Job numbers revised down bigly. Tax cuts didn’t really boost hiring

The newly revised figures indicate the economy didn’t get a huge boost last year from President Trump’s tax cuts and higher federal spending. They also signal the economy is a bit weaker than previously believed and could give the Federal Reserve even greater reason to cut interest rates in September.

    Keynesian stimulus should be saved for use in a bad economy. Pretty pointless, except that Race and blob saved an extra $100 they spent on weed.

    As always O’Keefed there is nothing stopping you from writing a bigger check to the government right this very minute.

    If higher taxes are such a great idea start paying them now.

    Bad news for everyone unfortunately. The trump tax increase in the tariffs being paid for by middle class Americans probably partly to blame

    Yes eroding the middle class is a text book power play. Looks like Trump is just the same as all the blowhards that came before him.

    I was hoping to have the government take more of my money. I’m sure they can spend it more wisely than I can. I just end up helping booze companies. Not fair.
    It was wigged!

    Eroding the middle class? You want to quantify that? I mean BO definitely hurt the middle class, that is backed up by facts.

    The sky is always falling for the neverTrumpers like Scott and his ilk. It’s a bitch for them when the object of their deep hatred succeeds so much and that rage to find something negative keeps welling up from their gut.

    Jobs gains is but one component.

    The country is essentially operating at full employment right now. So, yeah, figures lie, liars figure.

    So he only created, what, 6 millions jobs since he was elected instead of 6.5 million (total non-farm payroll, https://www.bls.gov/web/empsit/compaes.txt) at a point where the economy is already at full employment?

    Sounds horrible...

    You have to love the shrillness of the orange-man-bad crowd around here, not to mention the selectivity of the data the media like to push.

    You’re right Race. The original jobs numbers were a lie. That’s the point of this thread. Also agree with you that it’s horrible.

    Why does a pathological liar like you Hondo pretend to care when other people lie?

    Obama never once used the $2,500 savings comment on the insurance mandate bill. That was a campaign promise of single payer that he never followed through on.

    First, that quote of mine is factual. Second, you only care when you think liberals lie. You beat off when conservatives lie. HTH

    Fucking liar. Obama never campaigned on single payer and I already provided you a video from 2009 after Obama was elected President where he said Obamacare would save people on average $2,500 on their insurance premiums.

    Hondo's defense of the fact that he is a pathological liars is that Conservatives lie too.
