Yep, we see those armed IRS agents in the neighborhood every day collecting taxes at gunpoint.

God it’s so easy being a conservative. You never have to feel your position being challenged by things like facts and data.
Being a leftist means you just change the numbers when they negatively affect your propaganda.
 
The continuing recovery continues. from the Trump economic failures. If Trump is re-elected, the least of the worries will be a wild inflationary curve.

Key Facts​

The U.S. added 254,000 jobs last month, according to nonfarm payrolls data released Friday morning by the Labor Department.
That smashed average economist estimates of 150,000, according to Dow Jones data.
The unemployment rate dipped to 4.1%, compared to projections of 4.2%, where it stood in August.

Key Background​

The last two weaker-than-expected job reports set off alarms about the health of the U.S. labor market and the potential for a recession, though most economists believe the U.S. is far from a full-fledged downturn despite the added angst as output roars. Concerns about the labor market were made worse by the government’s August announcement it likely overestimated job growth from March 2022 to March 2023 by more than 800,000 positions. Hiring should receive a boost from monetary policy, as the Federal Reserve lowered interest rates for the first time in 4.5 years last month, as lower borrowing costs often cause companies to loosen their belts as bottom line pressures ease. Investors anticipate the Fed to make a series of rate cuts in coming months, with futures trading pricing in a federal funds rate of about 3% as the most likely scenario by the end of 2025, nearly half of the 5.25% to 5.5% range it stood from July 2023 to last month.
Sure it did! ;) :auiqs.jpg:
