B-Man Posted July 8, 2019 Share Posted July 8, 2019 USA TODAY COLUMN: In Democrats’ war on Donald Trump, ‘stupid’ economy still stubbornly good. As Richard Fernandez says on Facebook — “Trump is vulnerable to economic downturn or big foreign war. But he is not vulnerable to shaming, which his opponents have focused on so far, because the elites have clay feet and the public know it.” Related: Small business seeing the best economy in 50 years, report finds. . . 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Issues & Insights, by The Editorial Board Original Article Friday’s jobs report showed that the economy created 224,000 new jobs, yet the unemployment rate edged up to 3.7%. Both are welcome news. The unemployment rate went up because 158,000 rejoined the labor market. These are people who previously didn’t have a job and weren’t looking for one. The labor market is tight enough that people who’d given up on work are getting lured back into the job market. And they’re finding work. As of June, there were 5.6 million more people with jobs than when President Trump took office — despite claims by prominent economists that the economy was already at full employment when he was sworn in. a President who is perceived as pro-business puts hopes in the disaffected unemployed and investors wanting returns on their new business ventures or additions.

As you know, the one statement Trump made during his campaign i agreed with 100% , Quote Look at how much African American communities are suffering from Democratic control. To those I say the following: What do you have to lose by trying something new like Trump? What do you have to lose?" he asked. "You live in your poverty, your schools are no good, you have no jobs, 58 percent of your youth is unemployed. What the hell do you have to lose? 3 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

What's funny, at least to me, is that the people who show up in my FB feeds who are announcing they will no longer shop at Home Depot are people I know who essentially have little or no reason to go to HD in the first place. Do they really think they're going to hit HD in the pocket because they're going to stop picking up a bag of washers to provide that finishing touch to their latest scrap booking efforts they've been working on for grandpa?
