WHEN WILL THE REGIME STOP LYING?
Once again, we see indications of our economy faltering.
THE EMPLOYMENT SITUATION -- JULY 2024 The unemployment rate rose to 4.3 percent in July, and nonfarm payroll employment edged up by 114,000, the U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistics reported today. Employment continued to trend up in health care, in construction, and in transportation and warehousing, while information lost jobs. <Source> [OCS: What they don’t say: “The unemployment rate rose to 4.3 percent—its highest level in nearly three years when the economy was still clawing its way back from the pandemic.” While great for headlines, these reports are adjusted months later when nobody notices, and the media is free to bury the news. From the footnotes: The change in total nonfarm payroll employment for May was revised down by 2,000, from +218,000 to +216,000, and the change for June was revised down by 27,000, from +206,000 to +179,000. With these revisions, employment in May and June combined is 29,000 lower than previously reported. (Monthly revisions result from additional reports received from businesses and government agencies since the last published estimates and from the recalculation of seasonal factors.)] |
Lying is de rigueur.
Vice President Kamala Harris’ campaign is blaming former President Trump for the latest negative jobs report — nearly a full term after he left office. “Donald Trump failed Americans as president, costing our economy millions of jobs, and bringing us to the brink of recession,” Harris for President spokesperson James Singer said in a statement. [OCS: President Donald Trump handed over a sharply recovering economy to Joe Biden, which he promptly destroyed by curtailing the energy production that drives our economy, inviting hordes of illegal aliens to cross our borders, and signing massive spending bills into law.] “Now, he’s promising even more damage with a Project 2025 agenda that will decimate the middle class and increase taxes on working families, while ripping away health care, raising prescription drug costs, and cutting Social Security and Medicare — all while making his billionaire donors richer.” [OCS: Project 2025 was a product of the Heritage Foundation and was disavowed by former President Trump. It has nothing to do with the GOP’s platform, and quoting its policy prescriptions is an outrageous lie.] Singer added: “We’ve made significant progress, but Vice President Harris knows there’s more work to do to lower costs for families.” [OCS: In the three-plus years of the Biden Administration, everything has gotten worse with incompetent, foolish, and dangerous policies, both foreign and domestic. Inflation and skyrocketing food, housing, and fuel prices have decimated families. Check your wallet and the prices at the gas pumps and supermarkets.] Singer said Harris “will make building up the middle class the defining goal of her presidency, taking on greedy corporations that are price gouging consumers, banning hidden fees, and capping unfair rent increases and drug costs.” <Source> [OCS: Harris will continue Barack Obama’s communist policies, destroying any hope of an American recovery.] |
The worst press secretary in the history of the United States...
Press Briefing by Press Secretary Karine Jean-Pierre MS. JEAN-PIERRE: Now, when President Biden took office, we were in the midst of the worst economic crisis since the Great Depression. But as the president said last night during his Oval Office address and as today’s GDP report makes clear, the United States has the strongest economy in the world. This did not happen by accident. Under the leadership of President Biden and Vice President Harris, we saw the economy grow a strong 2.8 percent last quarter, with business investments up more than 5 percent. Nearly 60 million jobs have been created, and wages are up higher than before the pandemic, with inflation down to 3 percent. But as the president said, we have more work to do. Over the next six months, the president and vice president will keep fighting to lower costs for hardworking families, from lowering health care and housing costs to making billionaires pay their fair share and cutting taxes for families with the Child Tax Credit. <Source> |
Bottom line…
With the progressive communist democrats, it's always bullshit and finger-pointing with little or no accountability. Both Biden and Harris are often incoherent and make little sense.
Look for the corrupt Harris team and their media propagandists to hide her from the public much as they did a mentally incapacitated Joe Biden.
We are so screwed.
