1.1% is a surge? Ask anyone (with a job) if a 1.1% raise means their paycheck surged.
The GOP should run ads with film of Pelosi and Reid saying a 300,000 new jobs report during the Bush era was terrible. Now this 1% increase and 100k new jobs is trumpeted as a bull economy by the dems.
Too bad the GOP can’t be bothered to engage the Dems on a consistent basis.
I was at a local ‘Home and Garden Show’ this last weekend as a local vendor. It was interesting in many ways, we got to meet some nice people and make some contacts. Mainly though I saw that the big draw was that the Cattleman’s association was paying for the Food and Drinks.
It was the free food that brought in the people, once it was eaten and gone; so were they...
It makes a person wonder.
My take on that is prices and inflation are surging so it’s a zero sum game.
