Considering the unprecedented length of the expansion and the low unemployment rate, continued job growth at this point demonstrates that today’s labor market is historically strong."
"The unemployment rate fell to 3.5 percent in September, marking the 19th consecutive month at or below 4 percent unemployment. The unemployment rate is the lowest it has been since May 1969—over 50 years ago."
"With a 50-year low for the unemployment rate and consistent job gains, the September employment data make it clear that the American labor market remains historically strong."
That is in no way, as you claim, running the economy into the ground.
Tweety's failure was expected, it's been the hallmark of his life.
He propped the aging expansion using every tool possible and prior to Covid we were further in the hole than ever before in a growing economy.
He didn't fail. He used "every tool possible" (that's called leadership and administration) to continue the economic expansion into historical strength.
All the countries you cite, really shut down their economies and are now experiencing less than 10% of the deaths and new cases that we are and are going back to normalcy, carefully.
Trump doesn't have the authority to shut down the economy. The states have the power to do that within their borders. The political systems of EU countries provide a more direct executive control than our federated system. I would guess that you prefer a more authoritarian system than we have. In the meantime, you will continue to criticize Trump for not being more of a dictator.
When Tweety doesn't like COVID numbers, he stops testing.
Testing has not stopped.
When Tweety doesn't like census numbers, he stops counting.
Has the counting stopped? September 31 is the deadline. Deadline was moved from the official end of July date to October 31. Then moved up to September 31. Still time for folks to get their forms in. I sent mine in a long time ago. Our mayor is begging everyone to fill out their forms. Seems like there has been plenty of time to do it, but a lot have not.
When Tweety doesn't like vote tallies, he stops the mail from delivering them.
The Post office has been ordered not to deliver them? Didn't here about that.
& when Tweety doesn't like intelligence, he stops listening:
Far as I know, he still listens.
Last seven days which is the data that matters in controlling the virus, looking at total deaths is like saying how great Striped Bass do, look at how many there have been.
The "last seven days" changes every seven days, sometimes gets better, sometimes gets worse. Probably were seven day stretches before that looked good for us. Otherwise, how can totals be fairly similar now. The overall figures from day one to now have not significantly changed in the past seven days and have not pointed out some disaster in the U.S. response.
Tweety's lies and incompetence have lead to the greatest outbreak of Corona in the world.
China's lies have led to that. The initial WHO incompetence didn't help. His inherited bungling regulatory agencies didn't help. But that was corrected.
There’s no football. Grandparents can’t leave their home. Kids aren’t going to school.
Tweety has wrecked the American way of life.
