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

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?

Obama is the one who dealt with unemployment.

Trump inherited a downward trend that started while Obama was president. Also, Obama was forced to spend to stimulate the dead economy he got from Bush.

Obama didn't deal with high UE, he gave it to the country...for years....in fact he claimed it was the new normal....

Obama's Unemployment 'New Normal' Foretells A 'Lost Decade'

Some called the “bad” unemployment report a “statistical anomaly.” It was nothing of the sort.

www.forbes.com

The American people wouldn't accept that and overthrew the dems stranglehold in Congress, allowing some relief from Obama's new normal

Since the economic recovery began 52 months ago, the “headline” U-3 unemployment rate has fallen from 9.5% to 6.7%. However, more than 100% of this decline was the result of 7.4 million potential workers fleeing the labor force. Adjusted to the labor force participation when George W. Bush left office, the unemployment rate has actually increased, from 9.7% to 10.9%, since the recovery began.

Here’s another way to look at it. During the past 8 years, America’s working-age population has gone up by 19.3 million, while the number of full-time-equivalent* (FTE) jobs has increased by only 0.4 million. Can you say, “lost decade?”

And trump had a 3.5% unemployment rate shrug

Trump did not have jack squat. Trump got what Obama handed to him. Biden beat that.

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

Wrong.

Obama gave blacks 16.8 percent UE. Obama was a puppet for the Demklan, creating poverty and closing opportunity

The lowest Obama ever got it was like 7.9 percent, and that only happened AFTER the GOP was able to gain Congress are reverse some of the damage done by the Demklan

 

[struth]

Wrong.

Wrong.

Why did rent jump up that fast then, and now it's coming down after the deportations?

Trump only hires people for federal positions

He’s the head of a federal branch of govt

Which is why his anti-DEI policy affects so few.

 

[Political-Junkie]

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

Obama said it was the new normal

You said 2011, not 2009. And that 10% was part of an unemployment rate rising since 2008 because of the recession Bush handed Obama.

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

It's strange that you blame Biden when your article blame extreme droughts. Why did you do that?

Droughts and inflation

Correct I think in 2011 it was 9.9…so you got me

Stimulus:





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

If I recall, Trump wanted more stimulus than Democrats were offering. The stimulus is on Trump. He signed it and it was his name on the checks. He owns the second round of stimulus too. Just as Biden owns the third round of stimulus checks.

Droughts and inflation

Your article blames droughts, not inflation. Inflation wasn't thinning the herds. Extreme droughts were.

So why did you blame Biden when your article blamed extreme droughts?

You think wrong.

And Biden had what Covid handed him. Just like biden continued with good unemployment, trump also kept with good unemployment.

And? It kept falling under trump, spiked when Biden took over because of Covid and then Biden rode the unemployment recovery train after Covid. Same difference.

If I recall, Trump wanted more stimulus than Democrats were offering. The stimulus is on Trump. He signed it and it was his name on the checks. He owns the second round of stimulus too. Just as Biden owns the third round of stimulus checks.

That’s fine, my point was, half of trumps spending was Covid, and yes, it was trump signing the checks, but democrats were standing right behind him with their hand on his shoulder.

 

[IM2]

And Biden had what Covid handed him. Just like biden continued with good unemployment, trump also kept with good unemployment.

Biden was handed high unemployment, a dead economy, and 25 million Americans infected with COVID. Biden set records, excluding what came back from COVID. It's time you people stop giving Trump passes for his first failed presidency. If he had been great, he would have won in 2020. So what white voters did was put a man back in office who had a failed presidency, and you used the excuse of the economy, when you really voted for racism.
