Thank you President Biden for your strong leadership (again): "Biden administration reaches tentative deal to avert rail strike"
- Thread starter From Ashes To Glory 2
- Start date
Blame low wages on the Republicans ,unemployment rate was low and admittedly you know the stock market did very well
The unemployment rate was low because so many job-seekers had their unemployment expire...
Obama Economy: 9.9M More Employed, But 14.6M Left Labor Force
Since President Barack Obama took office, the number of employed Americans increased by 9.9M, but there were 14.6M more who left the labor force.

Labor market is thriving far better under Trump than under Obama
Businesses across the country are hiring and more Americans are working better jobs for higher pay.

"During the Obama administration, a major reason the unemployment rate declined was that fewer people were in the labor force because what the BLS calls the labor participation rate continually declined as people gave up the search for a job or retired. For purposes of the official unemployment rate, if you have not looked for a job in the past 30 days, the BLS considers you out of the labor force.
Under President Obama, labor participation hit lows last seen in the late 1970s."
Hmmm... Latel 1970s... Anyone remember the economic malaise of Jimmy Carter's term???
At least back up your positions with real and relevant information rather than the tired and worn-out media soundbites that you parrot...
Republicans continually fought to keep the minimum wage low so many were better off not working than working for low wages so they left the workforce. Unfortunately it did not end so rosy for Trump.The unemployment rate was low because so many job-seekers had their unemployment expire...

More ifs, ands and but Trump...
Minimum wage does not equate with wage growth, especially "real" wage growth...
- According to the Wall Street Journal, wages for "rank-and-file" workers were growing at the fastest rate in a decade, outpacing those of their bosses.
- Wages for the bottom quarter of workers were outpacing gains for high income workers.
- Wages for Black Americans were growing even faster. After years of stagnation, President Trump's economy finally accelerated wage growth for Black workers.
So rich people got more rich under Obama and the poor people just dropped out of the labor force all together. That’s the reason unemployment numbers looked low under Barry.
What doe raising minimum wage do other than drive up prices?
You’re asking a former “computer room” janitor a question about hourly wages. He has no idea how that works. Just knew his check would show up every couple of weeks. (Just like his welfare *cough* SSI *cough* checks do now.)
and that's the point of the propaganda that you are fed and that you happily swallow.
Can we get this back on track? Intentional pun, of course.
Rumors that the railroaders will strike soon anyway. I don't blame them. I think they are trying to kill engineers and conductors, work them to death.

Going to take a different engineer.... Current adninstration is off the tracks...
I was a computer operator . I know if poor people have more money they spend thus raising the earnings of companies . Earnings are what drives stock prices. I draw social security for all the years I worked and I do not draw any SSI or welfare checks. You keep repeating lies Raleigh.
How something you pay into be welfare? You are hopeless die hard Republican who might have more money than most people. Poor people spend money and the more they have they spend it . Corporations make more money because they spend more. Do the math.
Just a little update on Biden saving a rail strike

Large rail union SMART-TD votes to reject labor deal as national strike moves closer
SMART-TD, one of the largest rail unions, voted down a labor deal, and a national strike could begin in December, a serious blow to the economy.
This will be awesome!!!Just a little update on Biden saving a rail strike

I don’t think people realize how this will have an impact on every aspect of our economy. It should be headline news but it’s just an afterthought because reasons
So. Another story reported as a Biden success before the election….ends up being complete BS??? No way!Just a little update on Biden saving a rail strike

I want to see Biden and the Union in all their glory.
America can share in the pain of them fighting for vacation time and sick days.
Without unions workers would never be treated fairly in any way
Henry Ford was an exception to the rule. He paid good wages to his workers and said they would buy more cars. But most would not want to pay good wages or have benefits if they did not have unions.
Yet most larger companies do pay good wages and provide benefits without having unions.
About 10 percent of American workers are union. Many of them in government.
that is part of the problem today union busting starting with Reagan has hurt workers wages while executives have increased their income many times over.
If the unions offered people a reason to join they would.
So if it's not Trump’s fault it must be Reagan's?
Let's look at some information that runs counter to your partisan talking points...
History of union busting in the United States - Wikipedia
"However, under a new reading of the Landrum-Griffin Act, the Department of Labor took action against consulting agencies related to filing of required reports in only three cases after 1966, and between 1968 and 1974 it filed no actions at all. By the late 1970s, consulting agencies had stopped filing reports."
"From 1960 to 2000 the percentage of workers in the United States belonging to a labor union fell from 30% to 13%, almost all of that decline being in the private sector."
Reagan was actually a union president...
Hall of Honor Inductee: Ronald Reagan
"For seven terms, Ronald Reagan served as president of the Screen Actors Guild of America, where he negotiated groundbreaking contracts providing fair payments, health insurance, and pension benefits to members."
Though he did get tough with labor unions, especially the air traffic controllers, during his presidency.
Well shit. Oldies dentures just fell out.So if it's not Trump’s fault it must be Reagan's?

Oldie is a vestige of the old failed socialism movement in early 1900s. Most union leaders at the time were socialists and just like clockwork, socialism also failed there (as socialism always does)
That was before he became a republican.So if it's not Trump’s fault it must be Reagan's?
