In case you haven't noticed millions of Democrats participate & are also part of the economy so what befalls the nation economically hurts all of us or did you think that all Democrats are just sitting at home enjoying Welfare payments & food stamps?

No, I think they hate Trump and wish for him to fail even if the US is hurt in the long run. Of Trump succeeds at anything, there's less of a chance Liberals will be able to get him out of office. Less of a chance career politicians keep their power and position...

As for wage growth, a good deal of it came from the low end and may be influenced by the number of states and localities that have implemented increases in minimum wages at the start of the year. Overall, though, this whole month's report is suspect because of the shutdown.
I concur. Few people realize the importance of increases in the minimum wage.

That’s rather a rather childish view devoid of all logic.

Oh, btw, Trump IS a career politician as he’s always been a crook like the rest of them.

Yeah we do. Most people make themselves more valuable and go get better jobs.

Those MW McJobs are for teens and others just starting out like you and I did when we were 16.

Raising that wage causes wage inflation.

You are hilarious blaming Pelosi for the February jobs numbers since she has only been running the House for about a month!

I'm surprised you haven't blamed AOC yet !

Ignored, because it has been below average, but not by a massive amount, but now it is WAYYYY below average.

Actually MORE.....much more wealth in the hands of blue and purple areas. Vastly more.

It's really no fun looking at my investments having gone nowhere in well over a year. As far as the job market that doesn't concern me because I always worked for myself and am skilled in many trades.

But I do look around me and people are not "booming" economically from "the economy". It's stable at best - but that stability is at the same low wage situation as we've been dealing with for 20 years or so....longer in some industries (manufacturing, for example).

Last December, Trump announced an "incredible" deal with China. So far, no deal.

Though we keep hearing the same thing every few weeks, according to WSJ and other reports, we are not as close to a trade deal as hoped. No date has been set yet for a summit to resolve trade dispute.

If we do slide into recession, what tools are left?
If we head into a recession with another $2T in debt and tax receipts decreasing what then.


But don't worry, Kudlow says the jobs report is very fluky and we shouldn't pay any attention.

That's a circle they've had an awfully difficult time squaring. Along with the fact that..

Educated voters lean Democratic and highly educated voters even more so.

Blue states contribute more in tax revenues than Red states.

The Special Counsel investigation was started by a Trump appointee.
