Black Unemployment Was at 4.7% Under Biden...Its Now at 7.1%

[ThisIsMe]

After about 18 months, we were back to pre-covid levels.

Sure, after the government told everyone to stay home, it was only natural that unemployment levels would go back down

 

[ThisIsMe]

What? Trump borrowed money almost twice as fast as Obama.

That wasn’t the question. The question was, did Obama or did he not deal with unemployment in the same fashion as trump did?

Also, half of trumps first term spending was Covid stimulus that democrats were urging him to do.

My cleaning lady does. - she actually works for 5 different companies and she is a migrant.

Mo-Fr before lunch for three different cleaning companies - afternoon for herself and DHL postal service. And Sat-Sun she works full time at Burger King behind the grill. She's 47 and has three kids and her father and mother staying with her. Her ex. husband rots somewhere in a prison in Romania.

So, before lunch she works and hour and a half for each company? They hired her to work less than 10 hours per week? I call bullshit.

The point being, she still only works 40-40 hours a week, just like someone with one job.

No - she works for 3 different cleaning companies Mo-Fr 8:00 - 12:00 so that's 4h x5 days = 20h per week
She works as a cleaning women for herself and DHL postal service Mo-Fr 13:00 - 17:00/18:00 that's 4h x 5 days = 20h-25h per week
She works at Burger King Sat/Sun depending on her shift 8h per day, so that's 8h x 2 = 16h - factually they need to work 9h

So in total she works between 56-60h a week. Due to the so called mini-job tax system that in Germany allows companies to hire people below 605 Euro per month, as such avoiding Social-welfare, Medicare and other taxes.

As such she makes around US$ 3400-3800 a month/before tax. And receives around net US$ 1000 child-money from the government. Which for a none skilled worker in Germany is a lot of money.

Most Germans and migrants prefer to stay at home and collect around US$ 2200 a month welfare - having e.g. 3 kids.

That would be Bidenflation, we got that for no reason. But under Trump we are getting rid of a nuclear threat.

there was no nuclear threat prior to may 8th 2018, because there were international inspection teams going in on a regular basis before then.

Also saw a meme today saying Bill Clinton never cheated on Hillary, you loons are desperate. Also, I wish we were paying $5.50 a pound for beef under Obama. Also Obama gave Iran the nuclear capabilities they have now. You're such a dumbass.

Oh, this is in Germany?...lol

People were dying. Biden set records outside of what came back after the pandemic.

Addressing DEI Discrimination by Federal Contractors

By the authority vested in me as President by the Constitution and the laws of the United States of America, including the Federal Property and

www.whitehouse.gov

Key Aspects of the 2025-2026 Federal DEI Pivot

• Targeting Contractor DEI: The March 26, 2026, Executive Order requires federal contractors to certify they do not engage in discriminatory DEI activities, with strict compliance monitoring.
• Elimination of Agency Programs: Executive orders have directed federal departments to dissolve diversity councils, remove DEI training materials, and put staff associated with these initiatives on administrative leave.
  • Redefining Gender/Sex Policies: New policies define "sex" as a biological binary, moving to remove gender identity considerations from federal workplaces and funding.
  • Focus on Merit-Based Policies: Official rhetoric emphasizes replacing DEI frameworks with merit-based opportunities, claiming that previous DEI practices were wasteful and illegal.
  • Legal Scrutiny: The EEOC and federal courts are increasingly utilized to evaluate whether DEI policies violate Title VII of the Civil Rights Act. [1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7]

I pointed out this only affects federal positions, while the vast majority (98%) of jobs are not federal, and only in his second term. So thank you for confirming what I said.

 

[Political-Junkie]

Nah he inherited a recession and policies he voted for that were getting us out

Then he took office and didn’t want to let the crisis go to waste so he passed massive bailouts to his fiends, driving up UE to double digit two years later and telling Americans it was the new normal

In what country was the unemployment rate double digits in 2011? Because it was single digits here.

 

[Political-Junkie]

That wasn’t the question. The question was, did Obama or did he not deal with unemployment in the same fashion as trump did?

Also, half of trumps first term spending was Covid stimulus that democrats were urging him to do.

I answered. They both borrowed a shit ton of money. And how was half of Trump's term covid stimulus when covid was only in his last year?

Ground beef peeked at $4.23 under Obama.

And in 2017, Trump's administration said Iran was compliant with the JCPOA.

Trump only hires people for federal positions

He’s the head of a federal branch of govt

Oct 2009 10 percent and stayed around that or just below til the midterms

Obama said it was the new normal

 

[ThisIsMe]

People were dying. Biden set records outside of what came back after the pandemic.

And trump had a 3.5% unemployment rate shrug

That’s great price for beef…that was also before xiden destroyed the cattle herd in America, leaving us with one of the smallest herd ever recorded

Low herd inventory ripples through U.S. beef market - AgriLife Today

Cow/calf producers are realizing strong calf sale prices as a result of strong consumer demand for beef and low cattle supplies.

Just the opposite, Biden let over 10 million illegals cross our border. There wasn't enough housing for them.ade everything more expensive.

Sure, they came right across the border and purchased houses---something most American’s can’t afford. And that caused the price of a can of beans to explode!

Nobody believes you. Not even yourself.

Serious question.

Have you ever been honest a day in your life?

To the surprise of absolutely nobody, black unemployment has skyrocketed under Trump. Currently its at 7.1%. Biden got it down to 4% after inheriting a rate of 9.1%....

I hope black voters remember this in November.

I wonder how much of that is due to government downsizing?

Stimulus:

COVID-19 pandemic relief spending signed by President Trump during his first term (2017–2021) totaled approximately $3 trillion to $4 trillion. [1, 2, 3]

During Donald Trump's first term (fiscal years 2017–2021), the total federal debt increased by approximately $7.8 trillion to $8.18 trillion. [1, 2]

Half of his spending was covid stimulus, urged on by democrats

In late December 2020, Congressional Democrats strongly urged then-President Donald Trump to push for higher COVID-19 stimulus checks, specifically aiming to increase them from $600 to $2,000 per person. This unusual alignment occurred after Trump declared the bipartisan $900 billion relief package "a disgrace," demanding larger direct payments for Americans. [1, 2, 3]

Why do you think rent became unaffordable because of Biden's illegals. Now with the deportations it's starting to come down.
