More Fallout from Disastrous Jobs Report: Left Declares That The Only Problem Is That Democrats Aren't Spending Enough !

The Left thinks they know what the problem is.

It's the same problem they always have when their plans and schemes fail catastrophically: We just didn't spend enough of money we don't have on our catastrophic plans and schemes.

Biden's Chief of Staff, archprogressive/nigh-communist Ron Klain -- who Redsteeze snarks is the actual president puppeteering Biden -- retweeted this claim, indicating it's what President Klain believes to be true.

"Stutters" McGee slurred his way through a statement Klain wrote for him.

After having promised that victory over coronavirus and the depression it's caused would be a snap -- the only real problem was that Trump was (well, still is) president, and now he's gone -- Joe Biden now spins that of course this is going to be a long, difficult, Recovery Summer VIII type of problem.

I love this: The jobs report was so unexpected that CNBC had to read it and re-read it to make sure it wasn't a mistake.


The biggest miss by analysts in history:

They get their one-million-jobs miss by taking the highest of the analysts' estimates, a gain of 1.25 million jobs, and comparing that to the 266,000 actually created.

This is a rare, rare instance of the media putting the most negative possible spin on a Democrat's failure.

But that's how big this is.

Get ready for the expected shift from "jobs created" to "Jobs created, saved, or funded!," as we saw under Obama.

Thanks NeverTrump -- and thank your billionaire leftwing funders for us, too!

By the way, the Corporate Karen wing of the party found a hill they're willing to die on, and you'll never guess what it is!

9 Senator Mitt Romney
@SenatorRomney
POTUS' claim that "corporations aren't paying their fair share" is beneath him. If a company earns a profit, it only goes 3 places: taxes, growing the company, &/or shareholders. $ to shareholders is ALSO taxed, taxing the profit TWICE. The "share" going to taxes includes both.

==========

Tax them 17 times. I don't care anymore. I'm willing to pay more for corporate product that I'm buying less and less of.

Also, fuck Romney for talking about Biden like he has any decency whatsoever. He's a creepy, lying, pervert who's made a fortune through "public service" while raising children with his own values that include incest, drug abuse, and corruption. Biden is scum.

1) Send the illegals home, build the wall
2) End H1Bs
3) Require any company selling product in America to have at least 50% of its employees, measured by total salaries, located in the US.

Yes, nannies and heads of lettuce will cost more. Unemployment will also quickly race to 0%.

26 Here's some additional perspective. Right now 34% of all payments come from the government. That's a record high.
This report is just the canary in the coal mine. People are not working because the government pays them more to be sloths. You have a country being overrun by illegal immigrants who will be stealing jobs from people who can least afford them. You have a government looking to raise taxes on corporations and productive people. You have a regulatory environment that is planning on a brand new siege. You have inflation that is going to rise in a historic way. You have future demand that has been pushed forward for no reason other then the government funded it. Of course they want to spend more, that's the only way to keep the music playing

Bad news at the speed of (gas)light, 24/7. And at least two full generations lacking some of the most basic of life skills such as cooking, sewing, mending, building, cultivating, harvesting.

So many circles begging to be squared, and with a societal blast radius that's going to make Hiroshima look puny. Go long on popcorn and real estate. But mostly, real estate.

I'm positive I know their angle on this. They want to put the country on a WW II style command economy. If they get to the end of the playbook - you're looking at rationing. Sacrifices of all sorts wrapped up in "patriotic" terms. Oh - and any dicks like me with skills they want ? Don't even think about not being "down with the struggle" and working where and when they dictate.

If they get their way - we're looking at a perpetual "War on This" and "Crusade against That". I am absolutely certain of it.

Bad jobs report: Trump dug us a hole deeper than we believed, so give me a break here, folks; I am confident my formula will work but obviously we need to spend MOAR money on jobs programs to fully recover.

Good jobs report: I (Biden) obviously have found the formula that is getting us out of the hole Trump put us in; but to make sure we don't falter now in getting everyone a good union job, we need to spend MOAR money on jobs programs.

