Try and focus little fraudster. The facts are dem pols have and are destroying every city, state & municipality they run. Every single one. The results of a businessman (used to be a dem) & Republican using free market policies to reverse decades of dem globalist policies have produced tangible results that choke your bs out. Read & learn : Merry Christmas 1969. That was the last time unemployment in America was 3.5%. Until now, that is. Thanks to President Donald John Trump's tireless efforts to restore capitalism in America, a record 158,269,000 Americans are working. Unemployment is a whopping 1.2 points below the unemployment rate that Obama left him, and well below the 7.7% rate that Obama had when he stood for re-election in 2012. It was 7.6% when we elected Obama in 2008. The press glosses over the failure of Obama's $787 billion stimulus in 2009 (which pushed unemployment past 10% for the first time in decades). But then again the press glosses over Obama's failures in health care, healing racial division, working with Republicans, Benghazi, Iraq, Afghanistan, and fighting ISIS. President Trump inherited messes in domestic policy, economic policy, and of course, foreign policy, from a Post Turtle who was in way over his head. Seriously, America thought a first term senator was ready to run a multi-trillion-dollar government. Historians will look back upon that presidency and laugh and laugh and laugh. To get out of those messes, America brought in a billionaire CEO from outside of politics. It worked. CNSNews.com reported, "The Labor Department's Bureau of Labor Statistics said the economy added 136,000 jobs in September, as employment in health care and in professional and business services continued to trend up. Employment in government also continued its upward trend in September, with 22,000 jobs added. On a negative note, manufacturing employment dropped in September, losing 2,000 jobs." The labor participation rate is 63.2%. Some believe that is low. However, that is out of all people 16 and older with no ceiling on the age. 16% of the population is retired. That leaves a little over 20% of adults not in the work force, which allows for stay-at-home mothers, college students, and the like. Retirement is expected to peak at 22% in 2022, which should push participation below 60%. There is a labor shortage with more than 1 million more job openings than there are workers. President Trump pushed companies to invest in the United States, which reversed some of the export of jobs to Mexico, and the export of corporate headquarters to Canada, Ireland, and Europe. He opted out of the Paris climate accord, and the TPP, both of which were aimed at shrinking the number of jobs in America. Tax cuts for both workers and corporations have helped. The president spoke for America in a tweet today.
