Liberal Logic

[Marener]

Oh, so he's a...what's the term leftists use to describe a black person who doesn't believe as he's supposed to...oh, yes!

He's an Uncle Tom.

Did I get that right, USMB leftists?

Nope. Ive never once used that term before.

Unemployment also rose last month to 4.3% – worse than the 4.1% predicted by analysts.

US economy added a paltry 114,000 jobs in July, unemployment spikes to 4.3%

Wall Street reacted with horror to the underwhelming numbers. Dow futures were down more than 300 points an hour before the opening bell.

wow. 4.3%. That’s, uh, really something.

Especially when the government touts a 0.1% decrease as the biggest event since sliced bread.

That's all you got?

You’re making shit up again.

 

[Delldude]

Just like the Biden administration did?

 

[Marener]

Just like the Biden administration did?

No. like Trump does. All hyperbole that “feels” right and isn’t provable or disproveable.

4.3% unemployment is low. Don’t you agree?

 

[Delldude]

No. like Trump does. All hyperbole that “feels” right and isn’t provable or disproveable.

Trouble with that is Trump hasn't been in office touting a miniscule drop in the unemployment numbers as a huge win in the last four years.

Liberal and logic don’t belong in the same sentence.

I’m pretty sure Trump bragged a lot about unemployment being low during his administration.

You don’t remember that?

You don’t remember that?

Yeah, it was 3.5% before the pandemic.

You don't remember that?

 

[Marener]

Yeah, it was 3.5% before the pandemic.

You don't remember that?

It was 4.7% when Trump took office.

So wasn’t Trump touting a minuscule drop in unemployment?

 

[Delldude]

Trump full 1.2% drop vs Biden's economic prowess swooning over a 0.1% change?

The Bureau of Labor Statistics puts the rate was 4.7% when he was sworn in. The most recent rate, for December, was 3.5%. It was also at that level in September and November. Before then it had not been so low since December 1969 — 50 years ago — when it was also 3.5%.

If you're trying make some point, you just shit the bed.

Do you know what unemployment was when Biden took office?

6.4%

So Biden lowered unemployment a full 2%. Let me do that math. That’s a larger drop than Trump.

Technically Trump increased unemployment during his term.

Gee whizz............why was that?

You sure you didn't work for the Biden administrations department of newspeak?

Doesn’t matter why. It matter that Biden lowered unemployment by over 2% which is “minuscule” to you however Trump lowering unemployment by 1% is an economic achievement.

 

[Delldude]

Doesn’t matter why.

Unless you lie through your teeth to try and make some lame point..................

 

[Delldude]

Doesn’t matter why.

No idea why and it isn't important?

 

[Marener]

Unless you lie through your teeth to try and make some lame point..................

you still can’t explain why Trump gets more credit for a smaller decrease in unemployment.

Not to mention that you’re behaving as though 4.1% unemployment isn’t really good. Half a percentage point difference between that and the best that Trump could achieve is just not hugely different especially considering Biden has to deal with the fallout of COVID, which Trump didn’t.

Bike Crash *Joe created over a million jobs the week after the country opened up after the COVID closure. It’s true! He’s an economic genius!

1.2% isn't a smaller decrease than Biden touting 0.1%

 

[Marener]

1.2% isn't a smaller decrease than Biden touting 0.1%

it’s pretty dishonest to compare three years against one month.

Like, total bullshit.
