Jobless Claims Fall to Lowest Level in 49 1/2 Years

I thought Trump was going to destroy the US economy if he didn't follow Bush's policies (which got us an anemic growth rate and flatline wage growth), strong-form archlibertarianism that no one has ever voted in favor of, and warmed-over Nostalgia Economics.

The number of Americans filing applications for unemployment benefits fell to more than a 49-1/2-year low last week.

The data pointed to sustained strength in the economy.

Initial claims for state unemployment benefits dropped to 192,000 for the week ended April 13, the lowest level since September 1969, the Labor Department said.

It is also a shrewd understanding that the post WW2 arrangements of "Free Trade uber alles" necessary for Cold War anti-Soviet alliances may need to change, now that there is no more Cold War, or at least not one with the no longer Soviet Union anyway.

My theory for a while is that the political alliances that dominated the post-WWII American scene where defunct after the fall of the Soviet Union, and that much of what we're seeing is a result of the shifts. The left is eating itself because the Progressive wing of the Dems suddenly no longer need to play nice with the conservative wing, and instead have allied themselves with the more socially liberal libertarians on social issues and immigration.

It's like the best economy in 30 years, but the financial pundits are always talking about the sky is going to fall any minute now and that any "trade war" will sink the economy.

Of course, the only problem with this economy is you almost have nowhere to go but down when you're at the top.

Posted by: REDACTED at April 24, 2019 01:43 PM (DPjeO)

As long as Pence went willingly, it actually wouldn't be a terrible move.

When she left as Ambassador to the UN, the establishmenty Republicans were aflutter at the idea of her running against Trump for the 2020 nomination. Him bringing her on further undercuts their seriousness, because they'll oppose her a mere two years after pushing for her.

99 My husband was listening to the news on his phone this morning and I heard a report about a severe labor shortage and a short quote from someone saying that they're offering to hire homeless people and will help them with the process of applying.

Anti-Trump spin?

The labor shortage would provide a "challenge" to Trump because of his anti-immigration policies.

Here they were just talking about getting homeless people off the streets, which isn't an easy thing to do. Setting aside people who are mentally ill and drug addicts that are far gone, there's a certain amount of quite young people who ended up there during the Obama years and maybe could manage a job if they could get past the fact they've got no home address or shower.

But it will prove to be a "challenge" for Trump because we don't have enough people already in the US who might look for work if they thought they could.

That doesn't come risk free. If multinationals led by Global Citizens betray America, President Trump has options. Not only can he accelerate the deregulation train, which is the kiss of death to large companies, but start actively sanctioning them with tariffs, trustbusting, and legal scrutiny.

That statistic sounds like utter, bald-faced lies. I would be shocked to find that ANY penguin population has decreased. The main reason is that they live in the antarctic which has not lost ice volume (gained, in fact) so even by their own metric this makes no sense.

As long as Pence went willingly, it actually wouldn't be a terrible move.

When she left as Ambassador to the UN, the establishmenty Republicans were aflutter at the idea of her running against Trump for the 2020 nomination. Him bringing her on further undercuts their seriousness, because they'll oppose her a mere two years after pushing for her.

I think Trump personally likes Pence. However, his desire to have his VP elected President will be his guiding factor.

I like Pence and I'm sure everyone here does too. But as a candidate for President, not so much.

Trump is ALWAYS playing the long game. After he serves and she serves, they will be able to pack the SCOTUS for 30 years.

I'm not sure why though. Yes, the idiots on the Left will shriek conversion therapy gay hating closeted Mother married blah blah blah but that will only make the normies like him more.

There's just something, I don't know, not dynamic enough about him? Maybe?


As I said, I quite like Pence so I hope I'm wrong.

I kind of doubt he lasts more than a single term. I also wait and see to find out if he actually votes against the caucus like McCain did. So far, it's largely been just virtue signalling.

Call me when he sinks something like McCain did with the ACA repeal, or heads a Gang designed to implement progressive policy goals.

Until then, he's just annoying.

260 Admittedly, Pence makes the color grey seem exciting, but-

assuming Trump wins 2020, he'll have his chance to step out and show us what he's made of.

