 If you haven't noticed the American economy is once again growing and unemployment is dropping. Unlike the four year of lackluster GDP the Trump administration provided. 

I'm not sure where your located but the economy isn't growing locally any place; more and more are shuttering their doors. Almost every business is seeking employees and had to reduce services or days open to accommodate no reliable help.

As far as unemployment, I'm sure the percentage being newly employed is greatly skewed by the masses who were furloughed for COVID quarantine.

So if we lay off 1000 employed and  500 return to work the "jobless" rate grew by 50% ?

Oh greatness, Biden will address the nation regarding the chaos in Afghanistan at 3:45 today; always a fun watch if it weren't so sad...maybe Harris can speak(giggle and coo like a school age kid) after and interpret what Biden's writers/handlers were trying to instill upon the masses...

I' have an ever better idea for this, the USA can send the following over there in person to negotiate with the Taliban:

Hillary Clinton - outstanding resume in foreign affairs; Bill handled domestic "affairs"

Andrew Cuomo - in about a week he'll have free time abundant; if his penal law troubles follow, it's New York, we can stuff and appearance ticket in his coat pocket and hope he returns to court some day 

Hunter Biden - responsible gun owner; knowledgeable in foreign negations and "pipe line" to daddy

Kamala Harris - well spoken and can lighten any mood by her banal banter and school age giggle while "spouting" noting of substance (note pun yourself)   

All I can say is "God Bless this country right now, and our young man and woman who will serve in our military in the near future"   

My therapist tells me this isn't healthy so I'm signing off for today...

That Is commendable - really. Why do anti business, then? 

Because I worked for GM and one other large corporation over my career and saw first hand over the years how they slowly squeezed us to worker harder for less all while fat cats were floating down to earth with golden parachutes. The one good thing about my wretched line of work is the never could figure a way to send it overseas.

Wait a minute, you being a fan of Trump and Republicans, wouldn't the record gains of a 35k Dow in the last couple months be all the proof you needed to show the economy is booming. It sure was only a few months ago when folks like you were telling me what an amazing president Trump was to have the Dow closing in on 30k despite Covid.

Yep artificial made. But there's a small percentage that is reaping the real profits. Yea Bezos and many other corporate billionaires. They got the biggest birthday gifts of their lives when the very first thing Trump and Republicans did was lower the corporate tax rate to 15 percent not to mention volumes of other tax breaks in the form of loopholes and other corpt welfare. Sad part is alot of this additional wealth that's being reaped is the billionaires who couldn't give a crap about American and don't even live in America. Guess it's just more money that will have to be payed back by our children with cuts to Medicare and Social Security and Healthcare. You know, all that Socialist stuff we're told we don't want anyway and will hurt our freedoms, lol.

Lower tax rates attracts companys to bring  jobs back from overseas .

There is no such thing as a corporate tax they just pass that along to the costumer .Your  food cloths  products you buy goes up  you are just shooting yourself in the foot when you raise tax on anyone .  Nothing is free ask the people of cuba how that worked out . You pay one way or the other .

First off, I NEVER CLAIMED to be a Trump fan, and if one's only measure of the economy is the Dow then that's illogical at best.

I don't have time or the desire to play "Troll the net" with opposing and illogical opinions for the sake of creating banter like some others....
