In State of the Union address, Biden will highlight his dishonest take on the economy

President Biden seemed extremely happy to take credit for the booming January jobs report, “We have created more jobs in two years than any presidential term within two years. That’s the strongest two years of job growth in history, by a long shot,” Biden boasted.

Unfortunately, Biden could not leave well enough alone. Asked by a reporter whether he took responsibility for manufacturing the highest inflation in 40 years, he snapped “Do I take any blame for inflation? No. Because it was already there when I got here, man.”

Inflation was very low when Bidet usurped the White House. He’s a pathological liar.

Problem is there are too many people who watch CNN, MSDNC, The View, etc. who simply lap up anything they are told.

They will think it’s time for Biden to go because that’s what the “news” says.

Then they will obediently vote for Gavin Newsom. The “ballots” will also be voting for Gavin.

It was a guest opinion piece by Liz Peek. Definitely not the regular staff writers, that's for sure.

Given that most major corporations are laying off 10’s of thousands of their workers, where are all these supposed new jobs happening?

Gig jobs is my guess. The ones that don’t pay well, no healthcare coverage, and wear and tear on your car for the miles you’re putting on it.

I wonder if these “job creation” numbers are representative of all the actual humans that had to be hired in order to replace all the bots that were exposed shilling for this despotic government and big pharma.

It was a mere month ago that the Fed’s juiced numbers of a million in March-June were revised down to negative 10K. Helpful for the narrative Dems were pitching prior of a hot economy right before the election- this will be the same.

I want someone to scream “Liar!, Pedophilic liar!” and disrupt the speech. And every Republican should stand up and rip several sheets of paper in half the turn around and moon the idiot before walking out.

Wasn’t it AOC who said there was so much job growth during Trump’s administration is because so many people had to get a second job?

“Gig jobs is my guess.”
Jobs that were shut down due to COVID that are coming back. Not new jobs in a very real sense.

When you're a PATHOLOGICAL LIAR who has been lying for 50+ years and cannot grasp even the rudiments of economics, like Pedo Joe, it is to be expected.

I think some are new-ish. There are more deliveries of every kind that I can see. People who never bought online started going bonkers. Now that businesses have started with fulfilling those needs, somebody had to be hired to deliver the goods.

As an example, my sister was only sort of a germaphobe before CoVid. Then she became hard core. Has her groceries delivered to her front porch instead of going shopping herself. Now she has a way to get her food without going to the grocery store. That person picking her order didn’t have that job before, and the person delivering the groceries to her didn’t have that job before.

So some of these jobs are new-ish, or maybe just revamped jobs. It could be that the worker was laid off from a different job that went out of business because it wasn’t *essential*. I think they’re just playing with the numbers to make things look good on paper for Burden. We know they aren’t really good numbers. The economy stinks.

The Deep State and its MSM enablers are concealing an important data point...

What percentage of the USA working age population is actually employed?

Biden hit 60.1% in December 2022.

Trump hit 60.1% in February 2020 - the month that Covid started.

Also - since Biden became President, we have admitted at least 5 million new working age immigrants.

Those numbers are clearly not included in the working age population.

I do not have time to crunch the numbers right now.

I will try to make a more meaningful post later.

Exactly. These are likely low paying service industry part time jobs.
