Hard to go wrong with John Prine but I'll spring to upgrade to Newcastle myself.

This one seems especially appropriate.

Re make of Lord of the flies! Lord of the doublegunBBS!!!

Yea, well Joe I thought you were coming out to the ranch to look for old shotgun brass!

Bird Dogs and Fly fishing on facebook is a nice one as well

Chris,
Your first source points out that unemployment was near 8% when the Amateur took office, and later peaked at 10%. It stayed there for two years.

Best,
Ted

We now measure the U3 rate instead of the U6 unemployment rate which is the traditional standard. If you use the same measure we always did in the past the U6, unemployment is at 6.9%.

Huge difference now is you can�t swing a dead cat without hitting a sign that says �Help Wanted�. Everyone who wants a job, basically has one, and employers are realizing if they need to hire someone, they have to hire them away from someone else.
Every single one of the building trade unions, locally, will interview you on the spot. If you have or can get a CDL, you will make $100K this year, without trying too hard. Old employers of mine email me a couple times a month, wanting to hire me away from wherever I am at.
I have truly never seen a time like now in my previous 40 year of employment. Nothing has ever compared to this.
The Amateur didn�t build it.

Best,
Ted

Hmm, when did we start using the U3 unemployment measure?

Yes Ted, you are 100% correct.

When President Barack Obama took office in January 2009 during the height of the Great Recession, the unemployment rate was near 8% and it went up to 10% and stayed there for nearly 2 years.

However, I am confident that you looked at more then just 11% of that graph detailing this information and would agree with me that in 2009, the unemployment rate, under President Obama's predecessor, President George W. Bush, had already risen buy a fairly steep slope from 4.5% in 2007 to 8% in January 2009 when President Obama took over.

It is also noteworthy that by mid 2010, a year and half into President Obama's 1st term, the unemployment rate started to drop from the high of 10%, and continued drop precipitously until he left office where it was at 4.5 % precent again. It seems from that graph that there was an average 1% drop in the rate per year after 2010.

It does seem that, according to the game graph you made your astute observation from, that although the unemployment rate is still declining, the rate of decline in the unemployment rate has slowed under trump since January of 2017.

I would also note that your original statement was that there was negative job growth or a net loss of jobs under President Barack Obama. I had asked for your source on that so I could review it. I have not received that yet. As your premise is inconsistent with the factual information I have provided you, do you still stand by it, and if you do, would you please provide a source for it?

Best to you as well.

I have yet to receive confirmation that you have the ability to admit that barry said manufacturing jobs in the US are never coming back under any President. If you want, I can get a transcript, third hand extrapolate what it means, and retroactively impeach anyone that didn't see him walk on water?

Did you notice, while progressive 'journalists' where fixated on impeachment and climate change, a bunch of international political and business leaders were jostling for time with your President at Davos? Did you catch the part where the head of the wto says he's looking forward to meeting your President within a week or two in Washington to right wrongs he admits his organization colluded with previous administrations against US economic interests, such as middle class job numbers and wage stagnation?
