The jobless claims two weeks ago was 3.3 million. Five times the previous record set in 1982.

Last week, that number doubled to 6.6 million.

It took years for that many jobs to be lost during the Great Recession.




The torrent of Americans filing for unemployment insurance skyrocketed last week as more than 6.6 million new claims were filed, the Labor Department reported Thursday. That brings to 10 million the total Americans who filed over the past two weeks.

Economists surveyed by Dow Jones had expected 3.1 million for last week, one week after 3.3 million filings in the first wave of what has been a record-shattering swelling of the jobless ranks. The previous week’s total was revised higher by 24,000.

It will be a miracle if we make it TO April 30th without civil unrest due to shortages, etc. We can't go longer than that. I don't care what they come up with, testing, drugs whatever, we can't do this.

Leftists who screech about "SAFETY SAFETY" don't realize that the safety comes at a dear price. But then, if they could think better, they wouldn't be Leftists.

We all know what he was implying.
But he knew it would sound ridiculous to type it out.
 
Yeah.....a Pandemic will do that.
If only it was true when Trump said he was doing a great job and would have it down to zero in a few days.

Karma has made him the Food Stamp President.

"But Obama..." :laughing0301:
 
Obama's economy.

I blame Trump for this pandemic. I wouldn't be surprised if he colluded with Dick Cheney to have Halliburton cook up this virus in the White House basement and infect Wuhan with chemtrails.

That mean old Trump done did that so he could completely wipe out the Great Obama's economy. He obliterated every other piece of the Great Obama's legacy, but the Great Obama's wonderful economy just wouldn't go away.

So that mean old Trump destroyed the the Great Obama's economy with the Shanghai Shivers so when his economy gets great again, that mean old Trump can say it's his economy now.


Yeah, I'm just making this shit up. :auiqs.jpg:

Whoever is sitting in the Big Chair, gets the credit or the blame for a lot of things. Sometimes that's rational, sometimes not, but it's a simple fact. In a case like this it is almost certain that people will focus on him.

I said early on that Trump will live or die with this thing. Not looking good for him right now from this perspective, IMO
 
It looks like Trump might have helped Saudi Arabia and Russia to resolve their oil production war. So instead of this enormous unemployment # tanking the market, the market is actually going up. Trump is easily the best President since Eisenhower. We're lucky to have him.

Trump and Fox News have tried several times to blame Obama for Trump's failure to protect the American people.
