Nevertheless Democrats seem to think this is bad news^[1]. Nancy Pelosi issued a statement via Twitter that the June jobs report declaring that this is evidence that Americans are getting a "raw deal" and DNC Chair and former Labor Secretary under Obama, Tom Perez^[2]

She also said that they "creates jobs faster than almost any other initiative you can name" which begs the question if food stamps and unemployment are better than jobs, as she said, why would you want to create jobs at all? Could it be that she knows what she was spewing is a load of bovine scat?

Still one of my favorite Pelosisms is when she said that people losing their jobs ought to be regarded not as rising unemployment but rather an increase in "funemployment." That's because you should consider yourself lucky to be out of work because













1. And maybe it is -- for them. A headline from CNBC explains when similar numbers were reported the previous month:

2. and who recently proclaimed that socialist Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez is a "spectacular" candidate who represents the "future of our party"

Yep more and better paying jobs are bad. Who knew!

She doesn't acknowledge basic human interest. People are seeking jobs because they want to work. Maybe they have some bigger ambitions than making watercolor paintings in the park.

The sad thing is that they actually BELIEVE this twaddle!

Pelosi and Perez were referring to a jump in unemployment and slowing wage growth, not an increase in the number of jobs.

There was a slight uptick in unemployment which is strange since we have a record number of people employed:

On Friday, the Labor Department's Bureau of Labor Statistics said the economy added 213,000 jobs in June, a strong number; the number of employed Americans, 155,576,000, set its tenth record of the Trump presidency; but the number of unemployed Americans (which includes people who are actively looking for jobs) increased by almost half-a-million. The unemployment rate increased two tenths of a point to 4.0 percent.

As predicted by economists as well as myself numerous times, an improving job market will draw in those who had stopped looking for work (and thereby no longer considered unemployed).

I would think it would be an expected uptick - if hiring increases, job seekers who had dropped out of the market start coming back in. The guy that was too disappointed to bother trying last week isn't counted as 'unemployed' but this week when he's digging through the want adds, he's 'unemployed' - never mind that his actual employment didn't change.

So, yeah, what he said...

Rogue isn't good about being truthful with regard to what Dems are saying. Remember when he was claiming they were praising MS-13?

You mean like Pelosi who gushed on about their "spark of divinity" and how we need to "respect the dignity and worth" of these wanton killers? Or Schumer comparing MS-13 to our ancestors who came to America declaring that our "great-great-grandparents" weren't animals when they immigrated here and members of MS-13 "aren't either"? Or maybe Feinstein when she droned on about how they "are our family and friends and they make significant contributions to our country"? To be fair in the latter case Feinstein was duplicitously trying to conflate MS-13 with legal immigrants which in itself is reprehensible.

And speaking of not being good about being truthful, how about this whooper from you?

Obama did not do what the Trump administration is doing. Please stop repeating that lie.

You're right. His Administration actually did keep some of them in cages^[1] and Trump actually signed an Executive Order designed to reunite the families -- something Mr. I-have-a-pen-and-a-phone wouldn't do (and something liberal groups are now fighting)





1. Remember some of the initial photos that came out that the MSM said were taken now but were quickly pulled when it was revealed they came from 2014?

Yep. You duplicitously pretend that they were talking about MS-13 rather than talking about immigrants. I am getting so sick of your constant falsehoods. Just stop already. You're by far the worst poster on TWeb at just continuously spouting this sort of falsehood, when you've been corrected over and over again, so it's clearly intentional on your part.

The consistent trend in unemployment and major decrease was under Obama. Recently we are hovering around 4 percent.

Accusing Dems of what this thread is trying in vain to do is Conservative hyperbole and generalization.

The benefits described benefits the poor, which conservative hate with great disdain, and helps the economy of the l ow income areas of the country
