...or they would have stayed in their jobs if the morons in Washington hadn't shut the country down.  Once the whole COVID paranoia ended, people would have gone back to work naturally. The overstimulus of the economy with too much free money is what led to the inflation crisis that is so hard to tackle now. 

 

In any case, the people aren't feeling it. Biden's approval on the economy is rather low.

Right. And what country had the most deaths? USA. Followed closely by Brazil, with another nutter as a leader.

One has to remember that the employment rate was low because Biden took over during covid. The only accurate comparison would be between now and prior to covid.

One has to remember that you acknowledge the impact of the pandemic when it suits you, and denies it when it doesn't suit you! 😊

Doesn't he want to tax unrealized gains???

WASHINGTON, D.C. -- President Joe Biden averaged 38.7% job approval during his recently completed 13^thquarter in office, which began on Jan. 20 and ended April 19. None of the other nine presidents elected to their first term since Dwight Eisenhower had a lower 13^th-quarter average than Biden.

As determined by a bunch of voters who get their news from dodgy outlets and none of which understand the complexities of being the elected leader of one of the largest economies in the world.

“If everything’s honest, I’ll gladly accept the results. I don’t change on that,” Trump said in the interview. “If it’s not, you have to fight for the right of the country.”

Trump also repeated false claims that he won the state of Wisconsin during the 2020 election. “If you go back and look at all of the things that had been found out, it showed that I won the election in Wisconsin,” Trump told the Journal Sentinel. “It also showed I won the election in other locations.”

Clearly you are not an economist. Nor understanding of what's really going on with illegal immigration.

I'm not smart enough to be a leftist. The really smart people (leftists) all know that bringing in ten million illegals that are often illiterate in their native language, much less English, benefit the economy.

 

Millions of low and no skilled workers do not put downward pressure on wages, and millions of new households do not put upward pressure on housing costs.

 

Millions of new people using the same public services such as health-care, education, food stamps, welfare and all other government assistance programs does not in any way increase the cost of those programs or reduce the availability. 

 

You have to be a really smart leftist to understand how two milling new jobs is really great when you've imported ten million new workers. 

 

Again, only really stupid people believe the impact is negative.

Reality disagrees with you:

 

“Today, the Bureau of Labor Statistics reported that the American economy added 353,000 jobs in January, bringing the total jobs created under President Biden to 14.8 million. The unemployment rate held at its steady, low rate of 3.7 percent. This continues a two-year trend of a jobless rate under four percent, the longest stretch in more than 50 years.

 

Your number of 2 million jobs created by Biden is fake.

According to the U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistics (BLS), the current employment level is about 3 million jobs higher than it was in January 2020, just before the COVID-19 pandemic began.

By contrast, the economy added 6.33 million jobs in Trump’s first three years in office, more than double Biden’s figure.

More importantly, there is a stark difference in the quality of the jobs added under both presidents.

Compared to pre-COVID-19 levels, a little over 2 million full-time jobs have been added under Biden, along with more than 1.18 million part-time jobs.

As I already noted, in Trump’s first three years, total employment rose by 6.33 million, but unlike with Biden, nearly all of those jobs were full-time positions. Part-time employment increased by just 17,000 jobs from January 2017 to January 2020, less than 1% of the total number of added jobs.
