Anler Posted March 11, 2019 Share Posted March 11, 2019 Im surprised the tax cuts arent sending jobs thru the stratosphere. I know you guys will give this the same criticism you would give Obama Trump shrugs off dismal jobs report as a blip By KATIE GALIOTO 03/08/2019 11:04 AM EST Share on Facebook Share on Twitter President Donald Trump on Friday called the economy “very, very strong” and touted rising U.S. wages just hours after the Labor Department’s monthly report for February showed an unexpected and dramatic slowdown in hiring. U.S. employers added 20,000 jobs in February, the smallest monthly gain in nearly a year and a half and far short of the 180,000 economists had predicted. The weak report was released amid signs of slowing economic growth and was a stark contrast to the 311,000 jobs added in January, which Trump lauded as a victory at the time. Talking to reporters on the White House lawn Friday, Trump focused not on jobs but on wages, which he said are rising for the “first time in many years.” “I think the big news really was that wages went up. And that's great for the American worker,” he said. “That's something people — I don't know if they ever expected to see it.” The president also mentioned the stock market and unemployment rate, which dropped from 4 percent in January to 3.8 percent last month, as signs of a strong economy. Trump said Friday his administration is in the process of dealing with China, though he also forecast the United States will do very well economically “with or without a deal.” “I think as soon as these trade deals are done, if they get done — and we are working with China — we will see what happens,” he said. “But I think you are going to see a very big spike.” White House economic adviser Larry Kudlow on Friday morning called the most recent jobs report “very fluky,” attributing its unexpectedly low results to seasonal issues and timing issues related to the government shutdown. “I wouldn’t pay any attention to it to be honest with you,” he told reporters on CNBC.

Zambroski Posted March 11, 2019 Share Posted March 11, 2019 Wasn’t a lot of this due to the g’ment shutdown? I don’t know, I don’t follow every single upper/downer write up like my life depended on it. But....I am still actively waiting for the magical libertarians to present their candidate and plan to save the world for 2020. Is now not a good time? Seems like it would be to me.

And the people you side with are spending millions on bullshit investigations. Maybe both sides need to sit down and figure the spending out. Cut it 30% across the board, just like someone else here proposed. I can guarantee dems would be complaining about it just as much as the reps.