I assume for President Trump it's full steam ahead through the election and then-

fuller steam aheadier for his 2nd term.

that means Pence has the opportunity to show he can help guide and sell to the public Trump-like initiatives.

Hopefully, he won't start belching out crap like "a kinder, gentler Trumpism".

284 Trump actually could have been governor of NY, if he had run.

I once listened to a fascinating radio interview with a guy who was on Trump's exploratory committee. Back then, long before his POTUS run and all the associated baggage, he was polling around 40% in the boroughs and would have absolutely cleaned up upstate, easily giving him the win

In the end he didn't want to do it. A Repub governor in a solid blue state he felt he would be mostly a figurehead (he's right, see: Pataki, G.) and wouldn't be able to get stuff done. And Trump likes to get stuff done, bigly.

He is a decent, disciplined man with some skill as a legislator. But he doesn't have the overwhelming charisma of a Trump, or even an Obama, and he hasn't impressed as a leader. I actually don't blame him, I certainly couldn't function as a President, but people can see that relative weakness. No one's taken that path independently since Carter, and Bush the Greater only won election because of the overwhelming advantages he inherited from Reagan. His fate will warn people away from trying something similar with Pence. And Trump knows it.

Keynes, Government intervention is needed.

Obama passes historic amounts of regulation, and intervenes continuously with bailouts and such, and the economy stagnated.

We have only had three sitting senators become president (Harding, Kennedy, and Obama). Sixteen total former senators have become president but they had other jobs as well like governor in between so that muddies things up a bit.

14 vice presidents have become president but of those Arthur, Roosevelt, Truman, and Johnson took office because of the death of the president so they don't really count.

My husband had some you tube thing on yesterday. There was a new book
out by some woman that was an intern back in the day, and banging John
Kennedy. Really interesting to listen to them fall all over themselves
to talk about how that was acceptable behavior for a President. And they
talked about how Bobby Kennedy ran for President "to reclaim the
throne".

Unless you count the death or resignation of the president it goes back a LONG ways before Bush the elder for a VP to immediately succeed their president. I think its Martin VanBuren (1832)

426 Absolutely this. The Uniparty was already determined never to have another internal upstart like Reagan happen again and then this? I'm glad DJT uses his own hired muscle.

But Reagan had already been CA governor and active in GOP politics for two decades, he wasn't an 'internal upstart'.

Trump is sui generis, and therein lies the threat to the uniparty.

438 I think I'd even be satisfied with AG Bob Barr as a presidential candidate. Takes no guff, very analytical, process oriented, and a legal disposition to address a rogue Judiciary and government regulation.

Is he of the typical mold? Not by a long shot. But the idea of reimposing strict law as written and getting the Judiciary in order has great appeal to me since it's been neglected for generations.

Obviously not. Nonetheless, Uncle Ron was NOT a complete outsider in the way Trump is.

I am reminded of how the Leftist snivelers used to scoff that Uncle Ron was an actor, never minding that between that and President he was also a Union Boss, Real Estate Developer, Republican Party Chairman, and Governor.

THIS. "We're going to tell the bigots (meaning you and I concerned about the border mess) to shut up...." still infuriates me.

Yes. This bullshit poisons many areas of foreign and domestic policy Trump wants to change. That's why it enrages me that theres not more overt support by Republicans of what he has accomplished and their firm commitment to his agenda. There on br another Trump and the Dems have to be crushed before his terms are over.

September 1969, eh?... let's PONDER that date. Nixon had been in office for about 9 months, & 500000 "workers" were "employed full time" in Viet Nam!

So Trump's policies have created near full employment, something not seen since the nation was at war.

Posted by: mnw at April 24, 2019 03:25 PM (Cssks)

462 I submit that the Chinese are NOT dragging their feet on the trade agreement at all. Where's the evidence for that?

Multiple sources (WSJ; CNBC) say the treaty is expected to be signed in late May or mid-June.

The Chinese invented the abacus, remember? They can count real good, & they know that impeachment is a mirage, with a GOP majority in the Senate.
