High tech? You mean solar? Yeah those companies all failed shortly after being injected with stimulus money. Like magic. Almost like the money was being funneled elsewhere really.
You did a lot of math to not answer my questionâŚ
How many months of consecutive net positive job growth have we had? If it was zero, then your math wizardry would work. If it isnât zero, then your math wizardry isnât telling the whole story.
Most of that money whether it is solar companies or other place that Obama stimulus package went to where mostly democrat donorsâŚreward for sticking with em since they lost 12 years prior.
As a bonus the company I work for now was conned into buying some of the machinery used to manufacture solar panels and are now trying to use them to manufacture silicon wafers instead. Guess how thatâs working out? Hint: Not well at all.
I never claimed that it told the whole story. I merely demonstrated that a reduction in unemployment rate does not necessarily mean that jobs were created. Thus some of the reduction in unemployment rates under Obama came from a decrease in the work force.
Now for 8 years libs insured us that we wonât be increasing labor participation rate anytime soonâŚthey also insured us that Manufacturing jobs wonât be coming back.
But heyâŚlisten to Washingon Compost. They know how to teach em to think and say.
Wait⌠what was happening from 15-16? Is that line trending up? Gasp⌠Obama was bringing back manufacturing jobs?!
You are using a chart from Conan that shows for almost 30 years⌠labor participation was declining with a few bumps here and there. Do people who retire leave the labor market? Does that have any effect on labor participation?
Oh and you never answered my question⌠how many consecutive months has there been positive net job growth? Once you figure that out⌠subtract the 24 months Trump has been president.
I know for a fact that people that I talked too participated business to pick up even under Hillary.
She was definitely more business friendly then Obama was.
On side noteâŚObama last year we had 1.5 percent GDP growth. Considering that was 7 years after the great recession.
When we had any such recession in the past we always come back with 3 percent growth afterwards. Under Obama we never had it. Oh the libs will say Obama had 3 percent in 4 quartersâŚI think that was in second half of 14 and first half of 15 then it dropped out.
