of wild claims here all showing hatred to Republicans, ignorance on economic policies including the tax cuts, GDP dollar growth and job growth vs job creation.

Looking like an ass? ROFLMAO, the only ones looking like asses are the 37% that support Biden on the economic performance for 2021

No, I posted the policies which took UE to 3.9%, rGDP to 5.7% etc.

trump didn't get 81 million votes and is out of office, comparing Biden's approval ratings to Trump is irrelevant.

I'm showing you that your hilarious and sudden attachment to polls is moronic, since biden is ahead of trump at this same point in his presidency, and remains higher than trump to this day. It's why when you bring up polling, it makes you look foolish.

I told you what we would get with Biden and you ignored it thus you owe the American people an apology

What we got with biden is an economy that has completely curb stomped trumps best year. Trump had NEGATIVE job growth. His economic record is the worst in modern US history, going back to Hoover.

name one. We know beyond any actual doubt that it's not GDP, UE, Wage Growth etc. So by what metric are you alleging the economy isn't excellent? Be specific.

So again, policies matter not the D or R, waiting for the policies Trump implemented that really hurt you and your family? Why would anyone believe that their state and local taxes should be deductible from their federal return reducing the amount of revenue that precious Federal gov't that you worship. I gave you the line items that FIT funds and I gave you the revenue generated, you ignored both

The problems in this country cannot be solved by gov't, they have to be solved at the local level by the people
