Last time I checked, referring to a person , by name, is referencing a single person. What's next, buttercup? Evidently a simple moron can't understand. You're still not getting it. The jobs numbers and the economy are following the same trend they've followed for the past 8+years. I do agree, it should be simple enough for a moron to follow, but you're not.
Unfortunately newspapers leave out the word "administration" and omit the contributions of congress in creating titles for their articles. As to the U-3 unemployment numbers you listed, they are very much cooked and often don't reflect reality; someone who stopped looking for work isn't counted. Also it's usual for economies to recover quickly after a recession, but unfortunately employment is a lagging economic indicator and usually it takes goobermint intervention to drag out recoveries and employment like during the Great Depression.
So, now we're back to "unemployment numbers are cooked. fake news'. Didn't this topic start to taut the economic numbers under Trump? Didn't you defend the unemployment numbers with the 'Congress was taken over by Republicans', in this very thread? Now, the numbers are cooked and don't count? Republicans have a funny way of trying their dead level best to ignore facts. It has to be a product of living inside the Republican bubble.
I just assumed that the same administration would cook the numbers the same way before and after the midterm election and noted that the chart showed a faster decline after the midterm election. There's no way to sugar coat the feecal recovery that started in 2009 and the $10 Trillion of borrowed money.
Except to give the GOP donors a $1.5 Trillion tax break? Add 15% more to the national debt, while screaming about the national debt? Republicans are hilarious.
You're forgetting about the future $10 Trillion of debt gifted to us from the Ol'bama Administration and 111th Congress unless the economy shows a great deal of growth to pay for some of that spending and people leave entitlements for employment. I doubt that there will ever be 60 votes in the Senate to fix entitlement spending and the last time Republicans had a super majority was during the Reconstruction era after the Civil War. I also remember reading that a rise to 2.4 or 2.5% GDP from the previous administration average pays for the "Trump" tax cuts. If memory serves me, I believe a rise to an average 1.9% GDP growth rate means that the debt over 10 years adds up to $1 Trillion but if it stays at the average of the previous administration the debt would be $1.5 Trillion.
