cheetos already has the worst half year of job creation since the second half of 2012. Appears cheetos's second half year will now be the worst half year for job creation since the second half of 2010, and the worst full year of job creation since 2010. sad.
 
said he would not have time to play golf because he would be working all the time (he played golf today).
said he was going to hire the best people - none of the best people want to be associated with him.
said he was a great negotiator - but not a single thing has passed congress.
one thing he said that was correct - as a dem - I am tired of winning all the time.
corker (a former supporter) says he is a threat to the country.

He shot a 73. You have to admit that is pretty damn impressive.
 
I've always wondered if Trump shoots those scores straight up.
He supposedly is a 3 handicap or so. Probably not. Most people don't play completely by the book. Gimme putts, etc. From all accounts he is a pretty good golfer though.

“economists discounted the discouraging report, describing it as a blip in a job market that was fundamentally strong.

Some of the good news released by the Labor Department — a drop in the jobless rate to 4.2 percent and a year-over-year gain in wage growth of 2.9 percent — may also have been skewed by weather disruptions.”

The country experienced similar conditions with Bush's Katrina and Obama's Sandy. Neither time caused negative jobs reports. The economy will have to average 233,000 jobs per month through December to avoid the conditions I posted in the OP.

There were 3 major hurricanes that hit US land this year.. Plus a 4th hit just happened with Nate. A smaller but damaging hurricane as well.

The one in Puerto Rico doesn't count, as the employment statistics there are not used in the reports. Irma and Harvey combined is about equal to Katrina and no similar jobs loss under W. And as I said cheetos's jobs performance in the first half of this year is the worst since the last half of 2012. You may continue your excuses now.

Irma and Harvey were equal to Katrina? Except for the fact they hit two major areas instead of one. Puerto Rico is taking resources. Irma and Harvey are going to cost between $150 billion and $200 billion. Throw in another $50 billion to $100 billion for Maria and that exceeds Katrina. In addition to a much larger geographic footprint.

Finally, I will say that the effects on the job numbers are shaky at best. We can agree there. I don't know if one can measure the long term of effects of hurricanes on jobs.
 
Geography is irrelevant. Money spent to rebuild is irrelevant. Damage is relevant. We're talking jobs. Hurricanes under Bush and Obama had little effect on job reports.

The hurricanes will cost jobs temporarily. Then jobs will increase due to stimulative money for rebuilding.
 
READ THIS THEN TELL ME WHAT YOU THINK. HINT - HE PLAYS GOLF LIKE HE DOES EVERYTHING ELSE.
THE OLD SAYING - YOU CAN TELL A MANS CHARACTER BY THE WAY HE PLAYS GOLF.

As soon as I said that I googled, "Does Trump cheat at golf." That was one of the articles I read. He certainly has a reputation. The crazy thing is he really is a decent golfer. Why does he need to inflate it? Ego makes you do strange things.

One of the things that made golf enjoyable for me as I got older was understanding that the world really doesn't care if you shoot a 75 or an 85 or a 95. Whenever I get the urge to throw a club or let out a string of expletives over a missed putt I always ask myself...who is going to revel in my presence because I shot an 87 instead of an 88? Lol...good lord man...you have so much more to lose by cheating than you have to gain by the stroke gained by doing it.

Hahaha! Did you really just call money used to rebuild "stimulative"?

either you didn't read it or have problems with reading comprehension. 4 trillion in added value to the economy is a big deal

"If during the upcoming administration of President-elect Donald Trump, the stock market were to replicate the success it enjoyed under Obama, rising by a factor of 2.5, then the Dow Jones industrial average -- which currently stands at just under the 20,000 level -- would have to climb all the way up to 50,000."

We can revisit this when that 50,000 level is reached, OK?

I read it, I comprehend just fine, but unlike you I am not a simple minded sucker for propaganda lies looking for anything
bogus or not to support my illogical logic. and since your such a wiz at reading comprehension be sure to hit the links for a little depth.


Look at this: since his election win, the Trump rally has added $4.1 trillion to the nation's wealth. Anyone with a 401k, an IRA, college savings, retirement savings, mutual funds. Anyone with a dime in the market has taken a piece of that $4 trillion.

Also, during this presidency, 5 American companies have emerged as global technology leaders. You know their names: Apple, Amazon, Alphabet, Microsoft and Facebook. It’s a technology world, and American companies have seized the future.

The argument here, such as it exists, is that these companies have suddenly became “global technology leaders” in the last six months, and that this is a credit to Trump? I don't even know where to begin with that logic. I seem to remember iPods being around more than a decade ago.

And this is hardly the first time bogus numbers and logic have been used to argue for Trump's successes. See here. And here. And here, at the 100-day mark, when Conway emphasized that no president since 1900 had ever installed a Supreme Court justice in his first 100 days as Trump had. (Never mind that no one had entered office with a vacancy since President Chester A. Arthur in 1881 and few other presidents had one in their first 100 days.)

The point isn't to rag on Trump's people here. Some arguments are better than others, and maybe they didn't look at that Examiner story closely. But if the White House and its defenders think there is a good story to tell about what's been happening over the last six months, they should probably tell that story instead of focusing on inflated numbers and suppositions like this.

Not doing so just makes them look like they don't actually have an argument.

I almost spit my coffee out on this one DHerd....when you said

Says the guy who cuts and pastes 5-6 articles every day. By the way this is an important piece of the article. Investors might think differently. The great success of the Trump presidency thus far, is not what he's done, but what he promises to do, namely, get the economy going again. Evidently, investors believe he might yet get it done. I would say thus far he is doing a good job.

Just so it's understood, you want to give Cheetos credit for a 2000 point stock market gain but invalidate the 13000 gain under Obama, right?
just to be clear the market peaked at 14,000 under Bush.The market corrected itself after the derivatives anomaly caused a near collapse on most of Wall Street. B. Hussein Obama had little to do with it.
 
yeah we seem to have one of those "derivative anomalies" every time republicans get control and do away with financial oversight and regulations. they are doing it again now - so fasten your seatbelt - they will as they always do end the
dem creative prosperity.

and if you relying on stuart varney you are void of an argument. stuart varney is the biggest media whore on the planet.
a few years ago he was on cnn advocating democratic policies. he has 0 cred

If you're going to give credit to Cheetos, but not Obama, you're just a buffoon.

Believe it or not I would give Obama credit for a solid stock market. I also give Trump credit. EG all I am saying is that part of the numbers you credit Obama for are corrective in nature. You could argue that some of the measures Bush started before he left office started the upward trend. ;)

And I'll remind you that trump has done absolutely nothing other than rhetoric that would influence the market. Nor has he done a single thing to create jobs. Not a single thing.
 
washington examiner article:

new claims for unemployment benefits dropped 15,000 to 243,000 in the first full week of October, according to the agency, as the job market bounces back from hurricane damage

NOT IN SPITE OF BUT BECAUSE OF - IDIOT.
 
Low new jobless claims are a good sign. They indicate that layoffs are rare, and accordingly that job creation is strong.

Unemployment benefits are available for up to 26 weeks in most states. Fewer people are now receiving benefits of all duration than at any time since December of 1973, when the total workforce was much smaller. That is a reflection of the strength of the jobs market, and the availability of new positions for laid-off workers.
