Is Biden really that bad?

We all know how badly the country suffered under Trump's bungled response to the Covid epidemic. Well, here we are, 1 1/2 years into office and:

Continued Job Growth in July Points To Persistent Strength in Economic Recovery

The recovery of all private sector jobs points to a lingering strength in the economy, but overaggressive Fed action to tackle inflation risks causing a harmful downturn.

Over the past two years, the U.S. economy under President Joe Biden has experienced a rapid recovery from the devastation wrought by the COVID-19 pandemic. In fact, the latest jobs report shows that the United States has recovered all net private sector jobs lost due to the pandemic—far earlier than initial projections estimated. And while inflation has imposed significant costs on families, there are signals that the worst price increases are behind us as the cost of many key raw materials trends downward.


What did Republicans say when Biden took office? "I hope he fails". Damn traitors. All of them.
Big deal people went back to their old jobs 2 years later. My kid still cant go to college without being on the shot program, even now. And you call that progress? As I have said earlier, all Joe did was restore the labor force to pre pandemic levels. So dont act as if he created any jobs.

Part 2 of the stunningly good jobs report in July:

Continued Job Growth in July Points To Persistent Strength in Economic Recovery

"The Biden jobs boom
Under President Biden, the United States has added 9 million jobs—the highest number of jobs added in any president’s first 17 months. Not only is the unemployment rate at a historic low of 3.6 percent, but more Americans are now employed in the private sector than at any time during the previous administration. As a result, the number of Americans making initial claims for unemployment benefits is the lowest it has been in more than half a century, and long-term unemployment saw its fastest decline on record in the 12 months following enactment of the American Rescue Plan Act (ARPA).

This unprecedented recovery in employment would not have been possible without President Biden’s rescue plan. Signed into law in March 2021, ARPA provided funding for key public health measures, such as a historic vaccination and medical supply distribution efforts that were key to getting Americans back to work safely. Before ARPA, in February 2021, the Congressional Budget Office (CBO) projected that the unemployment rate would be 5.1 percent in fiscal year 2022. But one year later, in May 2022, the CBO projected that the unemployment rate would be 3.8 percent in FY 2022, with the actual rate in June 2022 even lower, at 3.6 percent. This recovery in employment was not inevitable: A Moody’s Analytics report found that without ARPA, “Because of the weakened economy, unemployment rises back over 7% in summer 2021 and remains materially higher after that.”"

If one listens to Republicans, you'd think we were still in the wreckage of Trump's economy. If Republicans were still calling the shots, 2% more unemployment than we have today. And this was not an accident. The American Rescue Plan Act is saving this country from becoming the shithole nation that Republicans want it to be.

Biden hails strong June jobs report, takes jab at Trump

"President Biden on Friday hailed the June jobs report, which showed the U.S. economy added 372,000 jobs, noting that there are more jobs in the U.S. than at any time under former President Trump.

“In the second quarter of this year, we created more jobs than in any quarter under any of my predecessors in the nearly 40 years before the pandemic. We have more Americans working in the private sector today than any day during Donald Trump’s Presidency — more people than any time in our history,” Biden said in a statement."


lol just look at that statement and compare it to what the idiot, @NYCBambu and other brainwashed Republicans say. More people have jobs today then ever in Trump's days. Not just "the trends are looking up", but more jobs than Trump ever could report. Assuming the alliterate fool could remember what his handlers told him.

I keep telling you, look at the total amount employed before the pandemic. It is the same as it is now, maybe a tiny bit more. Would anybody care for a free crack smoking lesson?

Even CNN cannot spin the job growth nonsense.


As of April, the economy was still 1.6 million jobs -- or 1% -- short of where it was in February 2020 before the pandemic hit. CNN also admits that prior to the pandemic, the jobless rate was at 3.5%, matching the near 50-year low first set in 2019 by Trump.

which shows just what a good steward the Obama administration is proving to have been.

This headline didn't age well. Also, look at the date it was published. Maybe they were just joking.

They were suffering from recency bias*. If they had not, they would have seen the trends. But no. They just looked at the immediate situation and talked as if things could not get better. A few months after that editorial was published, Biden reported not only that more people were working than ever under Trump, there is every expctation that the next few months will show even better jobs recovery.



*Recency bias is the tendency to place too much emphasis on experiences that are freshest in your memory—even if they are not the most relevant or reliable.

Slowest recovery since Obama took 2 years to do it. Show me the fake report and I will expose it for what it really is.
