Biden says ‘extreme MAGA Republicans’ are threat to economy in wake of strong jobs report

President Biden on Friday said Republicans in Congress are threatening to hurt the U.S. economy, while hailing the March jobs report that showed the U.S. economy added 236,000 jobs.

“Extreme MAGA Republicans in Congress, on the other hand, are threatening to wreak havoc on our economy with debt limit brinkmanship,” Biden said in a statement.

He argued that Republicans’ “extreme agenda would send the unprecedented investments we’ve made here in America – along with the jobs that come with it – overseas. And it’s all to pay for even more giveaways to the wealthiest Americans and largest corporations.”

The unemployment rate declined to 3.5 percent and the report released on Friday showed the labor market stayed tight despite interest rate hikes by the Federal Reserve. Analysts were expecting the economy to add 238,000 jobs and for the unemployment rate to hold steady at 3.6 percent.

We are still just recovering jobs lost during the Covid lockdowns, and that’s it.

Isn’t it odd when a jobs report comes out during a Democrat administration showing jobs growth, you never hear the media complain about the new jobs being low-paying jobs?

The rats have redefined how employment is calculated just like they removed food and fuel from the inflation figures. The treasonous bastards in MSM let them. So the rats knew exactly what the numbers would be and had the talking points loaded and ready.

1/2 of the new jobs were waiters/waitresses/bartenders...i.e. either people losing their jobs or having to take on job two to keep up with inflation.

Their opening gambit is slander, and nothing they say can be taken at face value.

Jobs report is a HUGE lie if you all remember Obama used to lie about the job numbers ALL THE TIME then they would be adjusted at a later time!! There are a hell of a lot of people that HAVE TO take on second jobs right now also inflation is SO AWFUL!! I went to Walmart yesterday to get a pot roast 2 weeks ago it was $25.00 yesterday the same damn roast was $35.00! I will NEVER spend that kind of money for a damn pot roast!!

The drooling idiot current posting as POTUS needs to find another shtick. Blaming those evil “Extreme MAGA Republicans” for everything just ain’t working like it used to.

Biden says “Extreme MAGA Republicans...”

Correct me if I’m wrong. Mail-in ballots Biden is using inflammatory rhetoric against his own fellow citizens.

Citizens who pay his salary.

I thought the POTUS represented all U.S. citizens?

Folks are being laid off as quickly as jobs are being filled. This jobs report is trash. The gaslighting that the media does for this senile old racist pedo is amazing.

Why isn’t there a report of jobs cuts or jobs lost, on a monthly basies

For example, when Microsoft and Apple and Facebook and Google and Walmart announce jobs cuts, shouldn’t there be a running tally of those numbers. What we get is a net gain of jobs, but the quality of the gains is not known.

Government should report number of jobs total in the current month vs number of jobs in the same month last year (and two years priot, and three years prior).

If the economy adds 300,000 jobs in a month, but lost 500,000 in the same month last year, what we get is only the current month’s ‘increase’.

So, how many people were employed in the whole of 2019-2020 vs 2021/2022. That would be a more meaningful comparison and statistic than single month figures.

You didn't spend that kind of money for the pot roast.

You spent 35 new dollars for the roast. 35 new dollars are only worth 25 old dollars.

“The economy is stronger than it’s ever been, and it’s all the fault of MAGA”

I’d call that cognitive dissonance but Biden has no cognition.
