Economy emerges as bright spot for Trump

While the Democrats and their media allies attempt to bring down the Trump presidency with a determination reminiscent of Wile E. Coyote’s pursuit of the Road Runner, the president’s efforts to shrink the size and scope of government are producing some very positive economic results.

...

It takes real determination to ignore the numbers. According to the Bureau of Labor Statistics, the number of people working increased by 395,000 from February to May of this year. By contrast, the increase for the same period last year under President Obama was 15,000. Now at 6.9 million, the number of people unemployed is at its lowest level since May 2007, seven months before the recession began.

...

A better indicator of labor market strength is the U-6 unemployment rate, a broader measure that many economists consider the real unemployment rate. It counts people as unemployed for a year (rather than just 30 days) after they give up their job search and counts people as unemployed who are working part time because they are unable to find full time jobs. At 8.4 percent, this measure has dropped a full percentage point since January and is now at its lowest level since November 2007, the month before the recession began.

The percentage of Americans working is also higher. The four months following President Trump’s inauguration are the only months since February 2009 in which 60 percent or more of Americans were employed. For prime working age Americans, or those 24 to 55 years old, the percent employed has increased to levels last seen in late 2008.

And, the jobs are better. Since February, the number of people working full time has increased by 589,000 while the number working part time decreased by 188,000. For the comparable period last year, full time workers increased 22,000 and part time workers increased 75,000.

 

The more golf the better. He can take Congress with him, for all I care.

I do like the cuts in government and regulations, though.

 

Who brought up economics? And wanted "further enlightenment?"

 

For all the great Peoples' Republik shit that goes on, the roads have massive potholes in them everywhere, except where they're run and paved by private entities (like homeowners' associations).

 

There's your Libertarian answer.

 

Maybe when it's time to retire.

Seriously.

 

Libertarians believe in (just enough) government and laws and that crime should be punished.
