Is it now?

You got my attention.

Please explain why it is better to let a nation fail economically than to reinforce jobs that keep our economy running and income tax coming in rather than unemployment going out.

Many disgruntled right-wingers are currently scapegoating democrats for the failed polices of the republicans and trump of the past four years.

Facebook flagged the post as misleading.

The permit was granted in 2019 and only 1.2 miles of the extension was built. The jobs were for seasonal construction work vs permanent jobs. "The State Department forecasted that no more than 50 jobs, some of which were in Canada would be permanent."

So yes, there is a ton of money lost in temporary jobs, but there's more to the story. Read about tar sands oil, the impact on American land owners and the environmental impact.

Biden is doing a great job with Covid, and that is the key to getting our economy and jobs rolling again.

Some will argue that our stock market just hitting a new record is attributed to Biden, but I disagree with that.

This is not his first rodeo dealing with yet another Republican economic disaster. He and Obama did a fine job getting us out of the great recession and the H1N1 pandemic in 2009. I have full faith he is the right person in leadership now.

Lets not forget that Trump left office having lost more jobs then he created.

Maybe because they can do math and you, apparently, can't.

It’s actually not fair to blame all debt rise on the sitting president. Many of Obama’s plans went into effect during Trump’s presidency, so in effect Obama takes the blame for some of that. That would apply to Biden as well. It would take a more complete study to figure out how much debt can be attributed to each president and Congress combination.

You are too busy making this bailout of an industry that always gets bailouts going back decades into some miraculous applaudable political accomplishment that you delved into the just plan silly.

Globally air traffic in 2020 was down 65.9%. The US was down 59.6%. There was nothing unique about America's air traffic decline, we were actually a little better than average in that regard.

Pretty much ALL countries had reductions, slapped restrictions on other countries, and had restrictions slapped on them. Just the facts.

Is that what our federal government is supposed to engage in, putting the nation in debt for trillions of dollars through borrowing money from China, and simply giving it away to private corporations???


What about all the small business owners who lost everything? Where is their bailout? Oh, that's right, they aren't a giant corporation with deep pockets and friends in Congress.


Welcome to neo-fascism where corporate friends of government politicians get free money from the federal government. Glad to see you are on board with it.
