I am shocked, just shocked I say, that I have not heard the MSM uncover this fact.
I don't know about the black employment/homeownership rates, but anybody saying that Unemployment in general is low is full of shit. They were when Obama said it, and they are now.

First of all, it was announced on MSM the other day. But, I'm shocked that the same guy, and I use the term loosely, the same scumbag who "redlined" black folk from buying/renting apartments in affluent neighborhoods in New York, would lift even a pinky to help black people own homes, much less provide positive leadership and affect change in the unemployment sector.
Got to be a hangover from the Obama Administration and the programs he created during his 8 years of socio-economic advancement. You know, that libtard socialist movement you right-wing death squads like to talk so much shit about. I can't imagine Trump being for such liberal programs and advancement by any people of color. Hell, then that would make Trump a - dare I say it out loud in public - A SOCIALIST!!!
Wouldn't his KKK Membership be revoked!? Surely the Nazis would drum him out of the SS....Wow! There must be some mistake! What would his donors think? Somehow, I think he'll make it up to the Koch Brothers. Yeah, that's gotta be it. He's got a
hostile takeover plan up his sleeve. Somewhat like the one he's trying to pull on the good folks of Puerto Rico. First, lull them to sleep with master race lies, then lower the boom. Wall Street, then change a few laws, then declare a State of Emergency benefitting the Hedge Fund Crooks holding illegal bonds and such to foreclose on the proper owners.
That's gotta be the plan.
Scumbags all!

What the hell is wrong with you people?
JSF: The "unemployment rate" is a bogus figure; it includes people who work as little as one hour a month as "employed". That means a lot of baristas, McEmployees, Walmart greeters, and Uber drivers are counted as "employed". I'm sure that Trump wants (for political reasons) to take credit for the stock market bubble (floating on sea of zero-interest loans) and meaningless "unemployment" data, but even TRUMP knows that the only meaningful data is industrial production and manufacturing. Don't go boosting these meaningless measures of "growth"; they will evaporate like frost in the sunshine.
SGG: You're completely incomprehensible. Trump is not the one extending auto loans and mortgages and student loans to "subprime" borrowers; it's the banks. And just like before, THESE loans will evaporate like frost in the sunshine. So put down the bottle, and try again.

The what?
8 years of Obama was terrible for both the economy and for social issues. His administration is probably the number one reason that Trump is in there in the first place.
What are you even talking about?

Siggy, you're way too easy. The only one boasting anything is Trump. Funny how the right wing complains of people living off welfare, and yet still complains about "baristas" working minimum hours (as a set up by the very people who complain most).
Tell me, since you know everything. What constitutes "employment" and "unemployment"? - please, I'm so far behind. Enlighten us poor dullards.

Trump is taking credit for something he had nothing to do with.
And yeah, things are so great with Mr. Scumbag in office. What a leader!
So, Obama had nothing to do with the economy getting better since the Great Depression of 2008-9?
Trump has been in office for 1 year, and you think he had something to do with anything, economically speaking! Okay, I'll bite - what the FUCK did he do - exactly - to bolster the econmomy? What, if any, programs did Trump create to boost the economy?
Infratructure? (like he promised)
The Wall? (like he promised)
Immigration Reform? (like he promised)
Tell me, oh great one.....What the FUCK did he do?

You know what? I take that back...I know what he did to bolster the economy:
He revitalized the Golfing Industry..................
.........111 Days of Golf. Damn, now that's leadership.
"Hey Ivanka, what's on the agenda today?"
"You have to screw your constituents out of any possible advancement by pushing the...ahem! 'Tax Reform' daddy"
"Call those two scum suckers, you know...McConnell and Ryan. Get them to do it."
"Ok, daddy.."
"Phew! I'm exhausted...I'm going golfing. Get my private jet ready!"
What a leader!

Correction: Trump is taking credit for something that doesn't exist, and never existed in the first place.

I didn't say he was. In fact, I'd be surprised if somebody could actually dig up a quote where I ever said that he was.

No. He didn't. Because the economy isn't any better since 2008-2009.

The only thing that benefits me personally so far is that less of my money will be going to Federal taxes next year. Can't say much more than that right now.
What is it exactly that you think Obama did in 8 years?

Dude, I apologize for my surliness.
I'm just sick of Trump. Period. I'm sick of hearing about Hilary this and Obama that. Fucking guy has absolutely nothing to say about his "accomplishments" so he shoots off his mouth about those two that has nothing to do with anything. They are no longer in the picture. He won and it's been a year and he's still talking shit about Hilary and Obama. Fucking move on already, you are the president.
Ok, enough of that rant.
Well, he's taking credit for something. You say it doesn't exist, fine. But he's taking credit for it. I didn't make it up, he said it. Next:

Never said YOU said anything. I'm just making a statement, a sarcastic statement.
I think he sucks, BIG TIME! That's all.

Well now, let's see. When Bush handed Obama the keys to the White House, the economy was pretty much in the toilet. And it lasted well into 2009-10. I looked it up on my phone and, according to the NY Times, the recession ended in Sept. 2010. The recession lasted 18 MONTHS (previous recession lasted 16 months in the 80s).
According to The Economist, April 15, 2010:
Quote:
The recession
When did it end?
A question of not just academic interest
Apr 15th 2010 | Washington, dc
THE American recession is over. In the summer of 2009 real GDP and industrial production hit bottom and resumed growth, and expansion in both measures strengthened as the year ended. Industrial production has continued to grow in early 2010 as, in all likelihood, has output. By the end of the current quarter the American economy may have returned to its pre-recession peak in real GDP.
Most economists agree about all of this. Prominent voices like Northwestern University's Robert Gordon, Harvard's Jeffrey Frankel, and Stanford's Robert Hall have declared the recession dead and gone. But those men all sit on the National Bureau of Economic Research's recession-dating committee, responsible for pinpointing the beginning and end of business cycles. On April 12th that committee announced that it was not able to set an official end-date for the American recession.
That a date has not yet been chosen is not that unusual; the committee has taken longer to decide in past recessions. The choice to delay a conclusive statement may have been an act of caution, to avoid a black eye in the event that the economy contracts again before reaching its previous peak.
But the suggestion that the economic pain is not yet definitively over struck a discordant note amid cheerier headlines. Earlier in the month this paper expressed the hope that a needed transition in the American economy had begun, and others have gone further. The New York Times and Washington Post have both featured business columnists arguing that Americans are too pessimistic about the strength of the economy. BusinessWeek praised the success of Obamanomics on its cover. Newsweek's cover announced, “America's Back! The Remarkable Tale of Our Economic Turnaround”.
Some optimism is warranted. Recent data indicate that recovery in manufacturing is well established, and service-industry expansion has picked up pace in each of the past three months. Labour markets are finally improving; during the first quarter of this year employment grew by 162,000 or 1.4m, depending on which data set you use. And investors have bought the idea of recovery. The Dow Jones Industrial Average has risen by over 10% since early February, and recently closed above 11,000 for the first time since September 2008.
But full-throated cheerleading is premature. By Mr Gordon's calculations, much of the data point to June 2009 as the likely recession end-date. Since then the American economy has seen a net deterioration in employment by about 900,000 workers. TheNOTIFY: Y | REPLY | REPLY WITH QUOTE | PERMALINK | TOP | HOME
