U.S. Job Growth Unexpectedly Soared in July

It used to be that we could vote based upon what policies each party supports. These days, it's much simpler. There is only one party in America that actually supports Democracy. That's the Democrats. The Republicans have morphed into an autocracy party, that only believes elections are fair and legitimate when they win -- and will take actions to keep Democrats, who win elections, from taking office.
What some used to avoid saying out loud is now basically a campaign slogan, and I can't imagine at any other point in time the GOP inviting an autocratic leader of another nation who has taken action to restrict the voices of the opposition as a guest speaker at CPAC. Now in fairness, I'm sure there are plenty of Republicans who think this is all horrifying, but they need to step up to the plate where it counts. Clearly most of the politicians representing the GOP have decided to either quit or just toe the cult of personality line, but they're going to have to do better if they want to change the direction of their party.

Supporting the GOP in its current form is to accept the idea that any of its representatives can attempt to circumvent the election process by casting doubts on the integrity of the election only when they lose. The italicized part is a very important point because it's what makes the obvious con obvious. One doesn't even have to think about the former president, because we already have copycats in some recent primaries. It's a tactic that works when the other side doesn't do that, but it's playing with fire because if we end up at a point where both political parties see it as an effective way to scuttle elections, then we're in serious trouble.
 
Ah, "cultists." Like people, who believe that the 2020 election was stolen, with no evidence except that their guy lost. Oh, is that you?
I know the 2020 elections were stolen but irrelevant as you put an incompetent into the WH elected by no excuse mail in ballots and 175000 or so votes from 6 Democrat precincts giving him 270 Electoral votes. We are all paying for that ignorance and hatred you had for Trump today. You told us what policies Trump implemented that hurt you, not allowing you to deduct you full state and local taxes from your federal return but you haven't told us why that should have ever been the law. It hides the true cost of liberalism which must be what benefits you
 
If you are trying to argue that the Dems can pass anything they want because they have 51 votes including the VP, you are being dishonest, by ignoring the existence of the filibuster rule requiring 60 votes for anything but reconciliation bills, which the Senate can use one time per year. Laughably, you call others "civics challenged."
Just like you are dishonest in blaming Trump for the state and local covid response building hatred for someone who generated the best economic and foreign policy results in modern history during his first three years in office. Keep ignoring the harm liberalism is doing to the American people who depend on gov't because of dependence creating liberal policies
 
Somebody has been watching The Expanse.
You ever going to tell us what percentage of the U.S. GDP is based upon Gov't spending and how that compares to the rest of the world? You keep making up that liberal bs ignoring the reality that gov't spending on top of our Private sector paychecks caused the 2021 inflation and Biden's incompetence gave us Ukraine
 
That is because this forum is infected with liberalism and cultists who buy rhetoric and ignore results
YEP look who is the one ignoring results.
again lets see over 2 MILLION LESS jobs after 4 years in office.
A president that took us from being a net importer of Energy to a net exporter of energy and BACK to a net importer of energy and then the Republicans tried to Blame it on Biden when it ALL happened in 2020 and Biden was NOT President TRUMP was.
wonder how many of those jobs that were lost in 2020 were from those oil companies that went BANKRUPT and OUT of Business in 2020.
Oil Production was about 13 MBPD in early 2020 and fell to 9,7 MBPD and was still at 9.7 MBPD in Feb 2021
and over 100 oil companies went BANKRUPT and OUT of Business in 2020
But you don't hear a word about all those "results " from the Republicans , and like they have been doing they will blame it all on Covid when most of it was caused by the Saudi Russian oil price war.
then there are the more then 8 million jobs returning under Biden in the last 19 months.
and the oil industry recovering from the disastrous year of 2020,
Biden took over , oil production was 9.7 MBPD in Feb 2021 and in Jun 2022 it is about 12.1 MBPD and still going up and they are doing it without the OVER 100 oil companies that went Bankrupt and OUT of Business when Trump was in office.
and the US is either back or will be soon to being a net EXPORTER of ENERGY again " ENERGY INDEPEND " like TRUMP called it.
YES I guess seeing YOU don't like FACTS and can't see these " results " are " results" and GOOD " results " BIDEN will NEVER have any good results according to you
then again ACCORDING to YOU there is NO GLOBAL INFLATION so we all can see just how good facts ACCORDING to you are.
Have a nice day

Have a nice day
Look who is a waste of time ignoring the pandemic and economic shutdown implemented at the state and local level. Would love to hear how people benefit from economic policies when not allowed to go to work. Also would love to hear your take on the 17 million jobs returning from April 2020 to January 2021 but doubt that will ever happen. Your loyalty to liberalism is cultlike as is your ignorance of basic civics. Why hasn't your party reinstated your high state and local tax deducations from your federal return
 
So happy that your ideology isn't God as they always try to blame someone else for poor personal choices and never accept responsibility for failure. Glad you don't live in Florida as you have no say in what goes on there

Oh, almost forgot, have a nice day
YEP back to the "poor personal choices : thing again
have a nice day
 
YEP back to the "poor personal choices : thing again

Thank you again, and you have a nice day, You could use it to take a civics course but doubt your cult like leadership would like that

LOL AGAIN tell us YOU wouldn't be putting ALL THE BLAME on Biden if it had all happened when he was in office.
and if you say you wouldn't your would be lying
Just like every other President if something bad happens when you are in office it was on your watch and you get the blame and if it is good and happened on your watch you get the credit
have a nice day
 
