  1. Don’t let the GOP steal another mid-term election. Every time we make progress under a Dem president, the GOP finds a way to reverse it

    1. @INCARNATE wanna know what a racist looks like go ahead and look in the oval office of the white house.

    2. @INCARNATE toddle? You mean trundle? 😂😂 he said “DO YOU WANT YOUR KIDS GOING TO SCHOOL IN A JUNGLE, I DON’T ” ALSO ” THEY’RE GOING TO PUT YALL BACK IN CHAINS” AND “LOOK AT OBAMA, HES THE FIRST WELL GROOMED, EDUCATED, AFRICAN AMERICAN ” AND LETS NOT FORGET ABOUT OLD CORNPOP “he was a bad dude” 😂😂😂😂 HES RACIST!!

    1. Well to be honest this would be happened if Trump got a second term. Because ppl are going back to work and Business are reopening. One could argue that it would’ve been greater or lesser in scope but we would’ve seen these same numbers under Trump or Biden in 2021

    2. @Jim BobYes, these thoughts are yours. But you don’t really know, you are here because the script has changed. All of a sudden all far right trolls became somekind of centrists. Not left, nor right but what they are writing goes way right Anyway, you don’t have a chrystal bowl… You don’t know, so these are exactly your thoughts or your script you are following. The only thing is that people who are not vaccinated, could be fired. Vaccinated people will get the jobs of the unvaccinated. But at this moment, it’s a great achievement. So, great…

    3. @AJ Yes, the trillions in debt that the orange traitor added has caused a lot of inflation. Thankfully Biden’s actions and great handling of the economy has brought the US out of the recession the orange loser caused and has drastically reduced the inflation that would have impacted the US.

  2. The degree of economic health is directly proportional to the rate of vaccination. Low vaccination levels correlate with with slow economic growth.

  3. Unemployment down is a positive. Trillion dollar infrastructure Bill will bolster these figures.
    President Biden is doing great! 👍

    1. You mean the Trump Tax cut which expired on the middle class but permanent for himself and wealthiest .1%

    2. @Greg Morgan Trump put us in debt with his incompetence, his moronic tariffs that FAILED, and his tax cuts for the rich…but that I’m sure you applauded.

    3. Don’t forget that Biden has given the US the lowest poverty levels in recent history. He’s brought more Americans OUT of poverty than anyone else.

  4. So will all those who supported/support tRump because of the unemployment rate now support President Biden? Let’s see now rational they are…I am waiting…

    1. @Bryce Ingelsby the tax cuts NEVER attracted any new businesses, TX and FL are not going fast they are bogged down because of covid, the economies of the blue states have down much better than red states.

    2. @psycobleach46 tullis did you even bother searching up the info? Red states unemployment is lower than blue.

  5. This is all very good news and shows that Americans want to get back to work, be productive and begin earning again. There are still tens of thousands of good high-paying jobs out there and this is an excellent opportunity for people to begin a new career. We see women entering traditional male-dominated careers.
    Joe and his new administration still has a lot of work to do because during the Trump supercharged economy Unemployment was at 3.5% which is considered full employment. So, we have a ways to go but let’s all get out there and grab onto them to get a high-paying jobs. This is really good news.

    1. Trump supercharged nothing but corruption and incompetence. Jobs were on the same trendline as Obama had them but Obama had more jobs created and better ones than Trump. Manufacturing had entered a recession under Trump before the pandemic and his tariffs were a disaster for our economy.

  6. Biden has quietly blown away every economic metric under Trump including record highs for the stock market! It is great to see a President who cares for the little guy who has the least and not for the most wealthy individuals and corporations who have the most!

  7. Democrats are meanwhile adding record employment numbers, ramping up vaccinations, creating economic growth and lifting children out of poverty.

  8. Food inflation was higher in 2020. Don’s sheeple like to stick that fact in their “memory hole”.

  9. Biden’s doing right by American Workers and Building Back Middle Class jobs. republicans claim to support working people, and still support cutting taxes for the 1% who get loopholes to pay no taxes.
