The unemployment rate is now where it was when Man first walked on the moon

I feel a bit lightheaded. Maybe you should drive.
It may have been the worst Democratic performance in 28 years ... it was better (in EV terms) than the last 2 Republicans ... better (in PV terms) than any Republican ever. She got 3 million more votes than Trump, who won only because of the archaic electoral college system designed to suppress the will of the prople.
Well there is this:

Just because the left can run up the score in the (socialist) cities doesn't mean they can win elections. Thank God we don't have majority rule - the democrats would have us mired in the economic rat hole known as "dictatorship of the proletariat." The whole country would look like Detroit!

Detroit was better off when it was self-ruled, before its administration was taken over by a Republican state government. Thanks for your admission that the majority support socialism.

Considering the pussy Bush whelps who ran, along with RINOS McCain and Romney, that really isn't saying much.

Who gives a rat [Unwelcome language removed]? The right man WON.

Bill KKK won by the Electoral College, as did the Obama. You didn't think it was archaic when those incompetent [Unwelcome language removed] won it, so shut the fuckk up.

Clinton and Obama also both won the popular vote (plurality for Clinton, outright majority for Obama) twice each.

FYI: parcels of land don't vote in the U.S. A majority of voters voted for Clinton, including large majorities in the blue places on the map (Los Angeles, San Diego, San Francisco, San Jose, Sacramento, Houston, Dallas, Miami, Charleston, New York, Philadelphia, Pittsburgh, Washington, Seattle, Boston, etc., etc.) and large minorities in many of the red areas.

HILLARY LOST.

I have never questioned that he won. What he inarguably did NOT do was win in a landslide, as you keep claiming. He won a very narrow, technical victory.

Supply and demand is governed in part by perceptions of what supply will be. And Middle East war mongering drives down perceptions of expected supply.

You’re welcome.
true but punitive regulatory and taxes have an effect as well. And we both know that NObama was all about punitive regulations and taxes. Much of Trump's success the far and so quick is the undoing of all the punitive things NObama Imposed.

Think about that lefty...
Of course if we counted unemployment the same we did when man walked on the moon the unemployment rate would be over 20%.

The 'Real' America: 21.5% Unemployment, 10% Inflation, And Negative Economic Growth

As I have explained repeatedly, the government has simply been moving people from the “officially unemployed” category to the “not in the labor force” category for many, many years.

If we use the government’s own numbers, there are nearly 102 million working age Americans that do not have a job right now. That is higher than it was at any point during the last recession.

We are being conned.

Oh, I agree there was a record streak of economic growth during Obama's era, IN [Unwelcome language removed] CHINA.
NOTHING carried forward in the Trump miracle. Trump reversed the OBAMA MISERY INDEX and made America Great Again.
The difference between the unemployment rate in January 2017 and now is less than 1%.
There is no difference between the LFPR then and now.

Oh Boy...Great F*cking job Donald!

What was the LFPR in 1970? What is it today? 62.7%

You are such a [Unwelcome language removed] LIAR.

HOW DID REAGAN'S POLICIES AFFECT ECONOMIC GROWTH?
Despite the steep recession in 1982--brought on by tight money policies that were instituted to squeeze out the historic inflation level of the late 1970s--by 1983, the Reagan policies of reducing taxes, spending, regulation, and inflation were in place. The result was unprecedented economic growth:

  • This economic boom lasted 92 months without a recession, from November 1982 to July 1990, the longest period of sustained growth during peacetime and the second-longest period of sustained growth in U.S. history. The growth in the economy lasted more than twice as long as the average period of expansions since World War II.10

  • The American economy grew by about one-third in real inflation-adjusted terms. This was the equivalent of adding the entire economy of East and West Germany or two-thirds of Japan's economy to the U.S. economy.11

  • From 1950 to 1973, real economic growth in the U.S. economy averaged 3.6 percent per year. From 1973 to 1982, it averaged only 1.6 percent. The Reagan economic boom restored the more usual growth rate as the economy averaged 3.5 percent in real growth from the beginning of 1983 to the end of 1990.12

    https://www.cato.org/publications/policy-analysis/supplyside-tax-cuts-truth-about-reagan-economic-record
n 8 of the 10 key economic variables examined, the American economy performed better during the Reagan years than during the pre- and post-Reagan years.
  • Real economic growth averaged 3.2 percent during the Reagan years versus 2.8 percent during the Ford-Carter years and 2.1 percent during the Bush-Clinton years.

  • Real median family income grew by $4,000 during the Reagan period after experiencing no growth in the pre-Reagan years; it experienced a loss of almost $1,500 in the post-Reagan years.

  • Interest rates, inflation, and unemployment fell faster under Reagan than they did immediately before or after his presidency.

  • The only economic variable that was worse in the Reagan period than in both the pre- and post-Reagan years was the savings rate, which fell rapidly in the 1980s. The productivity rate was higher in the pre-Reagan years but much lower in the post-Reagan years.
You should be ashamed of yourself, telling all those [Unwelcome language removed] LIES.
Who was president in 1982? The unemployment rate when Reagan took office was 7.5% and the national debt was $900 billion.

The unemployment rate by November 1982 was 10.8%. The national debt by 1993 was $4 trillion....
