i said nothing about ue payments.

early retirement? not enough to displace new workers coming of age.

no doubt some mothers have figured out that with the extra money from the government they’re just as well off staying home than working and paying for childcare. question is, why should i be paying for them to stay home instead of them working and paying for childcare?

My wife quit working and collects nothing from the government. What are you talking about?

When did covid related UE end?

no it hasn’t. increased throughout trumps term until the pandemic. lying about it won’t change the facts.

not true. it was fairly stable from 91 to 2007 (66.2 to 66.0) then dropped following the great recession and throughout obama’s term long after the recession was over because of his policies, it increased in trumps term until covid because of his policies. there has been no decades long slow decline, just the great recession and obama. it will go up again, wage inflation ensures it. lets see how the ue rate does when the participation rate starts going back up. ue will stay low for a while, but inflation is the cancer that will kill it.

increasing the participation rate while lowering ue with wages increasing more than inflation is a sign of healthy growth. trump did that.

Labor participation rate increased under Biden. And UE is dropping. By your measure… Biden is doing it right.

That’s gotta hurt the noggin

We discussed this already. Govt sent your money to pentagon. The money for moms are from dems taxpayer.

You are not paying. Oprah and don lemon are.

Back to this, are we?

So now that you realize you read the participation rate graph incorrectly and participation rate has remained relatively steady under Biden while unemployment has dropped, is it safe to conclude your assertion here is similarly incorrect?

My assertion that it’s due to the participation rate was certainly incorrect.

As noted earlier, I consider a dropping unemployment rate as a positive thing, regardless of the cause.

However I stand by my opinion that this isn’t Biden’s doing. It is certainly happening on his watch, but it’s not due to any policy or initiative of his.

inflation… funny you skipped that. but then honesty is not what anyone expects from you

Inflation due to short supplies is a world wide phenomenon.

It is 100% a problem. Not confined to just these shores.

you should just stop, you embarrass yourself with every post.

What it’s not true about world wide inflation.

I am sure you know about Uk inflation and how the Biden admin has made it bad.
