Economy grew at 2.8% in third quarter

I love how the Republicans went grasping for some dumb criticism and all of the MAGA people immediately lapped it up and started repeating it

The vice president hasn't done much of anything since the office was invented. John Adams called it "the most insignificant office that ever the invention of man contrived or his imagination conceived."

I'm sure you guys really remember that Dan Quayle agenda, or the amazing policy coups of Mike Pence. In fact the only vice president I can think of who has ever had a heavy hand on policy is probably Dick Cheney, and that's because George Bush basically abdicated responsibility to him.

but keep shaking your fist and shrilly shreiking "she already had four years!" as if Harris was somehow setting policy during the Biden administration, or as if every MAGA asshole wouldn't have gone apoplectic if she had. Dipshits.

 

+1 for leaving out the “a”

 

Good one, Chem.

 

Not a liberal leaning board.
It’s a liberal board!
There’s only a handful of normal folks posting here.
The majority are extreme, hateful progressives.

 

I thought I detected it. I mean, I expect it from Noles......but not my beloved Gators.

 

Please. Your both-sides quacker is off target. If the right-wing nuts weren't trying to blame Biden for every item price move and any hiccups this board wouldn't be posting "thanks Biden" for every piece of good news. I dont know a single poster on here claiming Biden is the driving force in the economy. However, the entire right-wing contingent here thinks the current economy sucks, its Biden's specific fault, that energy production is down (its up) and they believe we had the best economy ever under Trump because of his "policies" that never were legislated.

 

I agree that it hasn't been completely even on both sides. The oil production falsehoods for example. The constant claims we got that Trump had rebuilt an awful economy.
But in general, those aligned with the party in power have always been eager to post every good bit of economic news while the other party is just as quick to dismiss it.

 

Not to be a dog on a bone... but the general consensus among the left under Trump's administration wasnt to pretend the economy was bad - it was to question whether Trump had any impact on an economy that showed zero momentum change vs Obama's last three years. Trends simply continued. The increasing deficit was the item democrats pointed at for the hypocrisy of the right.

 

Yeah, I'll agree with that. I don't think we got the claims that economy was terrible despite good numbers under Trump that we got under Obama or Biden. Or, perhaps even more telling, we didn't get the claims that the numbers were fake like we did under Obama or Biden.

The whole U6 vs. U3 unemployment argument is pretty funny to look at now.

 

All the people I know who bitch about the economy are upper middle class men in their 50’s.

 

I want to go back to the days where someone like Dan Quayle who spelled the word potato as potatoe would be considered too dumb to be president.

Now the type of dummies that think that politicians control hurricanes are voting in big numbers and trying to make this whole country sound like them.

 

Yea. If they are doing bad in this economy then they are F'd. With home equity so high and stock prices so high if you didnt do well in your 50's you have no prayer of being well off in America.

 

That’s the bad faith. They’re not doing bad. They’re living great lives. They’re bitching for partisan purposes.

 

And I have no problem with that.

 

That is a great number for the economy. I just think everyone has already determined their view on the economy at this point and that number is not likely to change anyone's mind this close to election day. Millions of votes were already been cast before this number was announced.

 

FAKE NEWS! 12,00 jobs added? LMFAO! That means it's a negative in reality.

What about the jobs report... the one that's always revised downwards about 100,000 jobs or so because of inaccuracies. That means a negative jobs and that JOBS WERE LOST LAST MONTH.

 

Hiring hit by strikes and storms in Oct. Unemployment is in the right zone. 4%. Not too low wages shoot up, not too high that people cant find jobs. That Biden is running one hell of an economy. Even Rick could get a job in this economy.

 

ADP (private payrolls) showed an increase of 233k during the period.

Though I did see an analyst on Fox Business predicting the govt data to be weak. She cited the Hurricanes.

No clue why the hurricanes would impact the Govt data and seemingly not impact the private (ADP) data, but she called it.
