In b4 numbers are wrong,  Obama is lying, liberal news site, etc ,  etc

Not lying.  I'm sure it's a correct number.  But...

 

From the article: "Labor Participation Rate Drops To 36 Year Low; Record 92.6 Million Americans Not In Labor Force."  This is how they come up with this number!

Wrong- Mr. Obama is an absolute economic genius. Just as he said this is the most peaceful and tranquil time in our history, he has personally engineered a robust recovery. Only problem is, the middle class (for whom he claims to be the biggest advocate)has seen its income/purchasing power decline by more than ever before.

The government reported unemployment rate is grossly misleading. When people get tired of looking for a job, or are too discouraged because of the crappy job market for the last 5 years, they fall off the roles of those considered unemployed. Even though they still don't have a job, that's not considered being unemployed; therefore, you get these bogus unreal numbers.

What the left seems to fail to understand is that a tighter labor market would help the poor and middle class more than a government subsidy. If there were fewer taxes, regulations and other disincentives for businesses, more businesses would hire more people thus raising the demand for employees which, in turn, would raise wages. But, instead, they believe government can make those things happen in a better manner by complaining about the "unfair disparity" between a CEO and the floorsweeper of the same company. If you cut the pay of the CEO in half,( in the name of changing that disparity),it will be of no benefit to the average Joe nor will it make the economy more vibrant.

There is an old saying: Liars figure and figures lie!!! Everything is so agenda driven that actually nothing is ever done anymore for the good of this country or its citizens! If anything good does happen that benefits "we the people" you can bet it was an accident and not a purposeful thought out process by those governing us! Both sides are to blame!!

      BRAGG'S STAR WITNESS

      Cohen……a lying, backstabbing pos who does nothing but lie every time he opens his mouth. Let him utter words the prosecution wants to hear, and we can convict. Cohen told his ex advisor that he wanted to kill himself. What a worldly loss that would be. Let anyone on this board be put through the wringer with false charges and lies like Trump has had to endure, and you would be screaming at the top of your lungs how illegal all of this is.

      It was and remains perfectly timed and choregraphed Kangaroo Court, whatever Cohen just said or lied about.  Face it, under Soros installed Biden and Merrick Garland, the USA is now officially a Bananna Republic with a Goverment that weaponizes itself against and destroys its political rivals. Putin and Xi are SO proud!  Dang I miss Democracy.

      I haven’t been watching closely, but even the liberal sources even tell the story as “the defense really took apart Cohen’s testimony on Thursday.” It sounds like sloppy work from the prosecution to point out a specific call as being “the one,” when it was easily concluded that this particular call could not have occurred the way that Cohen (and the prosecution) claim it to have happened.    The bad news is that I doubt that it matters much-I suspect that most jurors minds were closed before testimony started.   I don’t see Trump leaving with anything less than a conviction based on the venue (NYC).

      Governor Abbott pardons Daniel Perry for murder during protest…

      By bullets13 · Posted

      Tough case all the way around.  The guy had a lot of online activity come out where he made racist statements and statements about killing BLM protesters and looters.  So when he then goes out and does it, it looks really bad.  I've seen a lot of videos where people have driven through protestors, defended themselves against them, etc., and didn't bat an eye.  This feels different, but that doesn't necessarily make it murder, either.  His account of the events that happened vs. the witness accounts were both very different, but I'd also expect both sides' accounts to be self-serving and inaccurate to fit their narrative.  Not really sure what to think on this one.

      @CardinalBacker   Wanted to get your thoughts on how Cohen did as Bragg's star witness..... My Take: The State spent two days acknowledging that Cohen lied all the time but now he has come clean,,,,,,,it took the defense (having same evidence state had), just a few hours to confirm Cohen lied to the current jury a couple days ago......  While I thought initially Trump would be found guilty due to venue, with best case a hung jury, there is now a pretty good chance he will be acquitted...... Thoughts anyone??   This is the hidden content, please Sign In or Sign Up