YEP back to the "poor personal choices : thing again
have a nice day
So tell me where did you learn that Neighbor helping Neighbor was a federal responsibility? Why is it that people like whine and complain about U.S. elections not being a true democracy where the President would be elected by popular vote and then whine and complain about state decision making which is based upon a true democracy where popular vote elects your governor and city mayors? Whining about state control over marriage, abortions, minimum wage, social issues shows just how civics challenged today's liberals are. Have a nice day
 
Thank you again, and you have a nice day, You could use it to take a civics course but doubt your cult like leadership would like that

looking at some of your responses it looks like YOU need it more then I or a LOT of the rest of us do
Have a nice day

What blame did I put on Biden when he wasn't in office? Why are you blaming Trump for your own governor's failure on Covid issues? Where have I shown hatred for Biden? It is Biden policies which most Americans seem to hate as the results justify the hatred of those policies. Now he is signing another approximately 800 billion dollar social spending bill, why? Do you have any clue what additional gov't spending on top of private sector paychecks and activity has on inflation?
 
LOL
looking at some of your responses it looks like YOU need it more then I or a LOT of the rest of us do
Have a nice day
Except for the reality that you have no clue as to the role of the state and local governments or the taxes you pay and their purpose. Have a nice day
 
You also have no credibility, in this country are there more employed today than February 2020 pre pandemic?
What is it with you? Only you, no one else gives a rat's ass if we're exactly at the pre-pandemic number or not. What you always avoid is that month after month the employment picture under Biden gets stronger. It is inevitable in the next few months that we will surpass the pre-pandemic employment levels but that's not the point at all - only to you so you can continue to cut and paste the same, tired old, meaningless hate-filled rants that do regardless of the thread topic. It's amazing to read how much you hate America, Americans and only care about tearing down Biden and Dems as if that is how Americans define their lives, their happiness and their success. It appears, as always, from your posts that you get off, love misery and pray for America and Americans to fail so you can continue to write hate America / hate Biden posts.

What a weird life it must be to hate the success of others and to wish failure onto Americans. Maybe not weird, surely pathetic.

A. Mail in voting is as legitimate as in-person voting. Some states only have mail in voting.
B. All the Trump conspiracy theories of voter fraud were investigated by his own U.S. Attorney and debunked as meritless.
C. Your argument is essentially: 'Trump tried to overthrow a legitimate election and stay in power -- but we have $5 gas now!' Sorry, that doesn't fly.

YEP Change the subject like always
can't admit the " results " Biden is getting are good YEP can't face fact regaining over 8 Million jobs in 19 months is better then losing over 2million jobs in a total of 4 years.
can't admit that UNDER Trump we went from being a NET EXPORTER of energy ( Energy Independent as Trump called it ) to a NET IMPORTER of energy again and we are now either a net exporter of energy once again or we are really close to it.
and it is all being done with over 100 LESS oil companies because they went BANKRUPT and OUT of Business UNDER TRUMP
Have a nice day

I am sorry, mail in voting cheapens the process and was established basically for military personnel overseas and now has expanded to seniors or others unable to get to the polls. You cannot explain why millions of Americans who could get to the polls didn't go to the polls and most of them voted for Biden. It is amazing what an entitlement mentality that has been promoted by the left. Voting is a right and an obligation, who says it should be easy? It wasn't easy in foreign countries but you want it easy here as your life is way too important to go to the polls

Sorry but there are fewer taxpayers today than there were when the pandemic began and that is on Biden's anti Private sector policies and rhetoric. You cannot admit that you are clueless when it comes to Presidential policies none of which have benefited you since Biden took office. oh, have a nice day

That won't matter either, because there will always be some deflection like "why did it take so long?" or "how do you know those numbers aren't being faked to make Biden look good?" and so on. I do think we're eventually going to see a rebound to pre-pandemic jobs numbers if the trend continues, and it's been fairly steady. Some industries are already past pre-pandemic job numbers, while others are close.
 
Yes and you have a problem with the facts? Does Biden have Covid and tested positive?

I posted the gasoline prices in January 2021 what were they? another question with NY being a liberal utopia why did you move to Florida under DeSantis?
Only a truly partisan, poorly informed, anti-American poster would try to compare gas prices from January 2021 to August 2022. Your "point" is totally out of context, again, and you 100% ignore the myriad of factors that caused gas prices to rise and now you're ignoring that the prices are going down. You love to put people down and challenge their level of education but perhaps it's time, in your retirement, to go back to school and learn about supply and demand, what controls oil prices, what factors contribute to the rise and fall of gas prices and how it's a world issue that no American President has any real control over.

Ok, Mr. CEO of any oil company, what would you do when the president threatens you with higher taxes and regulations then shutdowns progress on a pipeline for transportation? DO you have any clue why we export product overseas? Have a nice day

You will have to explain how making it easier for Americans to vote "cheapens" voting. Older Republicans in rural areas have been voting this way for many years. Yet, no Republican complained then.

We all know why you don't like mail-in voting -- it increases voter participation and more people vote -- and when more people vote, Democrats win.

Oh by the way


The United States was a total petroleum net exporter in 2020 and 2021​

In 2021, the United States exported about 8.63 million barrels per day (b/d) and imported about 8.47 million b/d of petroleum,1 making the United States an annual total petroleum net exporter for the second year in a row since at least 1949.

Have a nice day
