Private payrolls declined in September by 32,000 in key ADP report coming amid shutdown data blackout

Economy looks good where I'm at.
Paying $2.540 a gallon is how you gauge the strength of the economy?

🤣

No wonder you write the stuff below.
If the democrats were worried about Americans they would vote to kick start the government and worry about U.S. citizens.
Ahhh, it's just a useless rant about how much right wing media has tricked you into hating other citizens simply because they are not part of a cult. The rest of your post isn't worth quoting.

You know nothing about what makes a good economy.
 
See, we are both in agreement that Trump is soft on crime and illegal labor. He won't arrest capitalists that hire illegal labor.

I see that you continue to live in an alternate reality in which your side screams about Trump being too hard on illegal aliens and too soft on illegal aliens.. and also too soft on crime and too focused on crime.

Good luck with all that.

This is you admitting that I am right. Trump is soft on crime and illegal labor, as he won't arrest capitalists that hire illegal labor. We're in agreement, which makes it weird as to why you would support a soft on crime presidency. Are you okay?
Good luck with all that.
I mean, I already knew you conservatives were soft on crime. It just makes it more entertaining when I can get one to agree with me.
 
Since Trump's government won't be reporting the jobs numbers this Friday unless the shutdown ends, we must rely on private sector for data. ADP really hasn't been that far off, and they can still provide trends if nothing else.

As if any needed to guess, the economy is not doing so well. If idiots didn't want a troll president who is economically illiterate, we'd probably be OK right now, but alas, must own the libz.

Know why? Because illegals are no longer taking citizens jobs.
 
The GOP doesn't have a Filibuster-proof Senate majority and the Democrats used their filibuster power to shutdown the government.
Yeah. However, their reasoning wasn't just because they can. They're fighting for Healthcare. This is high on the list of priorities for all Americans. If repukes had their way, they would openly throw everyone off of Healthcare.
The number of people this affects is upwards of 22 million. The last election was decided by just a tenth of that number. Americans don't care when someone is fighting for them. This could end up really backfiring on the GOP.
 
Yes, that is the fake talking point on the right.
Fake? How so? You own a restaurant, car wash, machine shop, auto plant or Congress and want to staff it with uneducated dummies who work for peanuts. Millions of those people are deported. They now have one of two choices. Buckle up and do with fewer people, possibly with AI, or hire a citizen who will get benefits, health care and the market rate salary.

What is the result of the above?

Look, the Biden yeas are over of getting cheap labor from Haiti, Venezuela, Honduras, Mexico. We all have to get used to AMERICANS taking the jobs that Mexicans used to do. Soon enough, teachers will have to be laid off, welfare workers, hospital; employees, judges, probation officers etc. I know they'll stick around because of tenure, but this is a new world now.

Nope. It's me pointing out that your side's arguments are self defeating nonsense. At all times Trump is depicted by the left as powerless AND an all powerful tyrant. You fool nobody.

Hey, you've accepted that the Democrats own the shutdown. That's step one.

Now you just have to come to terms with the fact that what they demanded was impossible to get done with the House not in session. That's step two.

The final realization will be that what they claim they want is not what they are actually pushing for. That step might prove too much for you.

You guys always bite on their "we have to pass the bill to see what's in it" lies... always.

Yeup. This is you again admitting that Trump is soft on crime by his refusal to arrest capitalists that are using illegal labor.

Thanks for demostrating for everyone that the hypocrisy exists on the right on this issue. You don't want to punish criminals. I do.

Your delusional belief that I said anything of the sort is a lie that only works on you.
 
Hey, you've accepted that the Democrats own the shutdown. That's step one.
Which means republicans own the shutdown, since they too could agree to fund healthcare.
Now you just have to come to terms with the fact that what they demanded was impossible to get done with the House not in session. That's step two.
The house can reconvene at any moment at the direction of republicans. You are blaming Democrats for republicans being lazy. Yikers.

Lying is typically how republicans operate.
You guys always bite on their "we have to pass the bill to see what's in it" lies... always.
Case in point, as the full quote is:
"But we have to pass the bill so that you can find out what is in it, away from the fog of the controversy."

What Pelosi was actually saying is that republicans lied about the ACA and how the people will understand what is actually in the legislation once it becomes law.
 
Your delusional belief that I said anything of the sort is a lie that only works on you.
You keep agreeing with me that Trump is not arresting any capitalists that are using illegal labor. You are not citing a single example of this happening in practice.

You are agreeing with me.

So with all that said, who's really to blame? The Dems didn’t ask for a week off at the worst possible time. The dems didn't refuse meetings. They've made themselves available for weeks.
They've made it perfectly clear they are fighting for Healthcare for all Americans. And the Democrat base still thinks they're not fighting hard enough.

Deal with it. You can blame it on the dems, but educated folks know who controls every facet of government. Repukes won all the elections. Now it's time to govern or find a new job.

He is just an unserious person that somehow thinks that the House is incapable of controlling their own schedule and reconvening to end the shutdown.

Nobody at this point knows who owns the shutdown. Give it a few days or a week and we will know from polls who is seen at fault at least initially. If it extends more than a couple of weeks, that will be when the blame really matters.

That is not how blame works.
 
Please tell me that you are literate enough to tell the difference between illegal and legal.

Should the Des Moines (Iowa) school board members be arrested for hiring an illegal alien as superintendent?

I accept your surrender by your failed use of an anecdote to distract from the actual topic of discussion. Which is illegal labor and how the vast majority of it is done so by capitalists hiring illegal labor.

You also didn't answer my request. Did you figure out the difference between illegal and legal yet?