I can't snark at fat people, because I am one. But I do like seeing a real, full-on, too-heavy-for-the-Hoveround, gravy-sweating, grits-pocked chubbo come by, because I can at least look and think, "OK, I'm a fat bastard, but at least I'm not THAT bad!"

90 read more closely. it's telling you that he graciously sent you that
stimulus money you got a couple of months ago and that it's trump's
fault that he only sent you $1400 apiece instead of the $2000 he
promised.

Hence the "if I read it correctly" caveat. The letter (written in crayon by his very own hand. That's going on the front of the fridge right now!.) said I had been issued funds via DD within 7 of the letter, dated yesterday.

3rd one went for 6 plane tickets to FL and 6 theme park tickets (aka - a coming spring vacation).

Stimulated all needed industries - dental, travel, and windows/doors...

And with inflation coming, getting the doors and teeth done seemed prudent...as did traveling before things might get out of hand in areas...

Biden only had a double-digit IQ when he was at the peak of his intellectual powers, which was probably back in the 1970's. Now that he's a senile old man, who has has multiple brain bleeds and brain surgeries, he's even more stupid now than he was then, and he was very stupid then.

This is why Psaki admitted that Biden's team doesn't want him answering unscripted questions. Can't risk having the rubes who actually voted for this idiot realize that his brain is mush.

But hey, at least he doesn't write offensive tweets, right? And that's what's really important when you're the president of the most powerful country in the world.

174 We'll get our assessment soon. Happily, we have a little old lady who keeps the rural properties in our township assessed generously from our POV (iow: below market price). For IL, we pay very low property taxes.

In California, we have this thing called Prop 13. Property is reassessed when it changes ownership then no more than 2% annually.

So the family next door that bought their place in the early '80s and did a modest stealth remodel pays X. We bought our place in '93, ripped big chunks of it down and rebuilt ten years later, we pay 2.5X. Someone who bought down the block two years ago pays at least 6X.

Nah, that's not the moral of the story. In business, no one cares about you at all, no matter what they say. You're a line on a spreadsheet, which adds up or doesn't. People will discard you like trash the moment it doesn't add up. Because that's what you are to them at that point. Like pretty much all aspects of life, this is an area where conservative, traditionalist values have been weaponized against you. Work hard. Be loyal. Sacrifice for the greater good.

Fair share? This is one of the best propaganda slogans of the Dem-Media Complex. It would be easier to get a Democrat to publicly admit to a big mistake and say he/she is ashamed, than to get a Democrat to give you a number for the "fair share" of taxation for corporations and the wealthy must pay. Many reporters have tried, and all have failed to get any Dem politician to say a number.

Without numerically-defining the "fair share," the Dems can always campaign that the fat-cats aren't paying their fare share to support the down-trodden.

the U.S. is a horribly racist country where black people have to live in constant fear.

Did you see where Michelle Obama recently said in an interview that she and Barky were terrified when their daughters got the driver's licenses, because they're so afraid as the parents of black children, about what might happen to them if they innocently do something like play the radio too loud?

Because we all know there are raaaaaacist white cops out there just waiting for an excuse to blow away innocent young black girls for no reason other than their skin color, right? Happens every day in this horrible country. Everybody knows it! See it on t.v. every day!

So tired of this bullshit. And for this multi-millionaire woman, who has been given special privileges every day of her life because of her skin color, to be spreading these filthy, destructive lies just enrages me.

Yep, we all know where the violence comes from, and it's not whites or Asians.

Blacks, who are only about 13% of the population in the U.S., commit more than 50% of all the violent crimes here, and 55% of the murders in the U.S.

And only a few dozen blacks are killed by cops every year, and usually for very good reasons (like the girl in Columbus who was killed while trying to stab another black girl), but blacks kill each other every year here by the thousands.

USA Today ran an editorial recently bitching that somebody had mentioned these crime statistics but had omitted that blacks get shot by cops at a rate that is disproportionate to their percentage of the population. LOL. Of course they do, and there is a very good reason for that: blacks commit a disproportionately high amount of the violent crimes in this country, and they interact (and interact violently) with cops much more often than other racial groups as a result.
